Ballet was ace, I loved it, you need to have a lot of control over your body to do ballet, that is something that appeals to me. I felt like a bit of a plank when I arrived as we were 35 mins early. My Dad is one of these people who likes to be 10 hours early for everything, so 35 mins early was better than normal. My Dad left me in the waiting area at the gym and he went into the city centre to wonder around shops. I was incredibly anxious and wasn't quite sure if I should ring my Dad and tell him I have changed my mind and could he come get me. Once the teacher arrived I didn't really have much of a choice, I was whisked up into the studio and before I new it I was stood in a line with all the other girls.
It is hard, as the whole wall is a huge mirror, you are meant to hold the bar and look at your body in the mirror to make sure you are standing correct etc. Me wearing tight clothes standing in front of a huge mirror is not really my idea of fun. I felt very self concious and kept wondering if everyone else was seeing what I could see in the mirror. But to be honest after a while I was trying so hard to keep up that I forgot about what I looked like.
I have signed up for the whole course, I am excited that I am going to be learning something new and it is something good for my body. So in a minute I am off to pilates, I love pilates and am glad I have started going back to that. I am also starting a zumba class on Monday evening. I am going to burn lots and lots of calories, yepee!
It's good to read that you seem to be feeling upbeat and got to see your dad :) Sending you hugs from Paris! xx
ReplyDeleteGood to have stuff to do and exercise and fun and all. But be sure to take in sufficient calories and nutrition to fuel that exercise - otherwise you won't have the energy and strength your body needs to do it.
