Exercise can help alleviate depression

Been there, done that, have a closet-full of t-shirts
I know. I’ve been there. I had always tried to find time to run on weekends or hike with my husband or my kids. For a while, I was able to maintain my weight, but a career move and a change of work location and, for almost three years, I hardly found time to do anything. … Continue reading Been there, done that, have a closet-full of t-shirts
