Goals For The Week: Exercise Classes.

While out at dinner last night, The Husband and I got to talking about my "depression" lately.

I put "depression" in quotations because it's not the real depression, where you need medication to deal with it.  Mine isn't so much "chemical" as it is from "boredom."  I am so bored, I barely see a reason to leave the house.

Odd, I know.  But allow me to dissect.

See, when I was working, I had a reason to get up at a specific time each day.  I had a reason get dressed, fix my hair and stop off at Starbucks on the way to work...  I needed to look nice and I needed the energy from the coffee to get me revved up for the office.

But now... I don't have to get dressed up and out of the house by a certain time each day.  And I don't have to stop off at Starbucks to get myself perked up for the office.  So, in an effort to get me out of my funk this week, The Husband suggested I hit one exercise class (beyond Bikram yoga) each day this week and that I dedicate a few hours afterwards to writing outside of the home.

"That'll eat up a huge chunk of your day," he pointed out.  "And it will get you out of the house."

So, this week, I will try the following classes at the gym...

• Monday: Core Synergy
  
• Tuesday: Centergy
  
• Wednesday: Impact!
  
• Thursday: PowerNAP
  
• Friday: Studio Cycling
  
• Saturday: ZenMotion
  
• Sunday: Slow Flow Yoga

Back when I was working, I used to complain to The Husband that I didn't have the energy or time to try these classes... Especially if they were during the day.  But now that I am in a "forced retirement" for at least the next three months, I do have time.  And I might as well use it to try out all the things I wanted to do but never had a chance to.
