Catch 22…
So! This past week has been nice and slow at work. A female from my unit informed me of a country dance night on Mondays… My fiancé has always refused to dance… but with some pleading and such, and reminding him that we HAVE to dance at our wedding, he finally agreed. Usually he works nights but he had the past two Mondays off and he’s started going with me (2 in a row, what a feat!).
The first night, he started off and WOW was THAT entertaining… but with a little practice he showed massive improvement. On week 2, he came out of nowhere and decided to learn how to spin me. With the help of an experienced male dancer, he was able to learn how to spin me, and managed to look good doing it! I was really proud! Along with that, I have been going to Latin dance night on Fridays and been taking Latin dance lessons. I’ve been considering that medium cardio and legs of those two days… (I guess it could count!)
I have been really (surprisingly) good about going to the gym FIVE times a week (sometimes twice a day!!). Very exciting! I am seeing change in my stomach and the way my pants fit. I am trying very hard to max my sit ups and run on my pt test in early April, but it’s going to be close.
**A and I had a little tiff last week. I think a lot of it rode on the stress level around here. We are doing well now. She is down like 30 pounds now. This leaves her only 8ish pounds more than me.,. I am finding it really hard to stay positive about that, but am keeping that on the inside. I am having a personal debate with some of the ways she is losing the weight, but all I can do as her leader is continue to promote the “RIGHT” way to eat and exercise. I am excited in the sense of accomplishment she is feeling and the progress I see in her body, though. I can only continue to support her and motivate myself to keep up.
Trying to find the right way for myself,
