As you know I also got a trainer so day one was my evaluation day, and oh boy was it bad. I was completely out of breath the whole time, every muscle in my legs were burning in the first 10 minutes oh and I got dizzy twice. But no matter what I powered through and I didn't quit so what if I had to stop for a little bit. I didn't QUIT!
Day 2 I took it a little slower since I was extremely sore after that first workout. So 30 minutes on the bike it was.
Day 3 I did not go to the gym but I did dance when I got home from work. Some zumba, some hip hop, just moved.
Now Day 4 is where things got tough... and hour long cycling class. What the hell was I thinking! But again I powered through. I may not have done all the jumping and running and whatever else they call it but I biked over 20 miles and pushed myself do do something I haven't ever done before. I couldn't be more proud and thankful for Ray for inviting me to go. I think its going to be a regular Saturday morning thing.
Ray probably gave me the most encouragement.
"Just keep pedaling, go at your own pace and don't look around and see what everyone else is doing. Do you and after a couple of classes you will be able to do must of this stuff too."Being that day 5 is a day off from work and a Sunday I wanted to make it a light day when it comes to working out but none the less I was up early this morning and out walking 2 miles with some amazing people. I am so blessed to have this kind of support system and I really just hope that it continues and that I also learn when to accept the help from others and know that I don't need to do everything on my own. I have people in my life that want nothing more then for me to succeed and I know that not everyone has that type of support. I would hope that eventually everyone has someone they can lean on in a time of self discovery.
