Also, I measured myself the other day, and so far I have gone down 4 inches... 2 inches in my waist, 2 inches in my hips. :) I may have already written this, so if I'm repetitive I apologize!
So today, like I said, I went to my first spinning class in a while at the gym. OH MY GOODNESS! The instructor was awesome! She was a sub for today, and I loved her! She told me everything I needed to know - things the regular instructors never told me! Then - get this - she says to me "Don't stay the whole time, only stay for like 45 minutes today." WHAT?! Here's why: She said that if I stayed the whole time and did everything all-out, I would hurt so bad tomorrow (true, been there) that I wouldn't want to come back (also true, been there). So at 6:15, I got off my bike, stretched, and cleaned the bike. The best part? This is why I love this gym... EVERYONE in the class as I left said "Great job today Erin! See you next week!"
There is so much support surrounding me, and I have to take a minute to thank my readers :) I know a lot of you are family, but still. It means a lot to me that when I post this, all of a sudden I hit "stats" and it tells me 10 people are already reading my post! So thank you! With this outpour of support, I truly feel like this is my time. I feel different, I carry myself different (so says my daddio), and I feel CONFIDENT! I honestly haven't had a day yet that I haven't hit my calorie burn target. It's amazing!
THANK YOU!

Spinning ????? I dont' know Erin It would take alot more for me but one day I might have to go with you !! proud of ya !!
ReplyDeleteNice job Erin, and the spin instructor sounds like she knew what she was talking about. One class "over-doing it to the extreme" can really taint your view of that exercise for a long time to come. I took a hard-core yoga class once my senior year of college. Operative word: Once. I was so sore for the next 3-4 days I couldn't do anything else, and I haven't done a yoga session since!
ReplyDeleteEase into new exercise regimen, and increase intensity as your body strengthens and becomes more resilient to that particular format. :)
Proud of your accomplishment so far! I know that 7 is going to be 14, then 21, then 28! You got it going, use the momentum!
