Ok, I've been waiting to really post in this thread until I could say "I did" instead of "I'm going to".
I ran across the blog Jackson posted a while back and actually have it bookmarked to re-read whenever I start saying "maybe I'll do this after".
We've had some legitimate life improvements occupying all of our free time for the last few months (we bought an old house and did the renovations to get it move-in ready ourselves.) We are now moved and settled in for the most part.
Tonight we went to our first BJJ class! We actually just got home. I'm still a bit overwhelmed, jelly-legged, and hopped up on adrenaline, but it was pretty awesome. I broke a sweat before we even finished stretches, but I managed to finish the warm up and at least attempt every aspect of the class. I'm sure I looked like a beached whale at times and an upside down tortoise at others, but everyone was very positive and supportive. I can't wait for the next class!
Awesome! I am glad to hear my posts had something to do with it. Can you tell us where you trained?
