Thanks to everyone for the comments. I am just getting back in the swing of things here after getting home from our trip. I really appreciate your thoughts.

@Andrew: Hi Andrew! We did indeed have a ball. I got a lot of thinking done as well, which should help with the overlordship. (heh, I don’t even think that’s a word…)

@Jenn: Thanks for the encouragement – yep, new chapter indeed. That is actually the metaphor we use too.

@Lisa: Hi Lisa! I am off track on the pushup challenge unfortunately. I was doing fine, but in the last week or so I’ve missed a lot, so I’m restarting at week 2 I think. Can’t wait to catch up on your progress.

@Robin: Hey there Robin – Thank you for the encouragement as well. Beginning on Monday I’m really going to start pushing hard to make it happen. I’ll be in touch

@John: Hi John! Glad to see you are back on your game. I haven’t been able to catch up on my blog reading yet (hopefully today), so I will see ya over on JohnIsFit.com. Can’t wait to find out how it’s going!

@Christine: Hi there Christine – I imagine you won’t see this comment since you have r-u-n-n-o-f-t to the woods, but your vacation also sounds perfect. We used to have a canoe, but couldn’t afford to move it up from southern CA. I love canoes – I hope to get another soon. Craigslist here I come…

@Christina Rose: Thanks for stopping by – I will definitely check your site out. I’ve added it to my official “to do” list for today.

@Tom: Hey Tom! Sounds like we have a similar love/hate/love relationship with beer and floatation devices. I love beer, but hate the effects on my waist line. . .

Good for you and starting fresh. I aspire to not have to work in an office, or at the very least be my own boss. Also, it sounds like you are having fun. Two weeks ago I went on a float trip, and it’s great to get outdoors, and the canoeing was great exercise. Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on how you look at it I had more than enough beer to last me for a while.

I love fishing! So this is good news to me, the headline really grabbed my attention. Haven’t had the chance to go out lately though. Cheers for the info anyway. I have a similar blog you might want to check out… http://yourlifeyourbody.blogspot.com/

Hope you like it!

Cheers,

Chistina.

I would love to have the life of a vagabond on a permanent basis. We are going to get to do that next week as we head out on a family adventure into the wilderness…well sort of. ..Good Spirit Lake with an electric site for our camper…close enough. We have had our canoe out and gave it a test drive. I can hardly wait to go. Smell all that fresh air? I can. Your vacation sounds heavenly. My kind of a holiday. Outdoor living is healthy.

Quiting corporate is a huge step, but how cool to be your own boss. It’s really easy to see how a guy could go out on their own too – I’ve made about $250/month the last couple of months from my blogs, and it’s a tiny part time hobby. Yeah its still a big step to making enough to do it fulltime, but I could see how it could be done. Good luck!

I’m happy for you taking the plunge and following your passion. Yes it takes guts but if you really really want something you will find ways to make it happen.
Keep us updated when you have power and can drag yourself away from fishing.
Best
Robin

Way to go, Metro. Hey, that rhythms.

Really, it’s exciting to get out on your own, and I agree with Jenn, fishing is a great way to start.

I just posted about my push-ups. Week 3 isn’t as hard as I thought it would be…………………….:)

Kudos to you! Seriously, congrats! It takes guts to follow your heart, but it seems like you’re doing just that. (And fishing is a great way to start your new life chapter! Who knows what you might “catch.” hehe,)
