Nerves

It feels like things are gaining speed. Fit Club was smaller this week, me and four other people, but that's okay. I think numbers will wax and wane depending on people's schedules. One person was traveling for work, another needed that night at home, one had tutoring, two had a meeting, another needed to stay with the kids because her husband had a meeting, and a few had plans because it was St. Patrick's Day. I figure there will be a few regulars and others who come when they can. People seem to enjoy it and I know it's helping them physically, so I'm doing good. :) I took a vote and we're sticking with Cardio Party 1 next week. The steps can be a little tricky when you're new to Turbo Jam so staying with the same routine for a few weeks will help the group with mastery. The more they get it, the more energy they put in, the more calories they burn, the better their form gets, the more fun it is, the more confident they get. So we'll stick with CP1.

My Turbo Kick training is TOMORROW. I'm nervous and excited and so very much on edge. I'm doing laundry, I have my directions ready to go, I have a packing list, I know what I'm doing for breakfast, etc etc. I can DO this. And I will be great. All week when I've been nervous, I've told myself I am a rockstar. It's helping. :) And because my natural bent is to over-prepare when I'm nervous, I started packing Tuesday and a packing list on Thursday. My directions have been printed out for over a week and I made sure I have good copies of the maps earlier this week.

I think I'll continue doing Fit Club for a few weeks before switching over to teaching Turbo Kick. I need to find a location to teach (the church is a possibility and the pastor is looking into it for me) and work out those logistics, get insurance, and practice the round. I may do a practice class with a few select people to get my sea legs. I'm networking with a few local instructors for tips and possible teaching locations. I'm really doing this. I have pictured myself teaching a class in the past, but it was more the way that I pictured myself giving a concert (I can't sing or play an instrument) or acting in a movie (other than a few church things and class projects, I've never acted). This is happening. I'm doing this. I'm facing down my fears with the belief that I will be better, stronger, more confident, and living my dreams on the other side. So yes, I am nervous, but I believe I can do this. I AM doing this. :) Wish me luck!
