As my longtime readers and friends know, I lost close to 30 lbs in 2010…kept it off in 2011, minus a few pesky pounds that crept back on over the holiday season. I am hoping those will be gone soon because for most of the 12 days of 2012…I have been a fitness FREAK!
For most of my adult life, I’ve enjoyed physical activity….but I often had to let it drop in favor of other things, such as school and work. Right now though I am working a job with terrific hours that does not eat up all of my day, so I am finding that I have more time for fun fitness related things.
I have discovered two new fun things this year…zumba! And….pole fitness! I am not terribly good at either, but I have had a blast so far. I have only attended one pole fitness class so far, but I did enjoy it. However, I am wondering if my money might be better spent on a home version. I enjoyed the class, but I felt that I might perform better without having so many other people around…I am sort of a solitary performer until I am absolutely 100% proof positive that I am FABULOUS at something…which is probably a hang up that I need to get over. I started running in 2011 and preferred to run by myself at odd hours until I got to the point where I could run a decent amount of time, and then started running with friends. So maybe the class is good for me after all…maybe I need to overcome that particular hangup in 2012.
I also want to take a few classes in bellydancing and yoga…both things that I have dabbled in before, but have never gotten very serious about. I have practiced yoga on my own for a few years, but I would love to get REALLY good at it.
So…lots of fun things to look forward to in 2012! Hopefully this time in 2013 I’ll be writing about how awesome it was to get so in shape!
