Proving Myself

Today at work, we had a well-being fair. Basically, it was booths with all different services and benefits to help you with your well-being. I got to the table that talked about our free on-site yoga classes. The very pretty, very fit woman at the table asked me and my colleague if we'd ever attended any of the classes. I commented that I had tried earlier, but they were always full. She said that I should consider signing up again, as attendance had fallen a bit. They also are not until 5:30 and are on Tuesdays, so they don't mesh with my schedule, but I wasn't going to go into that.

Then on the table, she had the Parents Yoga Baby DVD. I said to my colleague, oh I did that with K. The woman then replied, "Yep, that's my baby Max." I looked at her and then back at the DVD. It was her. So, then of course, because I felt like I had to prove that I really actually did do the yoga workout, I said, "oh, I have your older children's version, too." (which I do ...) Of course, this just made me feel like I really had to validate it and prove myself, so I told her how K really liked this one particular move on the workout.

Her eyes suddenly lit up. "Oh, that's so great, I love to hear what people enjoy. Would you mind going on my website and giving me a testimonial." She quickly wrote down her site address and then she also gave me  a promo code for a discount. So, in the end, I'm glad my insecurities had me feel like I had to explain myself. And truth be told, I really did have fun with the workouts and it made me realize on my off days that I'm not running, I should pick it back up and enjoy the workout with O. I think he'll like it.

And because I will do more than just give her a testimonial, check out Jillian's site:  livehappilyeveractive.com. The DVD's really are fun, they are focused more on bonding with your child - so you won't break a sweat ... but you'll definitely crack a smile!
