I went to a one hour, ladies only session yesterday morning.
I can barely move today, it was a really intense session...even just the warm up did me in. Those guys are fit I tell ya!
But I loved it. Something about the combination of how difficult it was, how fit you have to be, how precise and efficient in your movements, how mentally strong you it makes you, how good the teacher was...I felt it all just come together and it ignited something inside me.
5 years ago I never, ever would have imagined I would be doing this...
5 years ago to this day, my alcoholic (now ex) husband had been gone 16 days. He left just a few days before we were to celebrate our 15 wedding anniversary. He left to be with his much younger affair partner, who became pregnant 8 or so months after. And then had another child with him shortly after the first was born.
I went from being co-dependent and barely able to believe I could walk up a hill, to losing two stone right after he left, running, climbing Ben Nevis a couple of months ago, going to the gym really regularly, starting to conquer my fear of heights, and now this latest little number.
Best compliment I've had is 'you look 20 years younger'.
If you've ever been in a relationship with an addict, you know how much stress that puts on you, mentally, emotionally and physically.
Now, if this flipping perimenopause stuff would calm down ad sort itself out...
