it hurts so good!

So today marks day 3 of getting back into shape and it hurts so good! haha!

I made it to the gym again last night and even though I felt like I might die, it was so awesome! I usually only take classes by two different instructors and they have completely different styles. I really enjoy the gal who teaches on Mondays, Thursday mornings and Saturdays. She teaches straight step and has tons of choreography which I love. I really enjoy the challenge and she has awesome music. The other gal who teaches on Tuesday and Thursday evenings is...crazy. She's like a drill Sergeant, seriously. I've always kinda not cared for her too much but her workouts are so good so I still attend her classes.

Last night was her interval training class and I forgot how much that class kicks my butt. I seriously thought I might die! She goes from one move to the next, boom boom boom. I need a break in between cardio intervals but NOOOOOO! I had to leave the class at one point and go to the womens room just to hang lean on the counters. My heart rate was so high I really felt like lying down but that would have been pathetic. When I returned to the class they were half way through one set so I just jumped in there and when the next set started I ran real quick back to the other side of the room to join them. Then I hear, "You need to finish your sets!!! Don't just do half of them! If other people start another, finish yours! Don't just run across the room and not finish!" I got very annoyed at that. Of course she was talking, I mean, yelling at me. I didn't realize that she was my aerobic boss. Everyone in the class, of all ages really, are in there and everyone has different levels. If I don't want to stand out like a sore thumb and continue a set that everyone else has completed and moved on from, then I don't have to. This is the reason I haven't really cared for this woman! But anyhow, I'm going to choose to ignore her and do what I want. Who cares what she thinks. At least I'm there and trying. Annoying!

This morning I loaded Evan up in the jogging stroller and decided to take a little jog around the neighborhood. I was running for probably 30 seconds when my calf muscles started to burn. I used to be able to run 2-3 miles straight and barely get tired but that 6 month break really set me back...big time! I've never really been a runner but I try my best and I'm proud of my 2-3 mile runs from back then. I'm hoping to get myself back up there and I know I can do it! It was so cute because Evan was turned around facing me almost the entire time and kept saying "Running? Running?" I kept telling him yes and he just seemed to like watching me. He probably thought I looked all weird! haha!

Anywho, I'm pretty much exhausted and my body aches. But in a good way. I love feeling this kind of pain because I know I'm doing something good for my body. I was planning to take the morning class tomorrow with the one instructor I really like but I noticed on the white board that there's a sub that hour so I think I'm just going to take the evening class with crazy lady. Hopefully more people will have filled it up and I won't be noticed as much. I'd really hate for her to yell at me in front of everyone again! I'll let you know if she does!
