Well…as you all can see from my lack of posting last week, I did not complete my Bikram Yoga challenge. Monday and Tuesday are the only days that I was able to attend. Wednesday I had a case of the BGs (TMI…I know) and I’ve been sick with a head cold ever since then. I’m blown. At least I’m keeping my coodies to myself and not spreading them to the other yogians. That would be bad. Even though I suspect someone already passed their coodies onto me…but that’s not the point.
On a lighter note, my five year anniversary of being smoke free is this week! Friday to be exact. For the past several months I was trying to figure out how to celebrate. Should I go out and drink the night away? Maybe a nice intimate dinner? Maybe a great night of Salsa dancing? All very good things to do. I ended up choosing something a bit different and way out in left field.
Zumba anyone? Yes, that’s right! I have decided to get certified in Zumba! Way out in left field, right? Well, maybe not. I already do dance Salsa. Before my very annoying injury, I was assisting the current instructors when they needed me. This is a way to diversify my skills and get in even more shape. Brilliant!
Training will be held in Dover, DE. That’s about a two hour hike across the bay. It’s an all day event so I will be making the most of it. Not a bad way to spend my five year milestone. I’ll still have time to celebrate in the evening hours. Getting my certification is my present/reward for myself and is enough to satisfy me. No elaborate anything required. That is all I need that day to make me happy. How simple am I? Group exercise certification is sure to follow in the coming months. If I go that route I will definitely keep you posted.
In the meantime, I need to get over this freaking cold! Today was the worst. No energy. I could hardly move. Not cool. I have my fluids. I have my Halls Triple Action. I have my NyQuil. Operation Get Well With A Vengeance is ON! Lol.
Any milestones that you are celebrating?
