m’s ongoing adventures with zumba

[delga]

the thing i worked out about this working-out malarkey last year is that there’s no point saying i’ll start fresh next week - i just have to go when it’s in my brain, and make myself do it. i was going to go to a pilates class this evening, but i can’t get hold of anyone at the leisure centre, and there’s no other phone numbers listed, so i decided to look at local zumba classes instead.

there’s one fairly near me tonight, at 19:15, but there’s one slightly further away at 18:30, which would be better. i want to see what both instructors are like (the 19:15 one seems to have a saturday class that i would be willing to try) but i’m also wary about booking in advance when i don’t know what somewhere is like.

so i’m kind of mad at myself about this whole thing because when i went to the states and canada last year, i managed to attend classes out there - completely random and full of strangers. admittedly one of the ones i tried to go to was a bust, but the other two went really well. if i can do it out there, i can damn well do it up the road from me.

pull yer finger out, lass.

edit: i booked the 18:15 class and paid for it. time to go!

\o/ you (and I think something about travel seems to, idk make for being able to be kinder to oneself and then more able to get out there because it's not where one usually is - though this is likely a Me Thing)

i think that's probably right, though i was also deep into my routine at the time. just got to get back to it! everything we do for ourselves has to be with kindness.
