My groove was in high gear by August. I was feeling great, lost a bunch of weight, had formed a new dinner thing with my friends. it was fantastic.
I also was feeling high energy and i didn’t know what to do with myself. I was going to the gym, seeing my trainer, but I needed more.
it was one day when i was driving home, the sun was really bright, it was hot, my windows were down and i was stuck in traffic. I was at a stop light and I turned my head to the left, and I saw a sign for a free ballroom lesson. it was pure instinct, i went into the left lane and made the turn. I walked in not knowing what to expect. I asked for the free lesson, indicating that I was alone, no partner. The owner said that wasn’t a problem and that there was an instructor for the free 1/2 hour lesson. He was a nice young guy, eager. we hit it off and we danced basic dances. it was amazing. for that 1/2 hour I didn’t think about food, diet, gym, family, friends, work, anything. I just let the music overtake me and learned new dances.
I signed up then and there for the intro program. I didn’t know where I was going to get the money, but I know i would make changes in my life to make dance happen. I haven’t looked back since then. best thing I ever did. its my time away from thinking, its my time for me!
