I NEED a pick me UP!!!

     Good afternoon, Fam...  For the last month or so, I have been so out of sync with my exercise regimen.  As much as I wanted to get up and move, was as much as I didn't want to get up and move...  Anybody else out there who has felt like that???  I tried pushing myself, but it just didn't work.  Now,  I have bad knees that hurt like hell when I exercise sometimes and a hip that does what it wants, but for the most part, my lack of WANTING to exercise was more mental than anything.

      So, I had to dig deep and try to figure out what the heck was going on.  I needed a pick me up.  When I thought about it, I realized that I was BLESSED, but yes,  I was STRESSED!!!  I started a new part-time job, I am in the mode of making a major purchase in my life that would affect me financially, and I have been trying to figure out how to plan a wedding for 2 people who have BIG families and TOO many friends without spending all the money we have in the bank...  Call it what you want, but all that added up is nothing but STRESS...

     I paid for and tried a couple of new exercise regimens and classes but they just didn't work for me.  Not that they were not good or appropriate, I just wasn't "feeling" them.    No excuses, it wasn't what I wanted to do...  The one thing I do like to do is dance.  No, I am not the best dancer in the world,  I just like what I like...  Anywho,  I bought a discounted pass from Temple Warrior Fitness.  They offer Zumba, Zumba toning, Pilates, Yoga, and Gospel Gut and Glutes classes.  Not only that, the ladies and gentlemen that attend the various classes and the Family that runs the operation all make you feel welcome...  So, I am doing what I have suggested to you in several of my previous Blog posts--what I like...Yes, find your niche and go with it.  Get up off the dang couch and get to MOVIN'!!!  Put down the tv remote and get some exercise going in your life!

    On Friday, November 2nd, Temple Warrior Fitness celebrated their 2nd anniversary.  OMG (oh my God), we had a 90 minute Zumba session, food, and a great time... Here are a few pix from that celebration and a link from the ccityblogger who made an AWESOME video of the celebration.  Maybe now you can see why I LOVE it so much...  SMOOCHES...
