Since December

I realized that I have lost 13 lbs since December. I thought I'd only been gaining weight. I've lost another 3.1 lbs since last week (or the week before). I need to start keeping better track of this stuff.

I spent 45 minutes on the Wii and burned 199 calories.

One thing I really want to work on is my coordination. I have always struggled with coordination and it has been a source of great embarrassment over the years.

I went to a Japanese festival yesterday. They put on a traditional japanese dance and asked people to get up and do the dance in front of the stage. This is WAY out of my comfort zone but I am trying harder and harder to move out of this stupid comfort zone. So, I got up in front of a ton of people and tried to do the dance.

I was hot and sweaty and there was a lady making very large hand and feet movements directly in front of my friend and I. The people behind me were not stepping back as far and I didn't have much room to move around. I was completely mixed up on the movements and I saw people taking videos. It was so embarrassing to be stumbling like a fool, tired and sweaty, being caught on video.

Fast forward to today. I decided to do a routine on my Wii, which I prefer to do alone. I do not like people watching me/talking to me while I try to do the routines. A couple of visitors came by while I was beginning my routine. One of them decided to watch me go through my routine, while chiming in about this or that. Not so much with the helpful while trying to stay balanced.

It seems whenever I try to do the actual routines, we have drop in visitors.

Where is the love?

Anyway - I am sure I will get better with time, on coordination and getting over the whole fear of working out & dancing in front of others. I really hope so!
