For My Reader!

So I am checking in here because a certain person asked what happened...you know who you are. ;) My only reader.

Brandon was fine. The black eye didn't even last very long. The worst part is that he broke his glasses and they are backordered so he is still wearing contacts. This is a problem because he is s o s l o w in the morning and it adds to his morning routine. Plus, although last year he hated glasses so I had to pay $120 every three months for contacts, this year he decided he hates contacts so now he complains every morning because contacts suck. ::sigh:: He's such a pain in the butt!

The only other thing going on is that I have started trying to get in shape. Since the beginning of the school year I have gained 10 pounds. Now I know some people would say "big deal" to this. However, my pants are all too tight and I don't feel like buying all new clothes! Plus, I have never had an issue with weight in my life so I am hating this! I joined a place that has yoga, pilates and spinning, I figure I can handle those things! The last organized exercise I did was kickboxing and I think I would feel way too old to be there. I felt way too old last time and that was 6 years ago. I get ideas in my head that I will just do stuff at home but I won't. If I even motivate myself to do it, as soon as it starts to get difficult I say "ok, I'm done". Yeah, lame, I know.

If I go to a class, I won't leave because I would be way too embarrassed. Plus, I will go because I am paying for it so I can't justify not going. So far I have been to five yoga classes and two spinning classes. The spinning classes are so hard for me right now. I am tired after ten minutes. It's pathetic! But...I won't leave so I just struggle through. The first time the instructor said the goal was to just keep pedaling the whole time. So I did that. Today I kept pedaling and I actually stood a few times, increased my resistance on "hills" more and did some of the jumps. But it about killed me. I was pretty sure I was going to throw up! Hopefully next time I can do a little more. And although I hate getting up early, I think the Saturday 8am class may be the best option for me. Trying to do that after being on my feet all day may be more than I can take right now!

Yoga on Wednesday.

Your "reader." LOL!!!! Too funny!

Glad we don't have the glasses/contacts debate here. Steve has glasses for reading, but that's it. So far. :-)

Btw, early morning is GREAT for exercising. I have totally fallen off the wagon with that, too, and I can see the negative impact instantly. Not sure if I'll get into a bathing suit this year or not. :-( Now that the weather has gotten better, I may be more motivated to get back to the gym (even though I have to go at 5am). I always felt good all day after that. Good luck!!
