Man the variety is wonderful, lol.
I finally took a spinning class. It was horribly uncomfortable, those seats are not made for people with booty and I haaaated it. I hated it almost as much as I hate boot camp style classes. Hate. Ack.
It's official- the only classes i can take are lifting classes and dance classes. I would rather get on the treadmill for 6 miles than take a spinning or bootcamp class. No idea why, it's just the way it is.

It all happened so fast! I had to bring my girl's car down there for her and then I was in a wedding, then I had to cut my trip short to come home for a summer job that fell through.  I should be back next month for another wedding. I'll keep you posted! You know I want nothing more than a happy hour with my girls!!! Don't worry, we can walk before drinking and dance after drinking! I've figured out a way to have my cake and eat it to! 
That being said, let me get OFF the computer and go walking cuz a sista is goin' out for drinks tonight!

Okay Sorors I'm going to join in with you. I've already lost 15lbs and my plan is to lose 20 additional pounds by Boule. You think that should give me enough time? LOL. I'm sure I'll lose it by the holidays, however, it's going to be about maintenance.

Awww lovelyivy84 don't hate spinning it can really be fun. Ask the instructor if they have a cushioned seat/gel seat or next time bring a towel to wrap around the seat. As you go to the spin class more and more you'll learn to balance you weight to take the stress off your backside.
Can you tell I love spinning I've been spinning since January and it keeps me motivated. Try spinning one more time pleasssssssssssssseeeeeeee...okay you don't have to but choose classes that work for you. Goodluck reaching you health and fitness goals.
*whispering*go spinning one more time.

It's all mental, I am just not built that way. My mind HAS to have something to do while I exercise. Dance classes have me focusing hard on trying to remember the next steps. In weight classes I am concentrating on my form. When I get on the elliptical trainer I put ona book on tape. In spinning classes and boot camp classes it's just too monotonous, I can't do it. After 15 minutes all I can focus on is how uncomfortable I am and I am ready to climb the walls.
Currently my favorite form of exercise is window shopping. That's about all I've done since I started working for exercise, and I am down a pant size, lol.
Well that and changing from sandwiches at lunch to salads (the McDonald's southwest salad is GREAT as long as you go to a good McDonalds that makes the salads fresh). Lifestyle changes!

that's why cardio is hard for me. I don't know if I should but I've started breaking it up into 10 min. intervals. I'll do 10 on the treadmill then upper body strength training; 10 min. on the TM then lower body; 10 min. again then abs.
For a long time, I've heard people talk about how good they feel after working out and I just couldn't follow that but since I've started doing the above plus using the stretching thingy the gym has, I see what they mean!
