It never ceases to amaze me how many people are willing to workout on Sunday mornings in Zumba & Piloxing. It's truly impressive & inspiring.
When asked if I was interested in adding a 30-minute strength class at 8:30am, I thought it made sense to try it out. I figured a couple people might show up?
I was totally wrong. More than a couple people showed up for the first class. Which just goes to show that not everyone is tired or hungover on Sunday mornings. And even if they happen to be either of those... exercise actually DOES give you more energy & we are surely sweating out all the toxins we might have too, just sayin'.
Also... you know you might have issues when you cut your chin with your thumbnail while dancing. Currently hoping it doesn't leave a scar. (insert eye roll)
Does anyone else get injured in class with stupid stuff like that? Happens to me more often than I care to admit, but usually it's my hands or fingers bleeding or bruised from my obnoxious clapping. I've learned to not wear rings or any kind of bracelet that might cause harm.
Maybe I should wear gloves? And possibly a mask.
Anyhoo... this will be short week & then we're headed for our 2nd of 3 road trips with Bryn's volleyball team. Last month was Franklin, TN and this weekend will be Columbus, OH... a state I've not yet visited. Although when it's a volleyball trip, all we're really going to see is a court & lots of games. So in all likelihood there will be no touring the city other than to look for food.
In addition to not being a huge fan of "bleacher butt," I'm also not a huge fan of driving on long road trips. I prefer to fly. And Ohio isn't exactly close.
This princess quality I have probably stems from years of driving everywhere with 3 sisters seated closely to each other in the backseat, concerned with who's crossing the imaginary lines & not staying in their allotted space.
"I'm hungry. She's leaning on me. When are we going to be there?"
The good news is... Bryn can drive too. The bad news is... we'll likely have rain & possibly snow, so I'd rather she not.
And as for the other complaints above... I do hear I'm hungry regularly. She also doesn't care for my purse leaning on her arm & I don't care for her gigantic blanket crossing over onto the counsel while I'm driving. In fact at one point on our last road trip we started shoving the blanket back & forth so many times when we stopped for gas that we were laughing uncontrollably.
I'm laughing again just thinking about it. I'm not sure who's in charge anymore, but I'm beginning to think we need a personal assistant to keep us in line.
And drive for that matter.
My parents did take us on many trips when we were younger though. And I know now as an adult how expensive it would've been to fly 5 people everywhere we went. I'm VERY grateful they instilled a love for travel with us and took us to experience many places, even if it wasn't always the most comfortable mode of transportation. There were always laughs along the way for sure, many stories of which we still reminisce!
I'm also going to miss our team meeting where they'll be making vision boards. I regularly use Pinterest to stay inspired in lieu of having an actual vision board, but IF I was going to be there & make one, it would most certainly look something like this...
I don't know who made that but she might be my soul sister. Like I've seriously probably pinned all those things separately at one time or another.
How about you? Have you ever made a vision board? It's a great way to keep positive images, inspiring words & future goals in daily sight.
And I hope your week is just that... positive & inspiring!
Happy Monday!
XOXO
