Cakegirl - you said you were scared of the gym. I was too!! and not just a little. The first time I went for a look-see was last September and it took this long to actually go. I signed up for a 6 week class, so no big membership $$ and no commitment beyond that time. I needed that kind of small commitment... Maybe if you look into the gym near you they would have something similar? (and the place I go has private dressing areas etc which greatly reduce anxiety) You were so brave with the amusement park, maybe this is your dare to do it time :-)
Lynn, I know what you mean about the full length mirror... My belly is heading south at an alarming rate. I try to think of it like remodeling the house that it gets worse looking before it gets substantially better... but right now I have to admit my tummy is in need of some lolly columns.
LinM - that sore muscle thing does feel kind of good, doesn't it? :-)
Laura, hope you have good family reunion and look forward to hearing more from you.
Inked, I love your posts they are so colorful it's like the cheerful just jumps out! Sorry about the big-bosses visiting...just the sort of thing to get in the way of getting work done :-) Hope you survive the tedium relatively unscathed.
Learn, your pool workout is intriguing, sounds intense. Makes me want to go find a pool to jump into.
silent - that sounds like such a peaceful satisfying day, no wonder you love your life :-)
ReallyTrying - whoever commented on your hair is so right, it's gorgeous. Congrats on the -1 on the scale! and wow, serious kudos on inspiring others also.
2nd exercise class yesterday went really well. Ladies night out was different, only 3 of us which is unusual but the food was LUSCIOUS. I had rare lamb on couscous with fava beans and sun-dried tomatoes. If I had been at home I would have LICKED that plate.
Today my muscles were sore, but still walked .75 miles. yay! But now I feel like an old lady. It's 7pm and I am ready for bed :-D
My positive is that I feel good because I'm doing a good job of keeping promises that I make to myself and only asking myself to do things that I know I can do.
Hope you all have a Spectacular Saturday and a Satisfying Sunday.
