SOOOOOOOO tired!!

So, Wednesday was the first weigh in, and I was 195lbs. Do you have any idea how painful that is to say out loud!!!??? Wow....

But I digress....that evening, we also did our first spin class. It wasn't so bad-especially when I discovered I had the tension almost on full...THAT was why I thought I was dying :) Once that was dealt with, I did quite well if I do say so myself, and so did my partner Kerrey. She admits that her legs are her weakest area, but she pushed through and I am so proud of her!!

Thursday, we went to United Cycle to be outfitted with our work-out gear, which consisted of sweat pants made for a giant ( not kidding-the waist band is above my chest!!!) and out Team colours. Kerrey and I are the Green team-Go Team Green!! And of course, we got brand new shoes-and though I wasn't sure at first, they are fabulous-I didn't feel my feet at all during our first foray into exercise classes....

...at 6am Friday morning. We completed the RUSH class at World Health Club-we thought it looked good...on paper! We walked in there and the couple of the other students were talking to us and told us it was the hardest class...eeeek!! Weights, and abs, and cardio and lunges, and lunges, and lunges......and left there feeling superb!! Invigorated!! Ready to take on the world...though admittedly, a little sick to my stomach-lol.

Later that day, I hopped on my bike with my youngest on the Tandem behind and off we went-again!!! And I still felt great....and then 9 pm hit, and slowly I could feel those muscles starting to ache. No big deal! I took a bath-a long hot one :) And I slept like a log...

After hockey this morning I met Kerrey at the off leash area and we went for a walk, just to keep ourselves moving so we didn't get too sore.

Now, it hurts to sit, it hurts to cough, it hurts to stand and I think I could sleep standing up-but I haven't felt this good in years! My back doesn't hurt. My hip doesn't hurt. My ANKLE doesn't hurt, and I haven't been able to say that in over a decade.

Tomorrow morning, Kerrey and I are doing a Yoga class to work out some of these kinks and then Monday I get to meet with my trainer...YAY!!!

Why didn't I do this on my own years ago??? My husband is being so wonderful-he made me a nice , low fat dinner and has stepped up so much in the last few days. He tells me everyday how proud of me he is and how much he loves me. I think maybe he is glad to have me back :)

My floors need sweeping, but it doesn't make me angry-they aren't going anywhere!!

So, now it is time to cuddle up with my hubby and kids on the couch and watch a movie. I think I've earned it.
