A Week of Lessons!

I have been without internet all week and it has been driving me crazy!! I took my computer to school to do a slide show for the kids and parents and when I brought it back my modem wouldn't work! Now I have a new modem and I'm back online.

I'm proud to say that I was going strong all week. I ran for the third time on Wednesday and I fully expected to get in the four workouts. Then on Friday we had a field day and I forgot to bring sunscreen. (I know, how long will it take me to figure out that I'm pale!) So since I got home from school on Friday I have been laying around trying not to touch my skin! You should see me...I have a line where my whistle strap was!

So much to tell about this week! Finally, a week ago I actually danced on stage at a dance recital. When I first met Randy I told him that I always wished I could have stayed in dance as a kid and taken ballet. The first Christmas we were together he bought me a necklace with a ballerina charm on it. This year I finally decided to stop wishing and just take a class. I had no intention of performing, just learning. BUT when everyone else in the adult class wanted to perform, I couldn't say no. I have never been so nervous, my upper lip was actually shaking on stage. I think it was all the stage mom's behind the curtain staring at us like we were crazy. I'm glad that Randy, Jennifer, Melody and the girls came because it was nice to have people there to support me. Looking back, I'm glad I did it. I can say that I actually followed my wishes, instead of letting embarrassment stop me.

How does this relate to weight loss? I guess I feel like it's opened something new in my life. I'm trying to be healthier for me, instead of because of what others think. I'm trying to follow my heart and be a little more fearless. I really don't ever want to perform again, but I love taking the classes and I'm going to continue with that, just for me and no one else.
