A difficult Spinning Class

Thoughts:

Well, this morning I pulled my body out of bed and I dragged myself to spinning class.  Spinning class is hard at the best of times but todays....well...it was a totally different.

The spin instructor was my old personal trainer, Dan.

Now when you see your old personal trainer, it's like seeing an ex boyfriend.   Awkward and you never know what to say.  I couldn't even bring myself to make eye contact (I always make eye contact with everyone!!).  When he said hi, I could tell that it was awkward for him too.  I mumbled something back to him.

The class itself was torture.  It was 30 minutes of putting the resistance up to the same song that sounded like it belonged in a shit 1990's night club.  It waw literally put the resistance up, half pace then sprint!!!  Every 2 minutes!!!

With the circuit that I did yesterday, my legs were screaming.  I mean, absolutely screaming in agony.  I was in so much pain!!!  But I soldiered on.  I probably looked like an idiot but it was about burning the calories and getting my body into shape.

With every revolution on the bike I kept reminding myself of my goals.  How good I was going to feel wearing my jumpsuit....I could see myself zipping it up and looking at myself in the mirror.  Seeing the dark green with peach and brown flowers silky fabric paired with my tan peeptoes that I am going to buy when I get to the 100 hundred club.  It fits nicely, not tight at all.  I feel the lovely silky fabric brush my skin.

That silly clothes porn thought pushed me through the pain barrier.  I was a sweaty, purple faced mess.  I pushed harder.  then the class finished.  I stretched and left without acknowledging Dan.  I left feeling like I had been hit by a bus but I felt like I had triumphed in battle.

Today was 1200 calorie day.  And I have to admit, even though I am a food addict, I prefer the 1200 calorie days.  They are a good challenge for me.  How do I make tasty food with a restriction?  Spices of course!  Also, chilli is a great healthy dinner which I enjoy.  I have also started to be a lot more brave when it comes to cooking.  I was a kitchenphobe before this.  This weekend I am going to attempt to make a Slimming World recipe of one of my favourite dishes...Chicken Tikka Masala.  I have written the recipe out and it seems simple enough....we will see!!!

So onwards and upwards with this.  Like with any addiction, take it one day at a time.  I write in a journal that I keep with me if I feel like slipping and I have found that this works for me.

So Wednesday was a success, roll on a lay in and a 2000 calorie day!!!
