This isn't easy...

I feel weird posting with no picture...so I found this "staged" pict - how silly Angela!! So these past few weeks I've been branching out of my norm at the gym and trying a few classes...Would you like to hear my reviews of them? You would...? Great!
I've taken step aerobics (like riding a bike...it all comes back to you..."grapevine everyone!") Zumba - a latin dance class which made me feel extremely fat and not sexy. My girlfriends say it's addicting, which I can agree with, but I really wish the mirrored walls in the room didn't show how awful I look shaking my "money-maker" ;-)
And Kickboxing - which again was reminicent to my earlier college day when I did these classes. The major difference tho is that back then I don't think I was so hard on myself.
So this is really the point of this post- while I'm proud of myself for trying these classes and going through the motions, man it's hard to look at myself (stupid mirror) at an older age than when I did them when I was younger. Aging stinks...

Our Zumba is in the gym...then you don't have to look at yourself! That's another reason you should join the Y instead!! Hee, hee!! Way to go, on trying so many new things!!

Good for you! I hear ya, my body is so sore this week, I'm having a hard time moving. I enjoy the Y Zumba too, because there is no mirror. I don't have to watch all my shaking going on. :)

another good point about the Y- no mirrors! Thanks ladies for the encouragement!
