It's been quite some time since I posted on this blog, but believe me, it's not because I haven't wanted to, it's because things have been mucho crazy and as usual the things I want to do seem to always fall to the bottom of the list. I've always been that way, how about you?
I'm so happy and excited because I've taken what I see as the first step in no longer putting myself last. I've joined the YMCA and am elated to be sharing this news. Why, you might ask? Well, (here goes, wait for it), it's because I always felt guilty about spending money on myself! OK, so there, I've said it! Like so many of you, I did not feel worthy. But, hey, I did it this time and that's why I'm so giddy.
I joined the Y on Monday and have only taken one class so far - Core Conditioning, on Wednesday. Believe me, I am feeling it today. I hurt in parts I didn't even know I had. I also signed up for three sessions with a personal trainer which cost even more money. Have I lost my mind? The best part of this is that it's prompted me to do other things that are for ME. One, I'm eating better - less junk, more nutrition, smaller portions. Two, I went for a walk today which is something I always want to do, but always find excuses not to do, and three, I told a friend "no" when she made a request that went against a decision that I had already made for myself. Gosh, this just might become contagious. I feel like I'm stepping out of my comfort zone and I love the feeling of adventure that comes with this new-found freedom. I hope it lasts because it feels liberating, and right, and necessary in order for me to grow and change. Wish me luck!
