Day 5: T-G-I-F

Today is day five of a 21 day challenge that I am taking part of with GPF. I have decided that as part of this challenge I am going to blog about my goals and how my day turned out.

Day 5: Goal- don't sample the cookies when baking them for bake sale tomorrow.

Day 5 started with me hitting the snooze... for an hour. I am EXHAUSTED. after 7 short 9 minuet naps- it was off to the studio. Friday morning class is another one of my favorites {I know I say this a lot but it is}. These ladies are there to have fun and boy do we have fun. They make me smile with their joking around and their tell it like it is attitude. On Friday mornings, I can go, have fun and enjoy myself... {ok now is when I will take the time to write about why its so important to take someones class when you are an instructor}

For the past month I have been teaching 9 classes a week {yes 9} and taking 2-5 classes on top of that {crazy- maybe} and I'm kinda excited to be going down to 7 a week {even though I'm loosing two of my aqua classes}. I take classes for my sanity. For a chance to be a student. To see someone else's moves and talents. To "get my workout" in without having to think. You see when you are an instructor {at least a dance fitness instructor} you are constantly thinking {even if you have done the song 100 times} what move comes next, is everyone having a good time, is their form correct, what song is next, is the music to loud, too soft, that new song- is it going to work the way I think its going to, am I going to remember all the moves and transitions? Oh and don't forget to smile- even if you are exhausted. Taking a class is a chance for me to stand to the side. To be one of the gang. It is such a wonderful experience and I encourage anyone who does teach fitness classes to take a class from time to time.

I ended up teaching aqua today- no complaints - it's one of my favorites to teach and take. Then off to lunch with the girls {missed you A}. 
It was a rainy day and I had to make a decision... bake cookies OR nap... 2 hours later I started baking cookies. I didn't sample any {I hope they are ok} and opted to get my burpees done for today {I'm so glad that tomorrow is a day of rest from burpees} I am looking forward to it.

It's a Friday evening and because of the exciting life I lead, I am home, in my sweats and getting ready to have a quiet evening of Netflix. After a very busy week I am content to be snuggling in for the night.
