Time seriously needs to SLOW.DOWN.NOW.
Other than mourning the rapid growth of my son, it was a pretty quiet day. We took a family nap in the afternoon once hubby got home from work and in the evening I went to my second Zumba class at Good Life in Halifax with Angie, Lex, Lesley and newcomer to the Zumba world, Lynn. Poor Angie had hit a kitty cat on the way to the class and I felt so bad for her because being a cat person myself I can only imagine how mortified and heart broken she must have felt over it all. When I see sadness I try to lighten the mood so hopefully being my sarcastic and witty self made her feel better if only for a little while. :-)
The class was not as high impact as the week before. Don’t get me wrong, I still clock watched but not to the extent I did last week. I was still a hot mess (in the literal sense) and still felt drained at the end but didn’t feel the burn like last time. I also was not as engaged in it this week. I’ve been having some major lack of energy which I know is more than likely hormonal but I pushed myself to go. It is so easy to cop out at the last minute and provide a hundred excuses not to go but I now recognize that pattern of behavior and stopped myself before I even started. So, as I was saying, not as fun this week but I got some activity in and that’s what matters. I just found there to be way too much movement and turning this week and it felt like I just got turned to go one direction for a few steps and the instructor was already heading the opposite direction. One step forward and 10 behind seemed to be the name of the game for me. I’m a big person. I do not move quickly! I know Lynn was just counting down the minutes until it was over and I give her props for giving it a try but completely understand when something is not your thing. I plan to keep going because I refuse to quit something. I’ve quit too many things, too many times out of sheer laziness. Not this time!
Once I got home I watched The Biggest Loser and was beyond thrilled when Amanda made it to the Final Four. I’ve been rooting for her all along so am super excited for her.
