All it takes is one day

For me to feel SO much better. Yesterday was a complete success!

I had core class last night, and one of the stations involved standing on an UPSIDE DOWN bosu ball, which may sound easy and even looked easy until I tried to do it myself. It obviously involves complete and utter balance and using your core to keep yourself up. But what I didn't expect was the shaking. My legs were shaking so fast and so much (I honestly wish I could do that on command, I'd be a dancing freak!) and it felt completely out of my control. Like I couldn't get them to be still no matter how I tried. I kept asking the trainer if it was normal, and tried to describe the feeling. She said it's totally normal - and the next time it wouldn't be the same at all. True enough, next time around, my legs weren't shaking at all and I was even successful at doing squats!

Another day ahead of me and I feel nothing but strength. Full steam ahead!

Update: Amy, you would kick the bosu in the butt! It's awesome. Java, I would totally recommend it, much better than an exercise ball. There are sample exercises all over the net. Fatinah - good frigging job doing something other than just STANDING on the ball, that's a feat in itself!

For the next 34 weeks I WILL exercise every day, at least some form of movement. Today? I chose a 60 minute powerwalk (can't deal with sweaty head) on my lunch hour. I may look into signing up to the gym at my work for the cold winter months, when going to Goodlife after Carson goes to bed is probably the last thing I want to do. And then my daily showers will just be at lunch time during the day. I really enjoy exercising at lunch, I feel I come back to my desk with energy and ready to tackle the afternoon. Plus, then I don't have to think about it once I get home.
