So I did it.  I got up:

and I went to the gym!  I was very blurry eyed:

But I did it!  I ate half of this beforehand:

and the other half afterwards.

I went to a boot camp class and it KICKED.MY.ASS!!!!  Holy moly. To put this in perspective when I really stopped going to the gym regularly (during my first trimester of pregnancy where the gym goers were lucky that I didn’t puke on them) I had just finished an IRONMAN.  I was one of the fittest people there.  I could go into any class (except step) and do the hardest exercises with a lot of weight and be fine.  Ummm…not today.  I know you have to start somewhere and I’m SO glad I went.  But it was SO HARD.  I had to not do some of it which was incredibly humbling.  I am going to be VERY sore tomorrow. But? It felt GREAT!  I can’t wait to wake up early tomorrow and go to spinning!  I do need to be careful that I don’t overdo though.   It was also nice that a lot of the same people were there and I got lots of “hi’s”.  It’ll keep me coming back   I know a lot of them are going to ask when I’ll start teaching again (I used to teach spin class) and I’ll have to say “We’ll see.”

After dropping Lu off at daycare this morning I debated whether I would get a Jamba Juice or Starbucks.  I decided on:

Grande Soy Sugar Free Cinnamon Dulce Latte.  That’s a huge treat for me and I thought today was a good day to give myself a treat.  Tonight I’ll prepare a smoothie to have in the morning and that way I won’t spend $4 for breakfast.

In work news, I finished a HUGE boring project that has been looming over my head for a VERY long time.  I was so excited that I crossed it off with a sharpie.

It was so nice coming into that!

Can you tell I’m amped?  I don’t know if it’s the coffee or the endorphins from the gym. I’m going to say the latter
