Exercise me?

Jul 26, 2012

I have been trying very hard to exercise in whatever way I can. Walking while son at football. Pushups at work. Recently I have been attending 5:30 am aerobics, yes 5:30am. I have tried this a couple of times in my life but it never felt right. Too early. too tired, whatever excuse.
Last night I bought a pair of exercise capris in size XL without trying them on, usually an unsucessful move. I hesitantly tried them on when I got home. They fit. They were snug and I was sure they looked horrible so I didn't look. 
I attended my 5:30 class this morning and was in the front row........smack in front of the mirror.  I was wearing my new capris and what I saw in the mirror was looking OK. I was not spilling over the top and sides like I thought. I looked good. Athletic.
Early this morning I made it all the way through my Step calss. I was looking good.I was feeling good and "right". I'm recognizing my hard work is paying off. My pants fit. Who was that woman in the mirror? I couldn't stare at myself for too long in a full class, but I wanted to. I'm ready to keep progressing and find out what it feels like to be athletic and a functional body size. I like whats happening and me. Today was a good day.
