I tried something new today...I took a Step Aerobics class! One of the things on my "100 things to do in my lifetime" list is to take a group fitness class. And I did it...and survived to tell the tale. It was hard...damn hard...alright, downright grueling....but I enjoyed it & will probably go back for more. It was an hour class & I managed to keep up for about 90% of it. Now I didn't add the fancy arm movements or shout out with enthusiasm, like the other ladies....but I am pretty proud of myself. I'll admit it...I have issues. Not just weight issues, but issues with doing something new in front of people. If I don't know how to do it, I don't want someone watching me......but I took the leap. Mind you I did not look anything like the chic in this photo.....picture something along the lines of a tomato having a heart attack....round, red & panting like hell. But I did it!
I also went to the store this morning to make print of my 'before photos' that I described yesterday. I thought, if I go in early in the morning I won't see anyone I know & these photos will remain my secret. Well, I couldn't figure out how to work the machine that prints from a digital memory stick, so I reluctantly asked for help.........The guy explains it to me & then stands looking over my shoulder while I search through the photos to get to the 2 I needed. When I realized he was going to get a good look at my secret I politiely turned around
Me: I'm sorry but....(hesitates)
Store Clerk: but what? (with a bit of attitude)
Me: Well these are kind of private....
Store Clerk: Yeah, whatever....(and he walks back behind the counter to where a female clerk was doing One Hour photo orders)
Male Store Clerk: (in a not-so-effective whisper to his coworker) I think that lady is printing porn.
If he only knew..........
