patience is definitely a virtue that i'm lacking in (i want instant gratification!). i'm thrilled that my body is responding, but i'm wishing it was responding more quickly. it has only been 6 weeks but i wish that i had lost more than just water weight. that's what i'm guessing i've lost, anyway.
since my energy has increased some i've begun exercising more frequently. i'm using an inflatable workout ball to do squats and crunches, and arm bands for arm exercises. in fear of looking like "helga" i'm doing low reps and keeping it to every other day. i hope to tone and slim rather than bulk up. i've also been shaking it to nintendo wii's "just dance 2" which has been working up a good sweat. i'm looking into joining the local parks & rec athletics center to utilize their lap pool. i love to swim so that would be a great way to exercise and relax at the same time.
the parks & rec also offers dance classes so i have signed up for their summer swing dance series which will explore both east and west coast swing. i've ordered my mary jane dancing shoes and white cuff socks in preparation for the lindy hop.
i can't wait -- bring on the big band!
i've got it -- the evil polycystic ovarian syndrome (pcos). after years of misdiagnosis while watching my body and spirit change into a paling version of the real me i am determined to take back control of my whole self. this is my journey...
