It is no secret to anyone who knows me that I love to eat, and I do not love to exercise. That being said, turning 40 has come along with some extra pounds that I wouldn't mind shedding. I jump-started my "return to semi-fitness" with a 21-Day Movement Challenge. I found it was good to have some time set aside each day for it, and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. When my kids watched their TV shows in the evening, I went upstairs and did my workout.
