I will bring the ball in before you get here - otherwise, I'll just trip over it taking those baby steps. Thanks for the words of encouragement Lori and Mark Salinas!

I'm coming after you with an exercise ball and protein powder! (That's funny) Thanks for being a good sport and letting me "go public" with our communication. That is awesome that you are taking a Yoga class. Baby steps, girlfriend! Speaking of which... is the exercise ball out of the wheelbarrow, yet? @Mark Salinas ... and every journey begins with a small step. You gotta start somewhere - might as well be where you are. Right? @The Friend - Watch out. I’m coming after you with an exercise ball and protein powder! (That’s funny)

@Mark Salinas … and every journey begins with a small step. You gotta start somewhere - might as well be where you are. Right?

Thankfully, Lori and I don't have all that many friends in common anymore! Here's the thing. I HATE to exercise. I smoke, I drink diet sodas like they're going out of style, and I love chocolate. The latter I can sort of justify by all the articles that say that chocolate has been discovered to actually be good for you. So, in my toxin-laden mind, somehow, that chocolate can actually counteract the cigarettes and caffeine. Okay, you health buffs, okay - I KNOW it doesn't, really. Before you all come after me with pitchforks and torches (or exercise balls and protein powder), I get it. I used to be just like you. I'd get up at 4 a.m., go work out at the gym, drink weird stuff and get enough sleep. I'll admit - I did feel good and I looked pretty buff. That was before my kids started moving in and out of the apartment that was once my taut stomach. After that, my time was no longer my own and my apartment building fell into disrepair. I became a slumlord of my own self. Now, with Lori's help, I am working, a little at a time, to start making some of those much needed repairs. First step, a Yoga class. My doctor is making me do that because my bones are getting twisty and arthritic and I hurt all the time. So, maybe that is the second step on the road to getting back in shape - the first step, as you all know, is admitting I have an issue that needs addressing. Wish me luck!
