I DID IT!

Cycling.  Is. Hard. Work.

I did it!  I signed up for my FIRST cycling class.  Then....I WENT to my first cycling class.  Then.....I made it THROUGH my first cycling class!

After reading a lot of your blogs and posts about cycling or spinning, I didn't plan on making it much past 20 minutes.  After 15, I wanted to stop SO bad but I was in the FRONT row (I got there later than everyone else) and I didn't want everyone thinking I was a big wuss.  So...I kept going.  And going.  And going.  And going.  I kept going for FORTY-FIVE minutes!  That's right...FORTY-FIVE BIG, FAT minutes!!  I'm sitting in my chair at my desk and my legs are still throbbing!  But...I MADE IT THROUGH THE ENTIRE CLASS!!!!!  I was/am SO flippin excited!

Yesterday wasn't a great day for eating.  I know it isn't an excuse (I know this only b/c my trainer tells me it isn't) but my monthly friend is on her way here so of COURSE before hand, I feel extremely bloated but yet, my stomach is a never-ending hole!  I never actually FELT full yesterday.  I never stopped wanting food.  I found an accountability partner on the Prior Fat Girl website (if you haven't been there, look it up) yesterday and we were texting last night.  Thanks to Christy, I stopped where I was (still not feeling full) and didn't eat another bite after about 7pm.  If I hadn't talked to her, I know I would have eaten the rest of the food in the house until I went to bed at 9 or 10.  So...THANK YOU CHRISTY! 

Today is another day.  I also read on another blog, don't get down on one day.  Make up for it the next day.  Balance out a 48 hour stretch, not a 24 hour stretch.  So, I will try that today.  I know I can if I really try. 
Have a great day ya'll!
