Experiments in a Galley Kitchen: "I'm a little nervous."

This started as a way to chronicle my love of all things food - grocery shopping, cooking stores, recipes, baking, cooking and experimenting.

I found that however much I love food, there are other things that occupy my time/thoughts. Some serious - God, family, health, love and more. Other thoughts are definitely not serious - fashion, cosmetics, moisturizers, conditioner and perhaps even my search for the perfect pair of running shoes.

Why share all this with "strangers"? My husband, Mr. Potts, tells me I am a chatty Cathy something akin to a wind up doll where you pull the string and the chatting starts. He appreciates the fact that I choose to spare him (sometimes) all these random thoughts. Yet, he also benefits from my musings on food and my experiments in our kitchen.

I hope you'll enjoy my thoughts - say hello and let me know what you think!

"I'm a little nervous."

"I'm a little nervous," was my comment to Mr. Potts today when he asked about the class I'm going to tonight. I'm going to a class called Cardio Sculpt with one of my co-workers at 6:30pm. I'm nervous because I haven't been in a group exercise class since I was 18. Have I told you before that I'm clumsy? I've tripped on nothing walking down the aisle at work. I have fallen in bathtubs while traveling & torn muscles. My middle name is NOT Grace.

So, "I'm a little nervous," was a very light description of the terror I feel gripping my heart. I hope it lets up enough that I don't pass out in the class. Trip over the step, fall across the dumbbells - Possibly. Pass out from a panic attack - hopefully not!

Hopefully, I'll manage to stay on my feet, not pass out & look like this. Wish me luck!

Tina said...: I can totally relate! I am so clumsy myself. I am not brave enough to try one of those classes. I stick with yoga, at least then i'm usually not the only one falling over. Good luck tho!; February 11, 2009 at 4:09 PM
Sparkling Like A Diamond said...: Good luck to you. I am not the most agile person, but over the past two years have tried my luck at many different exercise classes. I am now more confident and really not so worried any longer. No worries, you will do fine.; February 11, 2009 at 4:53 PM
Island Girl said...: Good luck! Group classes scared me too, until last summer, when I just went for it - I mean really jumped into it - I took a zumba class :) I'm sure I looked stupid, but it was fun!

Enjoy your class!; February 11, 2009 at 5:07 PM

d.a.r. said...: Oh good luck!!! I always have a huge fear that I look like a moron. Probably because I usually do :); February 11, 2009 at 6:16 PM
Kristen said...: I went with a cowrker/friend for a year....that's what got me back into running. I don't like staying inside when it's so nice outside. I also have a stationary bike at home so between that and running...thankfully no more GYM!
My friend still goes to the gym...she loves the inside stuff and hates the outside stuff.

Good luck to you and finding what works; February 11, 2009 at 7:43 PM
