On the Verge

What has happened to me this week that warrants my boring the rest of the world? Absolutely nothing - I went to my line dancing class (on time) and had a great time. It was actually a great work out. I found out a lot of things about my fellow line dancers. For example, the next "youngest" member of our group started a year and a half ago. Some of the others have been coming to this class for over twelve years - now I don't feel so bad when I have no idea what I am doing. I also found out that one of our group will be ninety-one this Monday (yes, I said 91 !!!) Amazing!!

I joined another class this week - water aerobics. There are five of us in this class - and yes, I am the youngest one there. But surprisingly, I am the only one who lives here. I don't know how long I will stay in this class -I might join a different class next week. This just doesn't seem to push me as much as I think I need - I don't think that this class is the right "fit" for me, but one good thing is I actually went. Maybe I will talk to the instructor Monday before class and see what he says. I might just need to give it a chance and see - I can always change in a couple of weeks if I don't see any results.

As far as the diet is concerned - well, it's going. I am watching what I eat and the portions - but so far it doesn't seem to be helping. I know that I just have to hang in there and see what happens, but it sure does get discouraging. I don't seem to be making any progress. Maybe I just need to increase the exercise part - more bike riding, walking, dancing, aerobics. Something HAS to work. Anyone have any advice - ANYONE????? I need some encouragement here because right now I don't feel like what I am doing is making any difference. ANY advice at all would be most appreciated. Hope to hear from someone, anyone, this week.
