We all work so hard to lose weight, and get so intent on the struggle that we forget to laugh sometimes. And if we can’t laugh at ourselves who can we laugh at? Soooo….I thought it might be fun to share some of our more “interesting” exercise stories. Here’s one that some of you may remember from a few years ago, but I think is new to most.
My favorite story happened a few years ago when I had a YMCA membership. I had begun taking step aerobics to lose weight and was feeling self conscious because I was (of course) the biggest person in the class. Also, I’m not the most graceful person in the world by far, so the fine dynamics of step, kick, cross, kick were a little foreign to me. Anyway, about the middle of class I was doing okay and feeling rather proud of myself. “Look at me go”, I thought. Well, about that time I stepped wrong, causing me to fall backward on my south end and the step to FLY up and right into the back of the head of the woman in front of me. Luckily, it didn’t hit her very hard. She had more of a shocked expression when she turned around and found me lying on a heap on the floor. What could I do? I looked up at her with a stupid grin on my face and said “Duck!”
Coming next week – the adventure of Bonnieangel, Tae Bo and the potted plant!
Hugs!
