work it eh ?

Today I'm proud of myself .. I thought up every excuse not to go to the gym .. but I went ... it helped that my car pooling buddy Jane was ready to go at 4pm on the dot so I could make the 5:30 class ... when I said well .... we don't HAVE to leave now I knowe we both have a lot of work to do.... she's like .. "no you're going .. you said you really like this class" ... so that bit of external motivation helped ... however internally I pushed myself like no other during the class and it hurt like hell  but at the same time I felt GREAT at the end of it all. I think when I try to avoid going to the gym I have to think about how good I feel afterwards. The energy I have and sense of accomplishment I felt makes up for all the aches and pains. I think I have to carry this stop sign with me everywhere I go just like my purse ....

The instructor worked us so hard .. I was sweating like no tomorrow .. it was awesome in a weird, kinda work-out kinda way. Every time we were down in a squat(while holding weights )  I was like oh shit and it burnnned .... and then she counted us down ... "last set" ... 8 , 7, 6 , 5, 4, ,3 ,2, 1 .... sorry I lied .. one more count down of 8 ... 7...6 .... etc. it was nuts and as much as I wanted to kill her for doing that ... it's this push that got me through the class. She kept saying "work it .. c'mon.. work it" .. I love that even though there's a class of 20 I felt like she was speaking to me.... and then "highway to hell" came on .. and as I felt the burning I'm like yep this is work-out hell and I LOVE IT in a twisted kinda hellish way!!!

Great work-out, feelin' great . Have 2 dinner outs this weekend .. ugh :S ... wish me luck....going to try and eat well.
