aqua aerobics - 01:45 PM
i went to aqua aerobics for the first time this morning. i was surprised at how much fun i had & at how much more difficult it was than i thought it would be. well, difficult isn't really the right word. i guess i mean that it took more energy than i thought it would. i figured it would be just a bit of arm waving & running on the spot, but i actually had to take a rest for a minute or so at one stage.
one thing i was surprised by, although perhaps i shouldn't have been, is that out of a group of fourteen women attending the class, i was only one of three that were under about sixty years old!! one lady looked to be about forty-ish & one other looked younger than me, perhaps in her mid to late twenties. the only one that didn't look rather overweight was the lady in her forties. well, there was me too, i guess, but i'm bigger than usual for a different reason .. *chuckle* 
it was really fun. there was one lady who just would not shut up, but she was quite amusing when we could understand her relatively thick accent. the intructor made jokes about not being able to keep her under control .. "but i mean that in the nicest way possible!" he said.
the instructor was quite a good looking young man, perhaps mid twenties, nicely toned & tanned, looked part latino & part greek if i had to make a bad guess. when the class started & he instructed everyone to get as close as they needed to be able to hear him, one of the ladies moved far forward stating "he wants us to get closer to him!" with a cheeky grin on her face. hehehe, i don't think that any of the ladies there minded sharing a pool with him. poor bugger, i'm sure he would have been happier with the rapt attention of women about forty years younger. still, he was quite charming & polite & joked around a bit.
i'd been planning to start the aqua aerobics for a while since looking into it a couple of months ago, so when i was in the city the other day, i went to sunburn (unless you want to wait around to see a few girls in bikinis, skip the flash intro & go here) in the myer centre in brisbane city to pick up a bikini. i do already have a bikini, but the top is of the style made with two triangle shapes. before i fell pregnant i looked quite 'booby' in it & now, with my breasts progessively growing larger each day, it would have been a bit obscene, so a new bikini was definitely in order. i ended up with a really nice chocolate brown one, the top being in a halter neck style (in a d cup!!) & the bottoms being low cut as is the fashion & tied up at the sides. it's quite cute.
(i just had a look at their rather extensive online catalogue & thought, "hmm, at the moment i don't look like any of those girls in my bikini." mind you, i could rival any of their breasts!)
with lots of jumping up & down in the pool, i was really glad that i hadn't just stuck with my old bikini. it wouldn't have been pretty .. well, depending on whose point of view you're coming from, i guess.
afterwards, i was quite tired & almost ready for a nap. they run classes three times a week at 9:30am, not too early & perfect for me to attend. i've decided that i'm definitely going back for more, so i've purchased ten classes ahead of time. it was $10 a class to get in casually, but only about $35 for ten classes bought all at once .. excellent value. i have three months to use them, too, so no worries about missing a class here or there. anyway, i only have to go four times to get my money's worth compared to paying casually.
and you girls say us guys are sexists with straying eyes. tsk, tsk
A little looking, never hurt anybody
Besides, what goes around comes around
everyone seems to think that i was perving on this guy. i'm not saying that it's wrong to look at something beautiful (i have no problem with shroom admiring other women) but the point of me mentioning the guy was because of all the old women trying to crack onto him.
just to clear that up ..

Sounds like fun
It always helps if you have something/someone nice to look at when your doing something hard. I'm pretty lucky, 3 out of the 4 lecturers I have at uni are dead set sexy!
