Progress!

I talked 3 of my friends from work into going to a class this morning that's taught by Josh, the trainer that I met with last week. When I met with him he suggested that I take his class but I knew I'd need some support so I recruited Stacie, Anna and Kristi to attend with me. When I went to sign us up for it yesterday morning the girl at the front desk of the gym told me I was brave for taking that class. Oh great! I thought "What have I gotten myself into here!?" I was so glad that I had friends to go through the torture with!

The class was difficult and I will admit that I took a few shortcuts on some of the exercises that I really struggled with, but here's the good news... He told us to do those full sit ups that you'll recall I couldn't do at all last week and guess what! I COULD DO THEM!! I've been practicing every day and it paid off! I know it's just something little, but I was truly proud of myself. I'm so out of shape but I'm getting there- slowly but surely!

After the class Kristi, Stacie and I went to a restaurant called Squatters and got some breakfast. It was my first time there but I really wanted to go because they have vegetarian and vegan choices and run a pretty eco-friendly establishment. I got a tofu scrambler burrito and it was quite yummy! Take a look at the website to see what it's all about! Delicious!

I have the day off and planned to get my taxes done, but I must have put my W-2's in a safe place- so safe, in fact that I am having a hard time finding them. Oops. I guess I should go look some more- I know I'll find them!

I have a strong feeling I'm going to be sore tomorrow so I'll include a quote of inspiration. You can use it too should you need a little motivation for anything!

I hope Josh doesn't read your blog because I'm not sure he'll appreciate it that you compare his class to being "trod in the dirt." Haha- good for you for going to the gym so faithfully- and for mastering the full situp!!!
BTW, I LOVED Marley and Me!!!
