WOW you sound like such an interesting and FUN person, sure would LOVE to have you closer, as I love to have coffee with my friends, and it seems anymore we are all just too busy! I used to be real good at writing letters to family and friends, but just no time now and just love the computer, no stamps, etc! If you want to pm me your email address I can give you mine and we can pretend we are sitting together chatting! I have one other fc friend that I chat to occationally when we have time.....
I am back to work tomorrow, have been off for 2 weeks, just flew by, but had a good time in Whistler with my dd!

Train lady if you are still interested in yoga... after all those activities you have...
Me and a couple of my friends were just talking a month ago and found out we all wanted to exercise but our schedules, kids, work etc don't let us...
The one class that was in the evening allowing us to go after work doesn't offer baby sitting in the evening! We also didn't want the kids to go to another baby sitter after a whole day of school, day care etc.
Then we suddenly came up with the idea that we will meet at one of our homes and put the video on and exercise! The kids just play around us or (older ones) go upstairs to the game room. Iniitially they all wanted mommy's attention but then they got used to it. The youngest kid is almost a year old and the oldest is almost 7.
The three of us each others' motivators and cheer leaders! It is working out greatly so far. We just increased the frequency to 3 times a week.

That's a good idea, sunnymom!! I don't know why it is I cannot motivate myself to use exercise videos at home, but that is a good idea to get together with friends!! Yoga really made me feel good the times I took a few classes.
I have been mall walking with my dad for exercise and am enjoying the exercise and my time together with him. I am up to 5 miles twice a week and am adding a third day next week!


How does everyone else motivate themselves to exercise, whether it be exercising with friends or ....whatever works for you??
