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 🙂
