The journey continues ... ~ Jully

This week, there is no Pilates...
Oh, but don't you worry:
- I ran 5 miles on Sunday
- I was on the bike for 1 full hour and tried to keep my pulse at 120-130, which is what Virginia explained is the level I want to be in to burn fat
- I've also done a few mat exercises in the morning with the help of my bands

Fortunately, I've been able to go to the Metro Golf Gym, especially with all this snow outside!

A few things have been happening to me outside of the fitness and nutritional world. I've been taking a lot of time thinking about myself, and challenging myself. I remember when I was younger, I really thought I had it all figured out, but recently, I've been feeling like I'm re-learning everything. Like learning how to walk again, it's been quite a trip so far.

Friday, I was challenged to go to a bar and speak to 5 fellows. I was a bit nervous, but I did it. I mean, it wasn't about getting the numbers this time around, but I was able to do it. Thank you for all those helping the "Let's get Jully her Mac ON!" Cause!

On Saturday, I went to Employees Only where I had dinner and drinks with some friends. This night wasn't about boys, but something did happened. One of my friends (really, my friend's friend) upset me and left.
The next day, I really tried to deal with it the same way I've ALWAYS dealt with situations like this. I just keep it inside, tell myself it's not a big deal, that it'll pass and make a conscious decision to not put myself in that same situation again.
BUT, here's what happened instead...
I've decided that if people upset me because they do something wrong, they should know about it instead of having me carry it inside, while they go on completely clueless.
SO, I did. I confronted that person and right away they explained themselves... and I immediately felt better.
Granted it took me ALL day to decide to confront the issue, but the fact that I did, to me was amazing.
I don't know if it's Pilates giving me the "cahones", but now I have the strength to face myself. If there are problems, people should know about it and the sooner it happens, the easier it is.
AH! what a revelation!
