Exercise Epiphany

Something strange happened to me yesterday. I had made plans to go to a class with my aerobics buddy Sam (the bride-to-be) and I have to say that I have never wanted to go to aerobics less than I did last night. I reeeeally didn't want to go. I huffed and I puffed and I sulked but there was no excuse I could make to get me out of it. That isn't the strange thing though. What was strange was that once I actually started to move around a bit I found I was enjoying myself. Like, really going for it! I felt healthier than I have in ages and I was able to do the higher impact moves instead of the lower ones and I didn't need to keep stopping every five minutes for a "water" break. Now, I haven't lost that much weight ... just shy of 5% of my total body weight but I reeeeeally noticed the difference. I could actually tell that there was less wobble on my body LOL. It was quite surreal really. Just the experience I needed to really get me motivated to exercise more I think. I always feel better about myself once I've done some exercise after last night I think my hard work is really starting to pay off.
