Dancing my heart out. Fun in the Sun. Can you show me those steps one more time, okay maybe again. Would you like stand in front and do those steps. Hey how does the next class know what to do?
I am not a dancer. Watching K and J practice when I came in left me in awe. How did they do that? Clipping along like nobodies business. It was very cool to see. J actually had the steps and rhythm down. I feel like a big galumph. Back in school when I was this big huge girl next to these little petites kind of feeling again. Kind of like that. They may be slow but they are in time and I am CLUNK CLUNK. I think the instructor has given up on me. But I am still having fun.
Practicing at home I have two wanna be dancers trying it with me. As I clunk away Big T goes for my ankle, Little T dances and spins with each of my clunks. We are having fun.
Back to school. Funny, I always felt big huge fat compared to my friends. When I was growing up it didn't matter how tall you were, you were suppose to weigh 120 pounds. I think I was 120 in 3rd grade. I have never seen that weight again, and I probably won't until I am rotting in my grave. But what I would give to weigh my high school weight.
My swim coach told me maintaining weight is 80/20 (80% diet 20% exercise). I think that was her gentle way of telling me I had to keep watching the calories. Yes I know this. I also know that it is hard to keep it off without the exercise. Though it seems inconsequential, exercise has a big impact on me and my weight. I couldn't just diet. But I don't think I could just dance either. At least it isn't hula.
Anyway Today is weigh in. I have 9 pounds to lose to meet my product weight loss goal, it is possible it might be 12, but I will be happy with 9.

I think that your swim coach is right (I exercised all through my last weight gain). I seriously doubt that you are as bad and clunky as you say you are in tap. I think you have a filter on your abilities that warps reality to the negative side. I always perceived you as quite competent in everything you did.
ReplyDeleteYou are definitely not as "bad and clunky" as you seem to think - you walked in as I finally got the 'routine' down (or sort of down)....arrive earlier ;) and you will see...not so coordinated, but having a heck of a lot of fun (until the music starts!). See you Tuesday Dancing Queen!
ReplyDeleteI want to see Big T & Little T and T3 tap, spin & bite. It'll be a feature production. J is right - T3 is actually quite coordinated & graceful albeit not a great singer (hah hah). Tap dance, swim, personal trainer, dog walk & then bike - that's AWESOME
