I think I was around 7 years old at the time, and I thought he was just being mean for telling me that I could not have one. Well, I could be rather irritating, and he finally let me have a bite out of one. That was my first taste of Tabasco Sauce, and it took several years before I could stand to even get a whiff of the stuff. Yeah, my dad had a good laugh after he "convinced" me to quit crying.

She's only 5 years older than I, so every now and then I tell her she's going to feel really sorry in twenty years when people think she's my mother. That makes her pause for a moment, but she still looks young now so it's not yet enough incentive to get her to quit. Sigh.<br /><br />I love exercise! I've always been active since I was a kid, and though I no longer do organized sports now (just for fun!) I make sure to exercise 5 or 6 days a week. I have an elliptical and I often read while I'm on that. I use weights and I have a couple exercise DVDs I like; Cindy Whitmarsh is my favorite. I see good results pretty quick when I do her workouts!<br /><br />My husband and I eat pretty well, too. I make sure we have fruit and/or vegetables with each meal. We have the NutriBullet, which is awesome. I love making a healthy veggie/fruit drink for breakfast after my workouts!<br /><br />But I never ever say no to chocolate!! :)<br /><br />Happy reading and writing! from <a href="http://lauramarcella.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Laura Marcella @ Wavy Lines</a>Laura S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13934230198562773803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-83514366160107476562013-05-30T09:21:36.634-07:002013-05-30T09:21:36.634-07:00Congrats on working on your health!

Any more and it works against you.<br /><br />Dark Chocolate... A MUST! a piece a day is perfect!<br /><br />SO glad you stopped smoking! It truly is a killer!<br /><br />Juggling... How cool! I remember you mentioning this ages ago. Glad to hear you still keep it up.<br /><br />Hot peppers. Yes, spices are also healthy.<br /><br />WALKING.. a must, and SOOO enjoyable.<br /><br />Now, as for the Pizza... well the cheese has minimal protein, but the crust is BAD... WHITE FLOUR is NEVER GOOD. LOL. SO try to keep that at bay.<br /><br />Thanks for joining the hop!Michael Di Gesuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17047267262428143113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-9883945318676129532013-05-29T21:34:27.187-07:002013-05-29T21:34:27.187-07:00Good for you for quitting smoking!
