Thanks, everyone, for your words of encouragement....
I'm happy to report that the first two days "back-in-the-saddle" have been successful.... starting to get that "I can do this" feeling again...

Razzle - yes, I do excercise. At least 3 times a week during my lunch hour I run 1.5 miles at a gym close to my office. However .... I've been traveling on business way too much lately thus making my attempts sporadic.
Hopefully I will not leave the state again for the next 3 weeks and I can continue with my plan. Today will be the third straight day....

Thanks again for boosting my spirits!

Robin
