I feel AMAZING!
My body wants to move, and I love obliging. Before nursing school, before I gained 50 lbs. in 2 years, I loved to dance. I danced all the time! When those pounds started creeping on, and school-related stress left me exhausted, it didn't feel good to dance anymore. Now, I haven't lost much weight, but it's finally starting to feel good to dance again. I think it's all the encouragement and motivation from the YouTube community. More people are watching now, and that really pushes me to do better. I'm regaining my passion for things, it's incredible. I'm learning to love life, just as it is.
Inspired by the H4H theme this week (exercise), I got up and moved my butt. As you may recall, I did not workout at all last week. I put on a song I've been loving lately (G-Get Up and Dance by Faber Drive) and I lifted weights, jumped around, danced, and just moved every part of my body. I took little snippets of it and made a video. I felt so stupid putting that video up there, but I was really driven to somehow share the wonderful energy I had with everyone.
I'm not a good dancer, at all, but when I drop the weight I want to learn how to dance like the cool kids on So You Think You Can Dance. :D
What are you passionate about?
