Wheezing, exactly what I spent an hour of my evening doing yesterday. Gym, check. Spin class, check. Asthma attack, check. While I managed to keep moving the entire class, I did have to move out of position three and take a seat a time or two. or three. Surprisingly enough, I really enjoyed the class. It is very refreshing being in a gym where the classes are challenging and I feel like that gazillion dollars on a trainer won't be necessary. It is going to take some time getting used to. The bikes have you "clipped in", of which I have not previously done on the mountain bike, because I am a total chicken, and so that is a little awkward. The music in that class is FANTASTIC though. I was super pumped listening to it, the only issue I have is the tendency to try and bike with the music, and while it was obviously carefully choreographed, it is not always the best idea. There were several occasions I thought I may lose a limb because I would get so off track the pedals would just pull me around unexpectedly. And there were definitely sometimes where I felt like I was working my hips more than my legs and core...soo laughed at myself a couple of times to say the least. Overall it was amazing, and the teacher really did a great job; and I learned that clip-ins would be really helpful on the mountain, if I had near the balance needed for that sort of thing. I had not originally planned to hit the gym today, birthday dinner for my Papa tonight, so a little short on time; but I considered a lunch yoga class this morning when I got to the office. To my dismay, my license and gym pass are still in Matt's wallet from signing up yesterday. So, now the question is....margarita at lunch with friend (obviously at a spot I am a regular, considering the absence of my proof of age) or eat at home with the doggies, or quite possibly based on the weather, ordering a jimmy john's unwich in? Not my best options, and not a cheat day, but definitely a break day. Luckily, tomorrow I am taking the same spin class again, only for 45 minutes this time, and then hitting some weights after, so naturally I am not feeling so much like a loser for keeping my break day as planned.
Weekly goal of horseback riding lessons has been scheduled for success. I start next Wednesday, with my Mom. Have to say I feel a bit like a child taking lessons of any sort, that aren't artsy anyway; those appear to be "in." Why not give it a shot though? I have always wanted to and I definitely deserve it. Truthfully, I am like a kid waiting for Santa, super excited.
So....I am looking for a new book to read now that I have finished my previous one, I Don't Know How She Does It. I was able to relate to that particular book on so many levels, it was almost like I was learning from someone else's mistakes. Freakishly like me. But if anyone has suggestions let me know, I was thinking of maybe a good book on politics, since I just finished reading for entertainment. I already have my classic that I fall back on for a good chapter or two, Vanity Fair, loving that one.
Side note: my sister just brought reese's minis into my office...Cheat day??
