I did it! I drank lots of water and I survived the entire zumba class! I accomplished my goals for today! Maybe you are thinking, "Yeah, so what? Anybody can stick to something for a day." While this is true, I am going to do it again on Saturday (the zumba class that is). The water will be done again tomorrow, along with some walking around the lake.
It's hard to explain how it feels to have done an entire exercise class after being pretty immobile for such a long time. My leg, while a bit sore now, was fine during the class. For moves that required me to stand on one leg, I just held onto the bar for some stability on that side. Now, did I look good? Heck no! If there had been a moment where I could have taken my eyes off of the instructor, to actually look at myself, there would have been laughter. However, that moment rarely happened as zumba really requires that you watch to see what is going on. You can't look at the people near you and usually can't take the time to look at yourself until you really get the routines down. By that time, the instructor goes and changes them, so you are good to continue not noticing how blatantly uncoordinated you look. LOVE IT! I know I was wiggly and jiggly, but in time that will change. For now, I am just grateful to be able to move around and start to feel alive again.
