Now, I am not an introvert, but I am also not one that likes to try new things. I stick to what is comfortable to me, and that is one of the reasons why my running progress was so slow (I stayed in my comfort zone and rarely pushed myself). So yesterday was somewhat of a big deal, as I branched out all by myself and exercised in a way that was completely new to me.
The class was 45 minutes, and like most spinning classes, it was done in the dark with little black lights outlining the room. The music was high energy and the instructions changed constantly so there was no time to get bored or to really relax. In the first two minutes, my thighs were burning so bad that I wondered how I was going to be able to finish! Also, I learned the importance of tension when changing positions the hard way...needless to say, my shin won't forget the feeling of being smacked by the pedal when the tension was too low in third! But, I will be going back...it was a lot of fun and an awesome workout.
For some eats:
I started off the day with Celestial Seasonings tea steeped with hot water and a little bit of Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar. Can I just say how awesome this ACV is? I use it for so many things, but the early morning tea really helps with digestion and clears the way for whatever I eat the rest of the day.
Breakfast was apples with cinnamon, 2 roasted sweet potatoes, and half an avocado.
Lunch was balsamic roasted veggies, brown rice and the rest of the avocado.
Dinner was a (unpictured) snack plate of hummus, rice cakes, apple slices, raisins, almonds and peanuts. And a hot cup of apple cinnamon tea for dessert :)
Today I plan to go to a Zumba class and do some weight training after.
Enjoy your Saturday and don't forget to move something!
