Not sure whether any kind of quota fulfilment is a valid reason to continue ("I enjoyed it" arguably more so), but otherwise I can merely endorse the previous encouraging posts. Go up at least several more times before questioning your decision to try it, be prepared for ups and downs during your lessons and afterwards, and most of all for an expensive yet legal drug (i.e., flying). No one expects you to be "fit to fly" after one lesson or a couple of lessons, so neither should you. FWIW, I remember neither my first flying lesson nor my first solo flight as particularly exhilarating, but somehow it added up so that now I suffer from considerable withdrawal symptoms if I haven't put my mitts on an airplane for more than a few weeks. As several people have put it: your wallet will never be the same. Blue skies and enjoy
