This dude of mine was back in healthy, ornery action today, thank heavens. So off to school he went!
Which meant I made it to Barre…for my 200th class! Woohoo!
Officially, I celebrated my 100th class milestone at the end of last April and was oh so proud:
And now, technically, the next official Barre milestone isn’t until 250 classes. But, I mean, come on! 200 is a pretty awesomesauce milestone, too, and it felt worthy of a little personal celebration. :)
Over the past 200 classes, I’ve gained so much strength and stability. I’ve come to appreciate my body for what it’s capable of, instead of what it lacks. I know I’m pushing these muscles and bones to their breaking point, so any imperfections that remain (and heaven knows, there’s a lot of them) don’t faze me much at all. And that’s a lovely, accepting place to be with my 41-year-old, birthed-three-babies form. :)
But the best, best part of my ongoing Barre experience is the gaggle of amazing friends I’ve accumulated. It’s a group full of support and feistiness and encouragement, and it’s a joy to spend time with these women as we do so much for our mental and physical health.
Tomorrow, I get to attend a fellow classmate’s 1,000th class milestone, and what an achievement that is. A goal for someday, yes???
In the meantime…one squat, one plank, one push-up, one class at a time. :)
Happy Almost Friday, peeps!
Happy Almost Friday, peeps!
(It’s gonna be a fun one, with my little niece in town!)
Over and out.
