Day 66

I woke up this morning at 4:30am so that I could leave my house by 5am.  I made it to the gym at 5:25 and got up to the Spin Room with 2 minutes to spare.:):):)  Which was a good thing since this is my 1st time taking spin since I came home from Miami.  The teacher needed to set up my bike.  I bought a gel seat from Sports Authority the other day and all I can say is it works like a gem.  My butt was not sore at all after Spin.  In fact after the hour long class I went down to the 2nd floor and rode on a Spin bike down there for another 30 minutes until Joe was ready for me.  I felt so good about the class and the fact that I made it through, not only did I make it through, I was able to do the ENTIRE class with the class.  Meaning I could stand up at a low resistance and do "running" on the bike.  I amazed myself this morning.  I really had SO MUCH ENERGY and was so happy and proud of myself and then I met with Joe.  


That was a bit of a downer today.  Usually Joe is my burst of positive energy in the morning, but not today.  He was pissed off at me and let me know it.  Mainly because I did an extra class yesterday and then I rode for 1 1/2 hrs. before I met with him today (which BTW, he knew I was taking this spin class this morning).  Seriously!!!  WHATEVER!!!  I am doing what I am doing to lose weight.  I know he is just looking out for me, but COME ON!!!  Joe has a good heart and is looking out for me, but I did not need attitude this morning.  I was on a complete ENERGY HIGH and then he sucked the life out of me.  That is what I call an energy vampire.  I don't respond well to negative energy that is obviously there.  So he said we were going to do 40,30,20,10 today.  Which means I do 40 reps the 1st set, 30 reps the 2nd set and so on.  So the rotation was STAIRS (grant you I just rode for 1 1/2 hrs and when he said stairs I thought to myself BRING IT ON) and then a 30 lb barbell something.  I'm not sure what it's called that I was doing but I do know again Joe got frustrated with me because what he wanted me to do initially I just couldn't figure out the movement so I asked him to switch, which he did, gratefully and then I could do it.  Basically it was a palm down curl into a press up.  So the 1st 40 floors were brutal, especially the last 10 floors.  I couldn't find my breath.  And then it took me about 2 minutes after I got off to finally breathe normal.  So I got on the stairs for the 30 floors and I could just feel the anger Joe had towards me.  Again, WHATEVER!!!  I am here to exercise.  So I made the 30 and he pushed stop and said that was it, we were going to stretch.  I totally could have finished the 20 & 10 rotation, but I think Joe needed to cool off.  So he stretched me out and I had tears coming out of my eyes, he thought it was because of what happened yesterday with the pilates trainer, but actually I just felt like my balloon was popped.  He deflated all my energy I had and it was coming out in tears.  So I went downstairs and got my bathing suit on and I just sat in the jacuzzi and calmed down and tried to get my happiness back.  I succeeded. I felt SO GOOD after the jacuzzi and steam room.  I totally need to talk with Joe tomorrow.  I just don't want or need any negative energy like he gave me this morning.  Maybe he was having a bad morning, I don't know, but wow, it really affected me.  Obviously with me writing it all down, it affected me.  Tomorrow is a new day.

Other than that, I've had a very productive day today.  I went to Sam's Club and did a huge stock up on supplies for the house. I've done a few loads of laundry and now I am off to take my kids to dance.  I will post pictures of my food probably tomorrow.
