Note to self: do not do a spinning class right after running. In fact don’t do a spinning class ever again!

I am still spaghetti legged. My butt still hurts from the seat. Spinning is definitely NOT my cup of tea!!
Went to the gym this morning and did week 4 day 1 of C25k. Results are on my C25k page. Read them there. Then I decided to try the spinning class. BIG MISTAKE I felt like I was going to throw up half way through. There was one other new “spinner” in the class. I’m glad I wasn’t the only one. I wasn’t able to do everything. I couldn’t stand up when everytime she wanted us too, or stand up only a little bit. But I kept spinning the whole time. I was SO glad when it was done. I wanted to quit part way through but I didn’t want to look like a wimp. I kept thinking to myself “I should have done the step class, I should have done the step class.” Next week I will be going to the step class.
After the gym, I took the kids to the pool. It felt good to get into the cool water. Then we went to lunch and came back and took a long nap. Then we went to the library and then dinner. Now we are back at the house just hanging out. I have laundry to fold, but I am putting it off.
Food has been not that great today, but not totally out of control either. Dinner was my only downfall:
Breakfast: 1/2 a W/W smoothie with strawberries and blueberries before the gym
Snack: 4 cantelope melon balls afer the gym. A handfull of goldfish at the pool
Lunch: 3/4 of a whole veggie sub from Firehouse Subs (no mayo); jalepeno potato chips
Dinner: Taco Salad from Tijuana Flats: lettuce, black beans, cheese, sour cream, jalapenos, salsa. And of course…… chips and queso. I am proud of myself though for getting the salad. I have never had one of their salads. I normally get tacos or nachos. But I opted for the more healthy choice. Baby steps.
Edited to add that I ate nine(NINE) bagel bites last night at like 11pm. Ugh

Now, we all know I’m big on pushing yourself, but to the point of almost puking??? No way!
I love a good step w/o, too! I’m with you on that one. Read your C25K page and week 4 is looking good! I’m struggling right now to get back into the swing of things so ya get lot’s of sympathy from me about it being tough!!! Chow!

That’s funny that we both tried spin for the first time today. It’s 10:30 pm right now, my class was at 8 am, and OMG my sitting-on-the-bike-seat part of my body feels bruised. Yowza.
