It’s a new day!

I got it! Today’s Pilates session with Heather felt very different than on Tuesday; I’m such in a better place. It’s as if today all the dots got connected. I have a better understanding of what I’m doing and I feel that I’m able to move my body with a natural flow. I was concerned that I was a slow student and that my trainer would get frustrated with me but she seems proud of my efforts and improvements. She even said that I was smart and had the right approach by wanting to take it slow and understand the movements. That comment sure gave me a big boost! We could already tell that I am getting more flexible (slowly but surely) and even stronger: I did a floor exercise that required me to lift my body sideways while lying on the floor. After just one month, it amazes me what I am capable of and how I’m losing my fears. On the way out from the class I ran into my new friend Mary Beth and she said that I must have had a great workout because I was sweating. Yes I did and that’s awesome because that means I’m burning calories!
