Subject: RE: BS: Accountability - counting goals 9th month!!
Michelle, I tried yoga a few years ago. Our local community college has yoga lessons. When I signed up the office lady said the instructor had been with them for many years and was very good. So I turned up at the class full of hope....and no one, not even the instructor, spoke to me. It seemed to be a class of 'regulars' who all knew each other and the instructor, and she knew them, and I felt I had gatecrashed a private class and had no business being there. I persisted for a few lessons but each week was the same, so I left and haven't gone back.

And I used to dance a lot - Scottish country, Irish set, Australian colonial, Contra - but an arm injury (at a dance!) a few years ago meant I didn't go for a while. When I started going back the Sydney dance scene had changed a bit, I kept trying but was told that, as an 'unaccompanied woman' I was unwelcome.

My diet's OK - the occasional piece of chocolate - but overall not bad. It's the exercise that I lack.

Sorry about my rant last night. I have to get it off my chest sometimes.

Cheers
