Great poem! I'm living my fitness dream. One of my favorite bicycle rides is to climb from Boulder (~5400 elevation) to a little town called Ward (9200 feet) and then if I'm feeling even more energetic, to ride along a rolling road to Caribou Ranch, then back to Ward and home. It's a long ride, lots of climbing, but so beautiful. It takes a lot of earlier rides to get to this level of fitness, but when I reach this point, I'm living my dream. - 5/15/2011   9:41:58 AM

Beautiful and congratulations on the weight loss up to now and that which is to come. - 5/15/2011   9:21:12 AM

My fitness dreams are to be able to run and play with the kids. I want to hike through the forest with my llama. I am walking along paths where trillium and pririe flowers bloom. I can walk with him up steep hills and look out over broad miles of terrain. I can ride my bike for 30 miles without ever flagging. I can pull on a pair of size 8 jeans and feel really comfortable with out the elastic. I have energy, creativity, imagination and I am beautiful! Thanks again Indy girl.

In my dreams, I have NO physical limits - no spinal or brain injuries! I walk freely, effortlessly, and often play with my granddaughter at a park. There was a period of time when I was crippled in my dreams, and I would struggle and suffer the effects. I'd wake up feeling hopeless and powerless. Then I realized I had become very depressed, and started dealing with it... I knew I was getting better when I began to walk again in my dreams! - 5/15/2011   4:51:22 AM

Thanks for a great poem! And I know you will get there, soon you will be walking all over Epcot Center and Disney world.

You have done so well and are such an inspiration to me!

Hugs
