Meet Me @ the Barre!

[Disneyphile]

Last night was the last for this semester.

I must proudly state: THE FAT CHICK PREVAILED!!!

I was one of the only three newbies to not drop the class over the last few weeks. There were 8 of us left, 5 of them being repeats from the last 2-3 semesters.

There were times when I wanted to throw in the towel... learning the limitations and impact that being fat can have on my body, while watching everyone around me not have the same struggles (like being able to stretch their legs high because they don't have large stomachs in the way). There were times that I would stress and cry because I thought I would never make it.

And, I stuck it out, even with my limited range of motion. And, my instructor congratulated me last night, and even noted how I've developed some excellent technique and have come a very long way since the first day.

So, yeah.... FAT CHICK PREVAILED!!!

Ken will be taking ballroom with me over the summer, which also includes swing and salsa. Should be fun!

For the fall, I'm cutting back to part-time status, because I only have one design class left that is at my level. So, I'm going to take jazz and ballet, yoga, and a women's fitness course. And, I'm excited about all of it too.
