So a friend who comes to my Zumba class has been talking to me and leaving comments on here about trying out this "strength training" class at the Rec Center. I have another friend who had been going, and loved it, but I wasn't commited to going. Until now...I CAN DO IT!!!
It's August 1st...I've slacked for a few too many months now...and I need to get back on the band wagon. So here goes...the class that works for me is from 5:30-6 AM...so yes it's EARLY...but oh man...my arms are KILLING me after just that half hour. I had high hopes of thinking...sure I'll go to this class, then I'll go to the spin class after!?!?!?! HA...not yet...gotta work up to that I suppose!!! I'm a wee bit SORE!!! But here's to starting out...here's to getting into the habit of getting up early, and doing something for ME. It's something that gets pushed aside WAY too much in my life...and I need it to stay happy...so here we go.
I'm committing to eating better...less sugar...more water...more fruits and veggies...more exercise that focuses on different parts of my body...I know I can do it...I saw it happen in just a couple months at the beginning of the year. Then I got upset, frustrated, and lost ALL motivation and desire. I need to stay positive...(which isn't an easy thing for me lately)...but I know I can do it...I know there's hope...and I want to see progress and results.
I've had a new blog given to me from a GREAT friend...and the messages and emails that come from it, really get me thinking...and realizing that I...ME...I am the only one who can choose how I will react to things...how I will let them affect ME...how I will handle them and go with them...and how MY perception of things will be. It's all up to ME...so I've tried to think about that this last weekend. Although there have been a couple set-backs...and I still get frustrated and upset...I know it'll take time...but I want to do it...I want to be happy...I want my family to be happy...I want us to all be happy TOGETHER. Not in our own little bubbles...but all together.
So...here goes...August 1st...a new start...a new month...a new week...a new day...I CAN do it...I WILL do it...if anyone would like to join me and make little changes turn into BIG changes...you're welcome to...I'd LOVE the company!!! :) :) :)
Thank you to all of you for the amazing support...the hugs...the concern...the LOVE...it has all been felt...and I appreciate it more then I can express!!! I've got some GREAT people in my life!! Thank you...HERE I go!!!

YES YOU CAN DO IT!!!!! :) I'll join you! :) Here is to a healthier happier you!!! Love you! :)
You are a rock star! 5:30 am. Wow. I think the thing I love the very most about strength training is that it's a constant reminder that your body is working (because of the soreness). Way to go!
