Rockin' Journey

I've been going through a challenging time lately and have had a hard time being consistent with my exercise.  Add in that I've been diagnosed with a double hernia and I've been confused about how to exercise.  I was doing a TurboFire rotation (which I did not keep up) and subbed a Shaun T Hip Hop Abs cardio for one of the workouts.  Man.  I hadn't felt that happy in a while.  And then I saw two videos of Shaun T dancing:  one to Single Ladies and another that was his entrance at the BB Coach Summit.  I couldn't stop smiling.

I'm not the greatest dancer but I love the way my body feels when it moves.  I did Zumba a while ago and enjoyed it so much. I never thought I would take a live class BUT THEN I got too much in my head.  I glanced at myself in the mirror at class and realized that my actual movement didn't match what I thought I was doing in my head.  And so, I started to feel self-conscious and what had been a soul thrilling workout for me started to lose its luster.  I did the workouts at home, but it wasn't the same.

Now I realize that everything starts in your head.  "As a man thinketh...."  I should have held onto the image in my head until the outside caught up.  That is true with everything.  Weight loss, relationships, success.  It all starts with the vision in your head and you hold it dear until the rest of the world catches up. 

So, now I am on Day 2 of Rockin' Body.  I finished Disco Groove at 35 minutes and at one point during the workout I actually thought, "Hey, where did the time go?"

Shaun T is so inspirational and when he said "Live!" my body screamed "Yes!"

I plan to finish the rotation and LIVE!!!!  I am going to enjoy the moment, the movement, and let the dancer inside my head shimmy to her heart's content.
