DTR - It's Worth It

Oh how I missed you.  I'd like to restart a relationship with you again, Zumba.  How about a DTR?  I was thinking today that I really need to define the relationship that I have with my health, not just my love for the Latin-inspired dance class.  My health has been moderately important - my brain knew what to do, eat healthy and workout, but my actions were based on how I was feeling that day.  This is changing in me.  I've been working out despite the early mornings, the cold, the rain, the snow, my lack of sleep...the list is embarrassingly long.  My health has now become a top priority.  And it's worth it.  

Before:  I would have the worse excuses, including that I didn't have someone to exercise with.  If a friend canceled then I wasn't motivated to always go.  

Now:  A friend cancelled going to zumba with me and for a sec there I debated in my head if I should go. Then I said "Self.  You go.  It's your health".  Plus, I really missed dancing - the freedom it gives me to feel sexy.  Yes I just said that word.  It's true.  I could never move my hips before learning zumba.  The connection I have with zumba goes back to my days of feeling so blah about my body.  And Christians dancing so provocatively?  It gave me a boast in my self-image, it helped me to be confident in who I am right now not the future.  To love my body and love myself.  

So, Zumba, I won't forget what you allowed me to be.  A woman who learned to love.  

I do have to admit though that I've had to move on...it's not you.  It's me.  My left knee can't handle you all the time.  Can we still be friends?  Hang out on occasion?
