Dinorah has officially turned me into a gym rat. I've been -meaning to go- since I started at JSU last August, but I never made it. I even went so far as putting some of the free fitness classes I was interested in taking into my calendar, but something -always came up- that stopped me.
Now that she actually got me in there (turns out these things are a lot more fun / less intimidating with a friend), I keep running away to the gym. It's currently just about the only ME TIME I get, so I really look forward to it every day. And while I would like to lose a few pounds I have to say that just being up and moving myself has felt really nice and regardless of anything else, that is really good enough for now.
I am shocked at how much I really enjoy yoga. Damn, that feels nice! Although in the Cobra position, everyone else in the room looks like a long, slender snake... while I'm over here looking like a short, stubby toad, but it's all good. 😂😂😂 Not gonna let that stop me! I tried the Pound class this morning, too. The drummer in me did not like it. That was some white folks rhythm if I've ever seen it, and not at all what I instinctively do with sticks in my hands. 😂😂😂 Also, my knees aren't too happy with all of those fast squats, but I'm going to hang in there and see if I can work up to them.
Overall, I'm having a great time and feeling better (and better about myself) than I have in ages. If any of my friends have also -been meaning to- get more active, find a way to make it happen. I can't imagine you'll have regrets. If you need someone to go to the gym with who won't intimidate you, message ya girl. I'm still a total newbie, and I'm pretty free until about mid-August.
Later, friends. I hope you all are doing well! ❤
