Woke up at 9:30a and, yep- still sore from my chest to my toes! But I had a co-ed Body Control class at 12:15p with Jesus. I walked my pups, made a late lunch/early breakfast, and left for the class.
I get to Vixen Fitness and put my bag down, and Jesus instructed us to run 5 times around the building. Ummm...excuse me? 5 times?! I'm a newbie to all this cardio! And it's summer in Flroida- so it's about 97 degrees once humidity is factored in! 97 degrees!!! I thanked heaven that I had brought extra clothes to change into for work!
So 5 laps around the building. Now Vixen is not in a free standing building. It is in a section of a huge multi-layered office complex! I actually was able to control my breathing enough to jog the first 3 laps completely. For the last 2 laps I walked halfway then jogged the remained of the lap. I got a later start then the other girls in the class (no boys showed up) so I was the last to get back into the studio. I stumbled in, drenched, and Jesus asked me how I was feeling. Besides being sweaty, I felt fine, so I told him so. I looked around the room and each girl was performing a different exercise. Jesus had me to 3o crunches followed by 15 push-ups, and I had to repeat the sequence for a total of 5 times. Next was 30 lunges followed by 20 (I believe) reverse crunches, and I had to repeat the sequence for a total of 4 times. The class continued on with Jesus giving me different sequences and the number of times each was to be performed. About 45 minutes into the class I felt like I wanted to puke!! I just kept drinking water and keeping my breath under control and calming myself down. This was definitely the hard class I've done so far! But it felt good! I ended the class feeling incredibly exhausted, but glad that I made it through.
I worked from 3p-6:30p, so a short shift- 3 little shows! My foot felt great so no Hunchback of Notre Dame here! My only plans for after work was a meeting at 8pm with my Fantasy Football league to discuss roosters and scoring changes. I live too far from work to go home so I checked the Vixen schedule. Jesus had a 90 minute class that ran from 6:30p-8p and was divided into 3 parts. I called the studio and they said I was more than welcome to pop in for the 7p-7:30p section- so I did just that! I had no idea what to expect! When I signed in at the front desk I was told that they would be in the spin room in a few minutes! Spin room?! Oh no!! I had been so nervous about taking a spin class because I have such short legs that bikes always felt uncomfortable. But, no turning back now! And it was going to be under 30 minutes- I could make it through 30 minutes. And if I hated it then I knew for next time!
(not me in the pic)
The minute I sat on the bike (which Jesus had help me adjust) it hurt my...ahem...pelvis area. Most specifically my pelvis bone. I found myself standing up every once in awhile for a little release! My legs started burning about 7 minutes into the class, but Jesus made the class fun and 30 minutes passed by rather quickly. I made note to definitely try one of his one hour classes- to the dismay of my pelvis bone!!
All in all, I'm starting to get in a groove of working out! They say that it takes 3 weeks of doing something before it becomes routine, but it might be earlier for me!
P.S.- I got weighed at my job today for the "30 day weight loss challenge"!! So now I have two goals to works towards!!
Food journal:
Breakfast/lunch: 2 grilled cheese sandwiches (they are so delicious and take almost no time to make!)
Dinner: I made yet another stop at Pei Wei this week! Got the same ol' large shrimp fried rice meal and a soda and I ate half of it during our FF meeting!
