Hmmmm....a new Goal, perhaps??

I am officially a 24 Hour Fitness member. I have been to the gym 3 times now, taking my beloved Body Pump classes. Now, they are not the same. How could they be?? The instructors are nowhere NEAR the caliber that I am used to. I see now that Alex, Kimi, Amy, Willi and Jozi are a breed of their own. Or maybe not, and these instructors are the exception. Either way, I am happy to be "fluent" enough in BP to hold my own in class - I know what weights to choose, I know the form, the directions. So even if Rosa is monotone, and her music is not nearly loud enough for my taste, or that there is no ENERGY in the room, I am happy to be doing what I love, and that is taking the class that helped transform my body. I thought it was that she was new, but she is not. She has taught in PA at the YMCA.The Saturday instructor is better, Kristin, she is louder, has more energy, and keeps you going. So all is not lost.

I went into Crunch last week and there was a sub for the weights class. HORRIBLE. Yes, I was incredibly sore for the next 4 days but it's because I know my weights. She was a terrible instructor. So even though I saw the old gang, or most of them, for some weird reason I felt like I did not fit in. It was nice to be welcomed back by them, since I haven't seen them but twice in the last 3 months, but I felt out of place. Like I have moved on.

So I did. I walked into 24 hour and saw Debbie, from the old gym. Nice to see her. Tonight, Jeniffer came and signed up. It's coming together. But while it was nice to see familiar faces, I am okay with a new crowd, a new gym, a new challenge. Now if I could get better instructors :)

I have a new goal brewing in my mind....the funny thing is that Franklin suggested it and it is something I have been thinking about for a very long time. The last week has caused this thought to come foremost in my mind. I cannot say what it is because in my mind, I still don't think I can do it, it seems unattainable. I also cannot mention it to my fitness friends because of the risk of ....I don't know. I just have to turn it around in my mind and get to a level in my own fitness that would make me more confident to possibly even entertain this idea.  I still have a long way to go. Maybe it's the in between now that is making me mull this over.....the race is over, I have no real concrete goal planned. Maybe I just need to commit to something to keep me motivated. I just wish I had the confidence to commit to this particular thing.

For now, I will savor the goal in my head...turn it over and over.....dream a little dream......maybe create a new dream board to help things along.

And off to bed. Can't seem to get my ass out of bed on time and going to bed this late isn't helping. *SIGH*
