Why You Really, REALLY Need to Keep on Tappin'!

**BlessedMama** · 03-21-2011, 08:58 PM

Tonight as I was getting ready to teach my T-Tapp class, I confess I was feeling really off. I felt like crying and hiding in a hole for 6 months! Not sure what was going on--I had gotten an e-mail from a df I'm a bit concerned about, but nothing horribly earth-shattering, not TOM nor close....just very strange.

I got to my class, we warmed up with PBS, then did Oil Wells, T-Tapp Twist and Hoedowns (this class is mostly total newbies, so we've been learning a few moves each week

).

Can I just say that it wasn't long and I was feeling SO much better?! The difference was night and day in my attitue and emotions! Before I was feeling like a total failure as a wife, mom and trainer (for no good reason, either!) and afterward I felt uplifted--no crying or hiding for me now!

It also helped that my df Bev (eshlemania) let me know she could see improvement and that I was more at ease in my teaching (thanks, Bev!) but I really, truly feel getting some moves in helped clear out some yucky-feeling emotions!

Guess it goes to show when we least feel like working out is the time we most need to go push play!

T-Tapp--not only for physical health but emotional well-being as well!

Thank you, Teresa!

Hmmm... sounds like your day started off just like mine! I felt like I was relapsing and the gray cloud had found me again. I posted on the 6-week thread this morning... thought maybe someone else would like to come to my pity party... then CBuffy told me to do 2 HDs and hurry over to the HD thread so we could hit our goal. I jumped up and did two HDs (still in tears from my pity party!) and went over and posted. Just those two HDs helped pull me out of the slump, so imagine what a workout might have done!

Good post as usual, Trisch.

Oh yes! Agreeing here, too! Physical, mental, emotional...it all goes together.

Good for you, Peggy!

So, does the moon being so close to earth have anything to do with these blue feelings?!

At least we know what to do to combat it and feel better!

HUGS to you!

I don't know, but it sure seemed to come out of nowhere! I know I was tired, which will make me more moody, but I don't even know where the excessive tiredness came from, as I had gone to bed earlier than usual the past two nights. Like you said, at least we know what to do about it!

I'm so sorry that you two were feeling so down in the dumps but glad to hear things turned around for you, Trisch and Peggy. Is there ever a day where we, as Tappers, don't thank Teresa for her efforts in creating this program, for some reason or another..... I seriously doubt it.

SO true! I feel like a million bucks when I'm done teaching or working out--at least until the next day! LOL I really think we should have a little alarm that goes, "ALERT--You're getting kind of witchy--Time to do a workout---ALERT..."

Now there's an idea!

When I'm in a "mood", though, I'd probably be turning off the alarm like I do my alarm clock in the morning when I don't want to get up! "ALERT--You're gtting kind of witchy--Time to do a workout--Alert..."... "Oh, shut up and leave me alone. Grumble, grumble grumble..."
