A groovy dance workout, a motivational lesson and coffee in the sun. I wish every morning I could motivate me to take care of me.

I started a fun new workout regime. I love my yoga but after being out of practice for the past few months I tried to be bendy and just laid on the mat and felt discouraged and sad. I’m 15 pounds heavier than when I left the workforce in May… and even then I was struggling with my weight. Cut out the 12 to 15,000 steps a day… yeah, hello extra 15 pounds.

I found a fun program that is dancing. I’m not a dancer and I’m definitely not coordinated but this is different in that you move as small or as big as you feel comfortable… no getting it wrong, no wrong forms just find the beat and move. Something I realized is I already move with music unintentionally so why not make those sways productive and add in footwork and arms. Ok, I may sound like I drank the kool-aid for one of those hideous and yet amazing aerobic videos from the 80’s and maybe I have but for now I’m up and moving and having fun.

So when we’re finally able to see eachother and go to concerts again… watchout… I’ll have moves. Lol, ok…no, probably not. But hey, stranger things have happened.

Enjoy your first cups my friends and find your own beat…
