my journey to health

So I had to take a few minutes out of my day to quickly write this – this morning we had a new addition to class, her name is lisa and she is pretty awesome, she is a big woman and this was the first time she had exercised, the reason this is so awesome? To do what she did today, to come to a class where she knew no one and was out of her comfort zone takes some serious balls. I wouldn’t have done it when I first started, I started with a personal trainer on my own, there is no way I would have stepped foot in a class with others!! So huge ups to her for doing something I was way too scared to do. And she did well, she did so well, it is really hard to take that first step, to put yourself out there, to ask for help, to let people see your weaknesses. It takes massive ammounts of courage and serious determination and god bless you mike for making it okay for women like us to exercise, for making us feel comfortable, for making us stronger and empowering us.

It was very interesting watching lisa struggle today because it made me realise how far I have come, I remember what it was like to feel like she did today, to feel and be physically ill, but I forget that I was like that not that long ago and it encourages me to keep going. On a side note, I love our classes, all the women there are amazing and friendly and supportive, I love being a part of it and I love that I feel so comfortable there.

I am not sure if I have put it on here before but these are the classes I go to if you are looking for an awesome trainer and an even awesomer bunch of women, come join us
