Mood: Motivated
FOODIE: Perfect Saturday ahead! Cardio Dance, coffee, a run with Nikhil at noon, and "Breakfast for Supper" Date Night! (I'm wearing a dress for Nikhil.)
FUN: Absolutely loving Photo Compositing! Thank you, PHLEARN and Aaron Nace!

FITNESS:
I started the morning out right with (part of) Cardio Dance. I'm sure the instructor will be happy to be back at the YMCA for in-person classes. She is making the best of the COVID-19 situation and streaming her classes from her garage.
What are my real reasons for exercising and now running?

What are my real reasons for exercising and now running?
- SOCIAL! I'm enjoying working out with my cute boyfriend and seeing us happy and feeling good after our runs! I enjoy feeling a part of the groups at the YMCA and getting to know the instructors; making friendships with fellow Y members. Yoga would be good for me but still doesn't excite me that much.
- It helps combat anxiety and depression. My heart and mind feel so FREE when I run!
- Staying in shape. I feel more confident in dresses, tights, and jeans.
- More energized (for my energetic boyfriend)
Thank you, again, Nikhil for this article on Proper Running Form.

What I Need to Work On: I'm holding myself accountable here. I am exercising to maintain a healthier lifestyle, but I still snack on chips and sweets more than I should. Telling myself that "I'll just go for a run later" isn't helping me with goals. It makes me wonder if I am even trying to lose weight anymore? The only physical goal I have presently is wanting to have toned runner's thighs!
I don't have long-term goals for exercise, yet. I've been running and going to classes for the reasons mentioned, but GOALS are great to have, too! What I see happening is me going to YMCA classes to cross-train for runs now. (Thank you, Nikhil!) So, classes that were at one time a lot harder for me are now going to be warm-ups for running.

This photo is from the first run I ever did. Medieval Rush was fun, because it meant getting muddy. It was a hot day, too.
