Exercise, exercise, exercise & endless issues with skin. Yuk.

Jan 03, 2010

Monday:  Spinning
Tuesday:  Intense Cross Training.  That's not my description - that's the actual name of the class.
Wednesday: Cardio Kickboxing
Thursday and Friday:  No classes!  No exercise! 
Saturday: Intense Cross Training...again
Sunday:  Day of rest?  Nope!  Cardio Kickboxing, v2

So this is my life these days, and I love it.  A word of advice to anyone wanting to join a gym... i.e. New Years Resolutions:  Join, but dont waste your time on the treadmills and the ellipticals.  Take the Classes!!!  I'll say it again, Take the Classes!!!!  In two months, I have lost a pant size! And oddly, my appetite has changed and my capacity has decreased back to what it was at like 6 or 7 months out (I'm a few weeks away from my two year surgiversary).  So anyway, Take the Classes.  Now, some may get great results on the machines, but nothing beats a solid hour of non-stop hard core training.  Personally, I never got that much out of a machine.  Yeah, I can do 60 minutes on an elliptical but in 11 months, I never got the results I have in the last two, when I started taking classes. When I stopped exercising regularly, I never gained weight, but I lost muscle tone and my clothes started getting tighter.  Why did I stop?  No results, boredom, etc.  So, I decided to look into other gyms that offered classes, found one close to home and the rest will be history.  53 more lbs to goal.  That seems so easy...but as you all know, it can be pretty hard.  But I figure if I keep at it, in two more months I'll be that much closer...and two months after that...maybe at goal!!! 

This of course, has caused even more skin issues.  Sigh.  But overall, it's a small price to pay for feeling this great.
