Hi Julie,

Thanks again for another great post. I’m in pretty much exactly the same scenario, except I think it’s my stomach that just tapped me on the shoulder, oh no wait, I think that’s gravitationally impossible.

Either way, am just getting back into yoga after two years of pregnancy, breastfeeding and extreme exhaustion – even the yoga’s hard, have yet to find the courage to tackle cardio. Thanks for the inspiration.

Julie, You have NO idea how much I needed to read your words of encouragement! This is my second attempt at starting my own business (the first one being pretty feeble) and I am beginning to feel the “oh gosh, maybe I should just stop now…” doubts. I am great at the planning, creating and networking…but crossing the abyss is the tough part. My family and friends would say that I am great at that; and usually I am! But when it comes to taking this ONE step, I don’t know what happens to me. Maybe it’s because this particular step will impact my sig other’s life and it makes it closer to home. Please, please keep a spot for me “over there” – but also, send me a life line! Thanks again for your vote of confidence in all of us out here:)

Good for you! I’m definitely there right now. Got a HUGE tap on the shoulder this weekend. While you’re over there, keep an eye out for me because I’m on my way.

Good for you! The morning is the best time to work out, methinks. Glad you’re back on track. Rollerblading scares me. I got pushed into doing it once at Golden Gate Park while hung over and never did it again. The roller SKATING looked fun, though as did the disco circle.

Keep it up! (Your butt that is.)

Dad – I didn’t say that you weren’t extraordinarily handsome – just that you don’t look like a super model, that I don’t come from super model genes. Capiche? You should be very proud…

I would not look in the mirror and compliment myself if I was not proud of my 66 year old body. What mirror are you looking at?

Just what I needed to read as I begin the effort
to lose the twenty to twenty five pounds I’ve
been literally dragging around for the past
year or so. It just crept up on me (and
stayed there). Oh, I fondly remember that
feeling of being light and swift on my feet.
Thank you.

@Julie – So glad my comment warmed you! I actually do love running. I really do. My five year hiatus doesn’t testify to that truth. I’m ready to be infatuated again.
