Daily Sweat: 45 min. spin class, ab work, 1,100 yard swim
Thanks for all your funny comments about my pumpkin pie incident. It isn’t just the pie these days; all sweets are haunting me. The mini Halloween candies are so cute and tasty and they’re just a bite, right? NO. All those bites add up to a stomach ache and spoiled workouts. No more candy bowl!
To work off the candy and pie, I went to spin class tonight! I haven’t been to spin class in a real long time because I’ve been cycling outside, but the weather here in the PNW is 50 degrees, windy and rainy, so inside it is!
Yep, class was hard and I’m out of bicycling shape. Sweated like a pig and loved it in every way. I needed that swift kick in the butt to realize how out of shape I’m in to motivate me to get BACK into shape.
I had some time to kill until the pool opened, so I did some ab work. Gotta work on that 6 pack, right?
I hopped in the pool for 1,100 yards of arm burning fun. My arms are a little sore from my weight lifting yesterday and they sure loved the fact I was making them do stroke after stroke. But if you’ve read my blog for a bit, you know that I like the pain. It hurts so good.
A few things I’ve been meaning to mention:
- Patrick has pulled together inspirational quotes and such on his Inspiration page. A lot of people contributed to it and reading through each person’s piece of motivation, you can really feel the passion behind it. Go check it out>>
- I’m participating in P’s Not Your Average Adventure Race. I have something up my sleeve for this and I hope it works, cause I want to WIN!
- Last and certainly not least, HELLO to any new followers! Thanks for visiting :)
Megan, I hate to be the one to tell you this, but there is a typo in your second bullet. You wrote you have something up your 'sleeve' and you meant to type something up your 'wig'
ReplyDeleteI want to collectively punch all "fun size" candies in the neck. Belly aches are not fun!
i love sweating like a pig. belly aches? not so much! luckily i've been really good at holding out on buying halloween candy but i know i'm going to have to pick up at least one bag for trick or treaters and likely more'll end up in my mouth than in the bags!
ReplyDeleteIt's getting cold here as well... I guess it's that time of the year. They are predicting a colder and snowier winter than usual for us. Have you heard what you have in store?
ReplyDeleteI have no problem passing up all candy except for those that involve chocolate. Luckily I eat dark chocolate so it's healthy. :)
ReplyDeleteNice job on the workout. I have to get to the pool sometime soon... gahhh
ReplyDeleteI read this 'No more candy bowl!' and instantly thought of 'More Cowbell' and really dont' know why.
ReplyDeleteBut go ahead and try it. Say it in your best Christopher Walken impression....'No More Candy Bowl'
Now I'm getting an ab workout from laughing.
