My new goal: BALLET!

I was writing a msg to a friend about my exercise goals this summer and somehow I got talking about the ballet class I was going to take. I suddenly came to the realization that:
 LIFE PUTS SO MANY LIMITS ON YOU ALREADY, WHY PUT LIMITS ON YOURSELF?
My entire life I have doubtly my intelligence and my beauty, my ability to perform...no longer. In highschool I would never try out for a solo in plays or in choir because I, ME only ME, thought I wasn't good enough. Today I have had many solos and play solo with my guitar and sing at bars all the time and get tons of applause. I never fathomed that I would be in a band, let alone be the lead singer...and now it's like "been there, done that". So many things that I thought I couldn't do and only I was standing in my way, no one else. I am so sick and tired of standing in the way of my own dreams.

So NO MORE! I finally decided, this summer I am going to take ballet lessons through my university. I always said, I don't have the right body type, I'll be the fat one in the class, they'll stare at me cause I'm not perfect, I'll be the oldest one there. Well you know what, who the fuck cares. I'm not letting those things stop me anymore. And this is just the beginning. I have decided I want to pursue ballet year round and eventually get good enough to get into pointe shoes! It may take 10years but I really want this so I am going to work for it.

I've been looking up dance studios and I've found one I really like that is all ages friendly and that doesn't compete because they want to focus on being good dancers first. I liek thier philosophy and I think I will be comfortable there. In order to prepare for registration and to start in September, my three summer goals are:

1. save money
2. make healthy exercise and diet my job (increase strength, endurance, flexibility, and decrease weight)
3. register on time

I feel very motivated and excited. Now for the hard work.
