Better Late than Never....

So I decided to jump on the bloggin' band wagon after a FANTASTIC fit date yesterday at Legacy Indoor Cycling with Sammie, Chris and other Bootyfication Challenge members. When I started this challenge I knew I could do it....cut out dairy, check....cut out sugar, check...eat a giant salad daily, check...exercise for 45 min a day (ugh), check...belly breathe, check....get on a bike and pedal like hell for an hour (double ugh), check.

Like many, I've always wanted to try spinning but never got around to it. I love running but I really need to change things up and give my knees a break. Spinning seemed like the perfect low impact cardio alternative. Unfortunately before I left I was feeling lazy. It was such a nice day out and the thoughts of lounging in my yard in the sun and digging in my garden seemed much more appealing than sweating buckets. But I knew I didn't want to let Sammie, Chris, the other challenge members and myself down. I knew if I didn't go I wouldn't exercise AT ALL, so I went, I pedaled, I sweat (then I ate a burger...4oz Hero burger SANS fries). Heck I deserved it after that!

Last night while lying in bed watching the 3 hour Survivor finale my legs were tired. I knew I gave them a good workout and it really did feel great. This morning is another story...my tush is SORE! That'll teach me for not getting on a bike and trying spinning years ago. That being said, I definitely see more spinning classes in my future!

Looking forward to a good butt kicking tonight at Booty Camp. Finally the weather has warmed up and I won't have dress like we did last week. Welcome back Spring!
