I went to the gym this morning. In fact, I have gone thrice this week. I ♥ me for that. I already feel better, I've been trying to get back on track for forever it seems and now I'm doing it. On my way to thirty I am going to lose thirty pounds. And this is how it's done.
Anywho. It's been a whirlwind first sixteen days of 2010. Filled with crisis, medical stuff (with the worst insurance ever, I might add … at least we have it, I suppose.)(Also, the crisis is not directly happening to Hubby and me, and it isn't the medical stuff.) and crazy, short, busy work weeks. I like my work that way though, it makes it more enjoyable when there's so much to do.
We started The Truth Project at work this week too, which was divine. Hubby even was able to come, since he wasn't working that day. I hope to talk more about that another time.
I rabbit trailed … what a surprise. I was saying how today is Saturday and I love Saturday. Even when it will be a day full of chores. As I said, I went to the gym and planned on taking a step class with my friend – Blingy (coming up with nicknames can be very difficult!). She is also my Weight Watchers buddy. Anyway, Blingy has done step before, though it's been a while for her. She convinced me to go this morning (I'm up to try anything at the gym, really). It starts at 8:30, so I left the house at 8:15 after a good oatmeal breakfast (I really do like oatmeal, mmm).
We get there she shows me what I need to do to set up. All the ladies are coming in, some very svelte others look like they too are beginning. So … it starts off – step up, step down, move to the side, repeat. Simple enough. Now let me say, I chose a position in the very back of the class, as anyone like me would. (By this I mean, I have NO rhythm and have never taken a step class.) And I did that for a reason! Very quickly, however, the back became the front. And there I was at the front of the class, not keeping up. Embarrassing. I can't even describe it to you. But I got the heck out of there. Blingy was okay with that because she has an old back injury that wasn't enjoying step class either.
Okay, it wasn't as embarrassing as I probably thought it was. But I was definitely in over my head. We did the cross-trainer and treadmill for the rest of our hour, which is always a good sweat.
The other surprising thing? EVERYONE and their mother is at the gym and out walking their dogs on a Saturday morning. I mean, I know I live in the suburbs. But, who knew? Here I am sleeping the morning away and everyone else is out enjoying the beautiful California day.
The rest of my Saturday? I'm working slowly but surely on a home improvement project. It's coming along, really, I promise. I'm staining and sealing the concrete in my living room. I've only been working on it since November. I'm just not the weekend home improvement project type of girl, okay?!
Anywho, I better get to it! Hope you have a divine Saturday too!

(P.S. Before I go, have you seen Heidi Montag's newest bout of plastic surgery? Gah-ross!!)
1. I know who Blingy is!
ReplyDelete2. I know those people you speak of in Rocklin out walking dogs and jogging and riding bikes in large groups. I would see them on my way into work and I wish I was them and longed for the day when I wouldn't have to work anymore and could be one of them..then last week I want to Calfit by work and saw those same people. They make me feel fat!
3. Yes. Heidi plastic sugery=gross!
PS. Im glad your posting again! and I want to hear about the Trust Project
Hee hee... I don't ask people "can I write about you in my blog?" ... so I just make up names for them just in case :)
ReplyDeleteYou are so not fat!
Heidi is a freak of nature. She seems very insecure, but when I watch The Hills, when you see the real her now and again, she seems fairly smart. I just don't get her, I think even Spencer thinks she's crazy.
Yes, posting again. :) Determined to be better at it!
