Dear Mom,
I am afraid that I will no longer be able to bear you grandchildren because my business was crushed today in Spinning class. My chance for a cute butt is now taking precedence over your chance at immortality. Sorry about that.
XOXO- Rachael
Today was Wizard and my first attempt at Spinning. Let me give you a run down. The room is dark- plus. The bikes look like torture devices- minus. I was sweating like Lance on a hot day in France- plus. I discovered my bra is not strong enough- minus. Wizard almost fainted, making me look better- plus. Wizard totally kicked my ass at the standing up parts- minus. I peddled through the whole class despite the fact that I'm pretty sure I didn't have any blood in my lower extremities- plus. I discovered half-way through the class that my slow peddling was in fact caused because I am out of shape and overweight and NOT because the resistance on my bike peddles was higher than the other participants of the class (like I had been telling myself)- minus. The instructor is foreign, therefore making it harder for me to understand her commands- plus. The instructor is foreign, therefore making it harder for me to understand her commands- minus.
Overall, class was awesome and I'm going to try to maintain this high all day. Wizard helped herself to a donut, but hid in her room so I didn't have to see her eat it. We're solidifying some goals, here they are:
1. January 18th- Shopping spree for new clothes (umm...mom?)
2. Some 5k at some time, somewhere (I'm going to have to buy a stronger bra.)
3. Sprint Triathlon in August (yeah, well see)
Tomorrow is BodyPump.
Don't even ask about the weekend. Let's just say I discovered that you really can have too much grease (I didn't know that was possible), and I will never, ever eat onion rings again.
Workout: Spinning 45 minutes
Food:
12 oz coffee with 2 TBSP Hazelnut creamer (I refuse to give this up, it's my one pleasure)

1 cup carrots with 2 TBSP hummus and EVOO
Salad with red lettuce, grilled chicken, yellow pepper, cucumber- no dressing/vinegar
1/2 of a date bar

3 pieces of Papa Johns Pizza- onion and sausage

ReplyDeleteAh yes the joy of spinning class. Just give it a few more times. You may want to invest in a pair of cycling shorts. Gel shorts at Sports Authority $50 WELL worth it
ReplyDeletePapa G just stopped by the Library. He told me to tell you that your doing great and he's VERY proud of you. Keep up the great work.
