A First

So Alex and I have officially been gym members since Jan. This is the part where I post an amazing picture of me -20 lbs right? Unfortunately it doesn't work that way unless you are on The Biggest Loser. But at least I haven't gained weight since then, right? haha...trying to be optimistic!

I have decided that I will be a little more faithful in going to the gym, and also cutting back on the foods I shouldn't be snacking on. We will see how it goes.

Yesterday I took my first class at the gym. I've been wanting to...but was kind of nervous about it. I decided that before jumping into the cycle class I would start with something a little more easy. I thought kickboxing would be in that category...haha. So within 15 minutes (basically the warmup) I thought I was going to die. It was rough! It did feel great at the end though. I'm pretty sure I lost about 1000 calories in that one hour class.

It was fun to have such an intense workout! So now I am beginning this new adventure of trying different classes. We will see how that goes...

You have to come to Sunny's cycling class. Do you go to GB3? I love Sunny's class, it is the best, seriously.

Ray's Tues/Thurs 6:30 pm arobics class is awesome. Tues is step then butt/gutts and Thurs is a dance arobics then butts and gutts. I try to make it there with my cousin. Maybe I'll see you there. I've never gotten the courage to go to the cycling class. :)

Karyn- I didn't realize you went to GB3 also. Lots of people do, it seems like. I almost went to the 6:30 class yesterday, but then realized it might not be a good idea after how sore I was. So maybe I will she you there on a tue or thur night soon... we will see.

My cousin's been making me go to Sunny's Cycle class and I feel near vomitting after but continue to go back for more! I love the zumba class and butts and guts. If you want company let me know! One more person to push me to the gym is always a good thing!
