I was a little late this morning and a little unmotivated from something that put me in a bad, bad mood yesterday. An old friend of mine totally took some of my constructive crticism badly and ended up stopping all communication with me. BLAH! Why try?! So, I was in a bad mood and totally unmotivated today. I walked the first lap and then stuck my mp3 earbuds in (which I haven't used in awhile because I like to engage with the other participants a bit; this morning, I needed them to helpme get into training mode).

Ava ran the class... I think it was the first time I got to attend when she taught. She did a great job and made a good point about it not mattering who was training us, but that we give it our all. I started out slowly with our steamengines, but by round 50, I pumped it up and put a little spring into it. I tried my best to finish strong and did my best to go really fast and push hard when shadowboxing.

The last 15 minutes was in the spinning room, and this was the first time in weeks that I took the bike instead of the handbike. It was interesting how hard it was for me. I constantly needed to find my 'groove'. I sweated a lot! I wasn't going fast, but it was working me hard. it was even dripping on the handlebars! I wish Frogs had the disinfectant spray that some other gyms have. I'd like to clean my bike more.

OH! I FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY learned how to take the stinkin pedals off of the bike! I twist towards the bike, not outwards! Brandy is my hero! She showed me the erro of my way! And guess what? I even helped someone else get their pedals off of their bike! (Tracey :) So I go to 'give back'. hahaha

Weigh ins are tomorrow. If my scale is right at home and my small pants fitting right aren't indicative of great numbers, I will be disappointed! I hope I report great progress tomorrow. For some reason though, I feel bloated today! I will hydrate as well as possible and stick to my planned food for today.

Best to everyone!
