Today! Today is the first day I remembered why I was once addicted to exercise. The high is indescribable. It took a solid week to get to that point where I'm no longer in misery, I'm in a grind! The difference? Misery - "God I hate this, why the crap did I sit my ass down on this bike??" Grind - "God I hate this, but hell will freeze over before I back off that load!! Grrrrrr"
The latter are the kind of thoughts going through my head as I'm pedaling away (while staying in one place) tonight. I love the feeling when that drop of sweat is forming on my chin. To me, this is the second gear, the confirmation that I'm working hard. So I can't help but break into a grin, making that drop fall, feeling almost silly at how victorious it makes me feel.
Today I've decided that it's time to go back to teaching spin at Goodlife. If you're in Hazeldean area on Tuesday April 28th at 6:30pm and Wednesday April 29th at 7:30pm you will get to sweat it out with yours truly! And you all know that sweat is sexy so why wouldn't you come spin with me? As I put it out there that I'm available for subbing for other instructors I've gotten offers! Exciting, but scary. Am I ready? Am I fit enough? Do I still have the stamina to motivate my class as I'm working up that sexy sweat myself? As I'm mulling those questions over I get an email from my beautiful Nadia saying "You realise it's a new release next week right?" Uhm...no I did not realise that.....I did not realise that at all!! But at this point, I'm thinking what the hell, gotta come back to this someday, might as well be the new set of music! Another plus is that I don't have to think about putting my own mix together, just learn the new tracks! I don't even wanna know how intrigued you are to find out if I will rise to the occasion! Well....now you just have to come to my class so you can see it for yourself :)
Exciting food adventures today? I made tabouleh for the first time. How can a salad be so delicious!?!?!?! I went back for seconds in a happy guilt free spirit! One more recipe to definitely share.
Ok, good night, it's way too late but I just had to share because this is how I am feeling right now, this is how I'm feeling today!
