Just Call Me Jelly Legs!

I arrived this morning bright and bushy tailed at 5:50 am for the Beginning Spinning Class armed with the gel seat that my friends had recommended, a bottle of water, and a towel.  I mounted that bike, and went at it.  By the end, my legs felt like jelly, but what set in next was insane.  Folks had warned me about the post spinning bike seat phenomenon.  The pain is unlike anything I have felt before.  I wish it was only my butt that hurts!  This brings new meaning to what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.  I’m still standing, but sitting is tough.  LOL.  I have no choice but to stick with it, so I can feel the victory of not getting beat down by a bike seat.  Tomorrow I’ll be on a treadmill or in the pool, but Thursday I’ll be back to challenge that bike.
People keep saying it takes 21-28 days to make something a habit.  One day down, 27 to go (might as well take the challenge of the longer time period).  Back to watching Biggest Loser and finally not feeling guilty about my lack of workout while they sweat their lives away.
Much nub and good health,

My First Post: Here I am!

Hey, y’all. Welcome to my new blog. Have you ever woke up one morning and realized your favorite clothes didn’t fit? Have you ever started looking at the scale sideways because you feel like it’s going to bite you? Have you ever wondered why your gym membership card sits gathering dust unused in your wallet? These are part of the reasons for this new blog. I am thirty something, and I love my thirties. The only thing I don’t like about them is the Kryptonite-like effect on my metabolism.

I decided that I needed a way to be about the business of getting healthier because I deserve it. This was a way to have all of you hold me accountable, and to make the journey fun. I was feeling so overwhelmed about getting started. Between the pressure I put on myself and the pressure that comes when people remind you that you’ve put on some pounds. Like you never noticed? LOL. I needed something to tip the scale balancing my motivation versus procrastination. I ran out of excuses, so here I am. 2010 is my year for no excuses.

Thanks for checking me out. I’ll be posting daily about my adventures in the pursuit of healthiness. Let me know what you think. I’m ready to get it started. I better wrap this up because I am going to attend my first spin class at 6 am. Wish me and my butt luck! I have a my padded seat:)

Much nub and good health,

EG
