DNO, My perception of my body getting stronger does influence how I carry myself in the world, and how I think of myself. I didn't realize how important strength training was. My focus in the past was weight management and staying trim. I want to have pride in my appearance. It only makes sense that if one is working on mental strength, than one can't ignore physical strength.
My W does have an interest in going on a family vacation with my family. We'll start putting plans together after tax season.
We're keeping up with the strength training three times per week. She's keeping up with her personal training. We've discovered a virtual reality bicycle that we can do side by side for cardiovascular workout. Our monthly fee for our fitness facility is moderately expensive, but we both feel that it's a good investment, since we use it regularly. we've belonged to a discount facility in the past but hardly used it. Our place has more of a sense of community.
I'll maintain faith that if we keep up with our new health habits, be out in the dance community learning new dance skills, practicing these skills on our own, connecting with others and pursuing friendships, that good things will happen, and my W will pursue employment that fits her and brings in needed extra cash flow to the household. Healthy habits will replace passive ones for both of us. She has stated that she enjoys working out together.
