Yesterday I went and did my first spinning class... it was rough on me - mostly because I am so out of shape. 60 minutes is hard. I wanted to quit after 30 minutes... but I stuck it out, stopped comparing myself to the more fit members of the class and just did what I could. And I made it!!! After class, my tush hurt. (well, it started hurting in class, actually) Those seats were NOT made for comfort. The instructor was nice - he had to help me adjust the bike to my unique physical size. And (BONUS) my trainer was there working out on the treadmill and noted me coming out of class.
Today has been a little bit of a bust, esp in terms of discipline. It's been cold and grey here all day. Very unpleasant. I spent the day cleaning and sorting (WHERE did all these papers come from????) For dinner - I just wanted to get out of the house - I decided to use a gift card I got for Christmas( Thanks Mom) and went to Maggiano's - in my defense, I did have a salad. I also had the appetizer size mushroom ravioli with alfredo (appetizer has 5 ravioli, entree size has 9) and some bread and oil. I had a beer - I have been cutting down on the drinking as this seems to be slowing my weight loss. I had a glass of wine on Sunday and nothing yest. Today the beer and no other ETOH.
Tomorrow is my pictures with my trainer at the gym, and (sigh) we are going to see how fast I can run a mile - I look forward to getting the weight off and getting in shape, but things can be so discouraging when you see people who are already there and compare yourself. Comparison to others is not good - Comparison to where I was is ok.
So Taking it one day at a time - tomorrow will be better than today....
