Walking right along - actually pilating along (see I don't think that is a real word but it works for me.)

I stumbled onto a place in October last year, Rebalance Pilates and Yoga, at a time when I really needed something to take me out of my head and put me in touch with my body.

It was a lucky break for me because it has made a difference to my life. I was feeling flat and lethargic with little idea how to break the rut I had got myself into and here was my opportunity to try something new. And boy, did it work. I had more energy and I knew what I could eat that would fuel my body and get it moving. The kilos and fat melted away -woohoo.

Then the wheels fell off, as they have a tendency to do - I stopped eating quite so well and going as often. Life got stressful and time precious. The weight crept back on and my mental state plummeted. But this time things were different because Rebalance was still there for me - leaving a door open to a journey not complete.

So I'm back - not as frequently as before and not quite getting the food right yet but I'm back. I'm trying to remember how it felt to hold my head high and feel good about the body I'm living in.
I do really like exercise - I love the feel of what my muscles can do and the energy that comes with each breathe I take. I love the atmosphere of this studio - the people who run it and the people who come have care and support for those around them.

I'm on a journey this time that will not come to a dead end - I will reach my goal and I will be stronger. It just is going to take time.

It is early morning and I'm off now to take another step - baby steps, one after another.
