Man I really feel you ^^^^. It is a struggle for me to not place so much energy & worth into the hands of my WAS. Slowly but surely we will get there.

Congrats on the job, that's awesome!!!!

2 - The class at work is offered on Wednesdays. Also, I found a "beginner's DVD here at the house and put it in to try it last night but couldn't get it to work. Going to try again tonight just to get an idea of it before I make a fool of myself in a class with my co-workers!

Labug - God knew it before I said it, he probably just gave a sigh of relief for me to finally realize it!

Its called "Yoga: Conditioning for Weight Loss" by Gaiam. My W has a collection of all kinds of stuff she rotates through.

Since you asked I actually had to go get it so I'm plugging it in now to try!

OK, I started it and there is no way I can listen to that lady talk to me for 30 minutes or whatever long that thing is. I'll have to try something else....

That's the way I feel about Delilah the radio show host. I'm sure you can find another yoga dvd.

My son use to LOVE to listen to Delilah at Christmas time. So very thankful he grew out of it!
