Day 123

So I have a great story to share with everyone. I’m really pooped so I hope I get it out right. I haven’t been to the gym for almost two weeks. I’ve been exercising but I haven’t been able to make it to my regular classes. I could go to others but when my routine is broken, I have a hard time adapting to change. Tonight I had a dear friend come over and he’s moving back to NM after living here for 8 years. ☹ Anyway, Ellison decided to skip class tonight so I signed up for a Zumba class. Well the timing didn’t work out so I couldn’t make the class. I started to look for another class and found a spin class I could go to. I was walking my friend to the train with absolutely no urgency to make this class. In fact, I secretly planned to skip it and go for a walk around the city instead. I kept looking at the subway clock because I was hoping I wouldn’t make it in time for the class. Nope, I got to the gym with plenty of time for this stupid class. This whole time I’m going through the motions but I’m thinking that I am not going to work hard. Not even a little bit. I peak in the spin room and it’s crowded. I grab a bike anyway and the instructor asks if there are any wait-listers or walk-ins. I raise my hand proudly thinking he’s going to kick me out. He doesn’t and he says, “Congrats, someone is too late.” Well let me just say that people who say they love spin must see Jesus while they’re doing it because I was damn near death. Holy Crap! I was dripping sweat from my chin to the floor. I don’t think I’ve done anything harder than spin. Our instructor was a very fit, very handsome, and very mean G. He drove me like I needed to be driven and that’s with a little bit of criticism. He was yelling at everyone that if they wanted to keep their fat thighs than to continue to go below 90. He also got off the bike and started to do the Lombada. A man after my own heart. So I am really proud that I did something today that I didn’t think I could do.

Tomorrow is body conditioning and tracking. I am still kick ass with my eating.
