Something positive.

Yesterday I decided to go attend a different gym because a couple of instructors at my usual gym were teaching there. I didn't think anything of it... in fact, it turned out to be a great plan because I was able to drop the kids off at their dad's place, which was just minutes away from this place.

Upon my arrival I saw R and K, and they greeted me so warmly. I realized then and there that I am part of this circle of friends now, and it was a great feeling. They have both been encouraging me to head down the same path, telling me I have such great flexibility and great form, not to mention I can really push the weights in the weight training class they both teach.

Last night, however, it was this BodyFlow class I was attending (which basically is a combination of tai chi, yoga, and pilates), which K has been encouraging me to train for. If I can just get over my fear of being up on the stage, clad in spandex, with a mic on. Basically I haven't figured out how these people can work out in front of other people and TALK at the same time. I'd be utterly flustered.

So this is why I love the gym so much. I see K there all the time because she's the group fitness manager. Not only are they all in awesome shape, which is inspiring to me, but they're a very nice bunch of people. So something positive, of course. I have yet to be scolded for being at the gym for as many hours as I have been each day... but then, who's keeping track but me? :)

I can barely walk & talk at the same time, let alone exercise & talk into a mic! LOL!
