Why am I embarassed/shy about exercise?

[Rajah]

Yes it did! Though I was wiped out for the rest of the evening. LOL!

Unfortunately, I won't be able to go tonight. I don't get off tonight until class actually starts and I don't want to be late. So, what I'm thinking is I'll use tonight to other benefit -- go shopping for some better exercise clothes (the best I have are jeans, and those did not work too well), maybe a mat, and see if I can find a tai chi video at either the library (Thanks for the suggestion!!) or Blockbuster if the library doesn't have one. Then when I get home tonight I can see if Tai Chi is something I want to do as well, and at very least satisfy my curiosity. That way I still get some exercise (just in the form of shopping and maybe Tai Chi) and get some things I need if I'm going to keep this up, but don't have to try and figure out how to slip out of the office 15 minutes early (which would be bad since I'd like to go to class tomorrow again) or show up late to class.

Does that sound reasonable, or am I just making excuses again?

(Oh, and I'm not even half as sore as I expected to be today! )

You're doing great! You've got a plan that includes going back and trying out other things. You got over the initial hump!! Great job! I'm proud of you!

Now I've just got to keep from slipping back. I *almost* lost my motivation this afternoon. I was *so* tired for about an hour and a half, maybe even 2 hours that I was toying with just going home and taking a nap instead of going shopping. Thankfully I'm starting to get my second wind now so maybe I can still make it.

Thanks for the support.

Hey sweetie, while you are looking for a tai chi tape, why don't you grab a walk away the pounds too, just the one mile. That way you can do that when you can't get to yoga class.

Just a thought

Kath -- if they have it, I'll grab it.
