And guys…I didn’t spontaneously combust. We went to the gym last night. After paying for a membership for several months and going less than once a month. We went back.
And I took a chance on zumba.
And despite the fact that I am in TERRIBLE shape.
Despite the fact that I have 2 bad ankles, 2 bad knees and 2 bad hip flexors.
Despite the fact that I was the chubbiest girl in the room.
Despite the fact that I could BARELY keep up with the skinny bitches.
I lasted the entire 60 minute class. And lived to consider going back.
Once I stopped staring at my stomach in the mirror and watching myself bounce around like a bowl of jello going on a joyride…I kind of caught on. And caught myself…Smiling. Exhausted. But smiling. It felt good!
(BTW, I hate it when I use my best line in the title. But I’m too lazy to change it and put something else up there. I feel like I let you guys down. Wait. I can make it up to you. Keep reading).
I did all of this crazy zumba-ing while injured! So on Wednesday when we were getting off the train, I slipped on the metal stair. The doors were still closed, the train was still moving, and if I hadn’t been holding on to the pole/railing/bar thingy for dear life, I would have fallen into the door, which would have opened, and I would have fallen out of a moving train to my klutzy death. But I WAS holding on, so none of that nonsense happened. Except that in holding on, I pulled every muscle from my wrist to my neck trying to rescue myself from a very embarrassing death.
Brian’s reaction?
Or should I call it, Brian’s lack of reaction?
“Did you hurt your ankle?”
“No”
“OK, good.”
He’s immune to my klutzy. I suppose that’s only natural when the word “ow!” comes out of my mouth more than any other single word.
