Whee! I took my second spin class today. The first one was probably three or four years ago and I enjoyed it, but never went back. Now with my knee issues and my doctor’s instruction to cross train more, I decided to try a spin class again. I really liked it! A great workout.
I’m so lucky to be one of those people that can get a nice endorphin rush from exercise and I got one from the spin class today so I feel fired up, happy and perky! A great way to start my Saturday. I’m going to go back next week for certain.
In addition to giving me a great mental and emotional pick me up, it’s great training for me as I start getting ready to try my first ever triathlon in June. Now I just have to figure out when I’m going to fit in swimming weekly.
I’m having one of those days where I feel exceptionally, wonderfully, happily grateful for just being where I am. I often think of how awful I felt when I was 300+ pounds, not only physically but emotionally. It was just incredibly, soul-destroyingly painful to be there and not feel as if I had the ability to change it. The difference between that and how I feel this morning is amazing!
I’m always telling people that while weight loss and weight maintenance is hard, it is so worth it. It sounds like a platitude, but it’s not. I feel it in my bones, in my heart, in my soul every day. It is just so worth it.
