Okay....so some of you know that I returned to ballet after several decades (and about 40 pounds gained). It was really fun and challenging at the barre - scary and nerve wracking on the floor. After about a month and a half of going to class fairly regularly, and feeling like I was starting to get the feeling back of how to move and stand and be - two things happened:
1. My brand new marriage fell into utter chaos and anxiety.
2. I went for it too hard and tweaked my left hip. :-(
So - why am I typing so excitedly this morning? Because both things are now fixed and/or better! My husband and I are separated, my hip feels better than before, AND I have lost 21 pounds since I stopped going to class!
I will be going back at least twice a week starting next week, leaner in body and clearer in mind. Back to the barre.......the second go around!
Instead of feeling like a failure - I am excited that I am getting up and trying again.
