Recovering from a weekend full of eats and treats. I'm still running and spinning, though. I'll bet I would have gained 5 pounds if I hadn't! You?

Wow that's awesome! As for being up today, it's water retention. If you hurt, you're muscles are sucking up water trying to repair themselves. My body's sucking up water too--from a margarita, a fajitadilla, and endless baskets of tortilla chips! I've gotta get this sodium out of me and be super duper diligent this week to make my goal in 9 days. Thanks for joining me on the JM dietbet. I didn't want you to feel obligated, but thought if it was working for you it would be a great one to join since the pot is so big.

You are wise to think spinning is hard. The first time I did it 3+ years ago I made the mistake of thinking it looked easy. The instructor was in his 60s and it's just pedaling a bike, right? Well it is until you crank up the tension. Riding out of the saddle was a new kind of torture. That 63 year old instructor kicked my butt that first day, but was kind and encouraging. He became my mentor and I kept taking his class until I mastered spinning. Although I'm no longer a master, I performed decently yesterday, and want to master it once again. My mentor, Mike, is still there but is on vacation this week. He's 67 now. I can't wait to surprise him next week when he gets back. I haven't seen him for a couple of years. His music choices really get me going too. Hard classic rock.

Elliptical and swimming were sure to help. Hope you enjoyed Changs. I ALWAYS look at the menus online beforehand. You never know what's in their food unless you do. Went to our fave Mexican restaurant last night, Jorges Tequila Factory. Happy hour margarita, nacho, and a deep fried ice cream which looked like it was made with a quart of ice cream for dessert. YIKES! Our gym membership is supplemented by our health insurance and found out our old gym is on it now. Scott and I went to spin class this morning and got a butt whippin.' You'll see me spinning more now that I can go to my old class!
