I’ve been thinking about trying a spin class for a while but was never brave enough and fear kept me away; until this morning.  I decided to face my fears and jump right in. Considering I haven’t even taking out my own bike for a ride yet this spring, I think I did well.  It was 1hr long but it amazingly went by fast. I survived the whole 1hr but started to slow down the last 15 minutes or so. That is a hell of a cardio workout. I had no idea that my body could sweat that much lol.  I loved it and got such a high from the class. The only downside if you want to call it that is the sore ass factor. OMG those seats are hard, but they tell me it gets better.  I’m pumped now and can’t wait for next time.

I’ve kind of been in a slump lately, which basically started when I got sick and it completely through off my routine. It’s so easy to become lazy and just give in to temptation.  I just seem to love ‘bad’ food. I know it’s making me fat and sometimes I just don’t care. But today I went out to my son’s basketball tournament and felt re-energized. He plays for the school team, which is a combination of grades 5 & 6; he’s in 5. He’s so naturally athletic and they play hard, had fun and got the bronze. They were excited and so was I. Our winter is finally starting to melt away so we spent most of the afternoon playing ball outside and it felt amazing to be outside and getting exercise.  I feel alive again. It feels so much better to do that, than do sit around on my ass and stuff my face.  Hope to post new pics soon, with some improvements. congrats to all who are working so hard, you are reaping the rewards..keep it up
