I have been working out with a personal trainer for a couple of weeks now. I am feeling really good about it. She is extremely encouraging and supportive. My husband is being supportive and has said that he thinks it's working for me.
I feel much less stressed at work, despite being frustrated by things beyond my control (lack of forward momentum, etc). I look forward to each class now. I make it a point to start my shut down process at work at least 5 minutes early so that I can get out to the door and head for home. I want to have time to get home, get changed and be ready to workout.
Tonight was a belly dance session. We danced to some Spanish music. It's very uptempo and fun. She was showing me some moves that involved raising a hip and lowering it with a "pop". That was interesting. I have to get it cemented in my head for next class. Hip shimmies are fun too. I haven't danced in many years. I am completely loving the class! It's well worth it to me to keep taking class. I have more energy and feel awesome!!
