We already knew how special Mark and Susan were, as well as our other son Andrew, but it's lovely to know that there are such lovely people out there. Thank youAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18078593798498406116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-190879196040037685.post-48639789490858692882013-08-22T22:44:31.839-07:002013-08-22T22:44:31.839-07:00Mike and Audrey,

What I want you to know is take it slow and don't compare yourself to anyone. Just try, and do some every day. If you don't want to, do it anyway, just a little. Over time it will get easier and you'll be so glad you did. <br /><br />Best wishes to your whole family,<br />LanieLaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06992945371099188904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-190879196040037685.post-8381359050039718722013-08-22T18:18:50.927-07:002013-08-22T18:18:50.927-07:00Going to add this comment for Katrina as she was h...Going to add this comment for Katrina as she was having trouble posting it and left it on my Team DDPYoga wall: <br /><br />Mark, this is a comment for your parents. I can't comment on your blogity blog...so too bad, accept it!<br /><br /> <br /><br />Mike and Audrey, first off, congrats on getting into this. You got a heck of a son (and daughter-in-law) who have your back on this! Whatever you do, do NOT get discouraged! It does get better, as time goes on you'll find yourself modifying less. Keep at it!<br /><br /> <br /><br />There's a saying that's something along the lines of "fall down seven times, pick yourself up eight". There may be days you skip workouts, eat poorly, or fall back into old habits. It happens. Don't beat yourselves up over it, brush yourself off and try again the next day. <br /><br /> <br /><br />You both get so much love and respect right now for starting this journey. We're all pulling for you!<br /><br /> <br /><br />Again, I'll stress this. There is NO SHAME in modifying the moves. Mike - if you're doing something that makes your knee angry (I myself have never had knee replacement surgury, but I've had other knee troubles over the years), back off and modify it in a way you can do it. Audrey, same goes with you. Listen to your body. But please, stick with it. You guys CAN do this.

Tofu is gluten free in and of itself, but yeah, worth a label check :) <br /><br />I answered your second question in the latest questions from the plank: http://heroddpyoga.blogspot.ie/2013/08/questions-from-plank-episode-2-how-does.html<br /><br />Enjoy :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18078593798498406116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-190879196040037685.post-2085848542175242512013-08-05T03:19:54.254-07:002013-08-05T03:19:54.254-07:00Thanks Mark :)
I don't drink alcohol (well, I ...Thanks Mark :)<br />I don't drink alcohol (well, I did have one margarita while on holiday and it tasted nice but I can do without). And I am dairy intolerant, so no milk anyway. I tried to cut gluten and everybody is looking weirdly at me (also because I eat plant based/vegan) but maybe I can cut more there. I do eat a lot of tofu but have never read that there is gluten in there when I check the label, what does have gluten is those vegetarian sausages you find and as any processed stuff it's best to avoid. I was wondering if you were shopping in the gluten free isle, I find this is just a money maker anyway, especially if they label tomato sauce as gluten free, just buy tomatoes and make it yourself, right? And a lot of it is just highly processed and contains my favorite scapegoat of all time: high glucose fructose syrup. I eat a lot of beans as I don't eat meat and also have measuring cups for them. I actually geeked out when they arrived ;)<br />Portion control, as you say, is very important and I was amazed by how little you sometimes need when you are on vacation and what you do when you are back in your own life. So well, I will give cutting out gluten another try :)<br />Thanks for your answers :)Izzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00358858527084240582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-190879196040037685.post-38815023995393611252013-07-30T18:43:25.876-07:002013-07-30T18:43:25.876-07:00I'm very much working on getting her in front ...I'm very much working on getting her in front of the camera...including threatening to film her whilst she sleeps so it's old news :) It'll happen eventually Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18078593798498406116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-190879196040037685.post-14534638122885890202013-07-30T18:29:58.325-07:002013-07-30T18:29:58.325-07:00Hi Dave! hahahaha! what a couple of cute kitties. ...Hi Dave! hahahaha! what a couple of cute kitties.
