Whereas I am grumpy and pissed at the world for me getting up early. Rational? No. But I am just not a morning person.

I'm like you, lovelyivy84. I'm not a morning person at all. It doesn't matter how much sleep I get the night before, I'll still feel tired and sleepy trying to get out of bed. To have to get up really early to do ANYthing is a chore for me, so you know working out is out of the question. I can't explain it, but mornings feel really lonely to me. I just remember being left at the Kindergarten and my mommie saying goodbye to me, and I'd cry for the rest of the day. That's what mornings feel like to me, ... really, really lonesome. But then, once I get a hold to some fresh brewed Starbucks, then I'm good to go and life is just great!

Yes- discovering coffee has really opened up a whole new world for me, lol. With McDonald's coffee I could ALMOST get to like mornings. Not enough toe xercise, but you know, not be mad at the world.

So last Saturday I took my first spinning class and it was no joke. Seeing that I'm on the stationary bike 5 days a week I got talked into trying the early morning spin class last Saturday. yeah mylegs were soar, but my butt was more soar, so me thinking that I liked it went out and bought a gel-bike seat and took another class yesterday, and it's better. I really see how people get into spinning. You burn a ton of calories, and sweat like crazy. So I did 30 mins on the treadmill, 45 mins spinning, 30 mins on the elliptical, and then 30 mins on the stationary bike and it felt good. Burned over 2,000 calories. went home showered and went back to bed, it was only 9:30 so I needed more sleep.

I ate about 1ish and then about 4:15 I went to the track around at the high school and walked the track at a vigorous pace and worked up a sweat, then I took to the steps and ran up and down 5 times, and then went back to walking the track and then ran up the steps 5 more times and then around the track some more. I ended up being out on the track for 1.5 hours...yeah I was getting it in yesterday. Came back home showered and went to a bbq , oh and let me say that running those steps were no joke.

but it all felt very good.

even though I have only had 2 classes so far in spinning, i am so into it. I'm glad they finally talked me into taking a class.

Treblk, I was wondering if you got it in while gone, and I'm glad that you did....
