Day 19 - Spin class the necessary evil!

First, lets start off with a little bit of housekeeping. Yesterday, I erroneously list the post as Day 19 when it was really Day 18. I apologize...call it my lazy Sunday.

Second, I blame all of you for not telling me what was in store for me in the spin class. OHH my butt, and the bike didn't even take me to dinner first lol! When I walked into the class I was already a little intimidated because I was the new kid on the block. You could tell that the people in the class were regulars because everyone had assigned bikes. I think I sat on someone's bike at the beginning because I was getting the side eye,so I decided to move
to the front. Right in front of the instructor...


It was rough. We were riding standing up for most of the class, doing sit ups, and adding in a little kickboxing. While the class was on level 28, I barely made it to level 6. They were standing up, I was sitting down. They were on the next level, and I was about to die! Look at my before and after pictures. Don't you see the concern on my face? My saving grace was the fact that I never stop peddling on the bike, and I did what I could. I never gave up and I know that next week when I return--because I am not a quitter, I will be able to do much more. I will keep you posted on my progress in this class. Hopefully, I can get to the next level!
