taking pride in myself (something I never do)
Saturday, April 10, 2010
For months I have been disapointed that I have not lost any more weight. I measure myself and have not lost on inch. I go to the gym every day, take classes, go on the eliptical, do weights, why not.
I realize I am 59 years old, back surgery, years of bad eating habits and lack of exercise. This is a life change for me, not just for awhile.
And then........
After my pilates class, my instructor came over to me, put her hand on my shoulder and said, " Diane, you are becoming very strong and have great form, keep up the good work."
Needless to say, I have been feeling so good about myself (this instructor is alway correction us on form)
I find myself walking a bit taller this week and feeling stronger. I am so glad I did not give up on myself, just do my best and not give up with my exercising that eventually I would get stronger. there are still days, the body just won't move that way, so I would motify the exercise.
