Self defense kicked my butt

Last night was my third class; my first group class. I wish someone had forewarned me that I'd have to do jumping jacks, sit ups and push ups!

The jumping jacks were fine, not so much the sit ups. I've never really been able to do them well. I did as best I could and couldn't do them all consecutively but I will at some point! The same goes for the push ups. Foolishly I tried first to do them the proper way but gave that up before I even completed one. The rest were done on my knees. I was a little slower than the others and thus off count but I did do all those!

I felt a little at sea in the group class and still am not complete sure I did everything I was supposed to do, or if I even did it correctly. I'm hoping I feel less self-conscious as times goes on. I will admit at times I was so concentrated on what I was doing I was less aware of those around me and thus less self-conscious. It's a bit disconcerting knowing there are all those people spectating. :) It's great for the children though, to have their parents there and involved.

I'm having a hard time remembering the names/numbers of the moves and some of the finer details. I hope that's something too that comes with time. I have been looking online at information and it was recommended to keep a notebook. The only problem is I can't remember enough to write it down!

I'm nervous that I can't do this but am determined to do my best and let go of that feeling as best I can. I feel so good about doing it and that's worth it. I've still got to figure out how I'm going to pay for it. I was hoping my second business would earn me enough to do so, now I'm not so sure. :( I'll figure it out though.
