Every time I see a Groupon or Living Social or whatever type of deal nearby for interesting fitness classes, I consider it closely and then say "nah." The thinking behind the "nah" is that I struggle with committing to a routine as it is, so buying additional fitness classes is stupid. "I'll buy it and never use it," I tell myself.
Meanwhile, another friend has been begging for someone to go to a music video fitness class with her for the past month. She doesn't want to go alone. We've all been there. I haven't gone because I really feel like I have no interest in it. But I have been mulling this all over after turning down a recent good offer for krav maga sessions and this dance class, and I've decided that I'm going to stop saying no to fitness-related things. I just have to try it once. If I hate it, that's fair, but I am going to say "yes" even when I don't want to. Might as well keep things interesting!
I just emailed my friend so we can set a date to go to the dreaded music video dance class. I am not coordinated enough for this and it's in uber-hip East London, which I tend to avoid especially while wearing spandex. CARPE DIEM, amirite?!
On the flip side of the "not saying no" coin, I also don't want to turn down experiences that are, shall we say, less than healthy. I love eating dinner out. I love having drinks with friends. These things are as important for my mental health as working out. I just have to be careful not to say yes to every burger and every milkshake I come in contact with. And as always, log, log, log and pay attention to macros.
