Anyone have an opinion or know the difference between using hand weights and those new ball things I'm seeing everywhere? I forget what they r called but the handle seems to be at the top and the weight is underneath. Kim, I just recently read the 1 hour breakfast thing as well. I'm on day 2 of trying. Metumucil (1st large glass of water- been doing this for 3 months), something to eat. I was open for business the first day but did not shop. This second day is a little easier. Maybe try a hard boiled egg for breakfast for the protein. After 8 is a BIG Problem because of the shift work. But, that goal is somewhere in this equation for me as well. Staying cool in the heat wave. Have a great day all!
