I tried something new today.

Detra invited me to try a Barre class with her. It was intense, but so much fun. I confirmed I do not know how to dance, but the room was full of delightfully uncoordinated women, so I fit right in.

I look at myself in the mirror sometimes and I really don't like what I see. Especially in the area between my boobs and my butt. I'm so big in the middle. It's not what I want.

Maybe having Detra coaxing me out of my safety zone will help me discover new and adventurous ways of trimming down. Who knows.

I have a confession to make to my spark buddy, Melissa: I did not go for a run last night. I'm terrible, I know. Here's what else I know: 1. I have never made such great progress in getting into shape as I did when I was jogging regularly. 2. My knee starts to stay in a constant state of noticeable discomfort after I've jogged for over a week. 3. I miss the liberating feeling of running. 4. I miss the empowerment of cross-training (biking, swimming, running) So I've been perusing the intarwebz for motivational media this morning.

I just have yet to find any media more inspiring to me than the following advertisements. And ... "I am addicted. I've collected footsteps before dawn. Seen places I never knew existed. Run to the moon and back. Been a rabbit for the neighborhood dogs. Obeyed the voice in my head. Let music carr...

I used to ... I want to ... I will.

By revolutionaire.
I used to write all the time. I used to ride my bicycle. I used to do better about working out. I wonder what happened. It's too late at night to really make a change now, but I'm making the vow to change tomorrow. My life will be full of bike rides and writing in no time.
