So what is all of this health stuff for? What is all of this exercise for? Inspired by my Momalah learning a hobby and some lady on an Oprah rerun, I now have a goal that will give me some direction. I'll give you a hint...
Please excuse the aerobic exercise musak and the commentator..."Look at the position in that camel...that's good."
Debi Thomas was a favorite in my family - I remember my Mom and especially my Aunt Corrine rooting for her during the 1988 Olympics. This is when I became a fan of figure skating. All of this time I thought that I had missed the boat. I thought one needed to be training at five years old in order to do this, and then I saw the lady on Oprah who began figure skating in her 40s or 50s in order to lose weight and get healthy.
Well, cheers to that!
I have decided to begin adult figure skating lessons in March or May (depending upon financial budget)! Triple Axl, here I come! Okay, perhaps one needs to learn how to skate first...but I am extremely excited and feel that the exercising that I'm doing now is going to contribute to getting me ready for this learning experience. Thank goodness I love everything about falling too! I'm sure I will get quite a few time-outs due to my laugh attacks...hopefully I will learn to contain it a bit, but then again, if I haven't learned how to do that for the past thirty years, how the hell am I going to learn how to do that now?...Perhaps, I will fashion some sort of mask and gag so they cannot hear or see my face contorting into hysterics.
Until then, my exercise will have a new meaning as it prepares me for the skating lessons...you know, so that way I don't break an arm or leg in the first week...if this happens in the third week or after a month, I will feel quite accomplished indeed! lol
...please knock on wood... :)
