Workin’ Out
How thankful I am that the BSC will be open for part of Thanksgiving Day. It will provide me with a preemptive strike against the impending belly fat from all the calories I plan to consume that day. Or, maybe it won’t help that much other than ease my guilt.

Anyone remember those commercials for “Get in Shape, Girl” from the ’80s? I used to see them all the time, but I was a kid who hated exercise so I was never really interested.
After moving in with Matt and gaining a whopping 20 pounds in one year, I decided it was time for ME to GET IN SHAPE, GIRL!!
I’ve been a fairly regular gym-goer ever since. At first I went every day but that’s dwindled down to a few times a week. Even though I don’t go all the time anymore, I thought I was in fairly decent shape.
Until TODAY.
I took a “Studio Sampler” class at the BSC and OHHH MAN!!!!! It KILLED me!!! It combined aerobics, strength training, stretching, weight training. We had to go up and down stairs, do jumping jacks, jump rope, run, and more. I am SO tired…I came home starved and ate some ravioli and string beans, changed into my jammies, and I’m about to go up to bed. And it’s 7:59 PM!!
There was definitely a part of the class where I thought I was going to have to just give up and go home…but I stuck with it, and it was a good class, so I plan to go back.

Well, I finally got a doctor to listen to me about my foot injury! Well, actually, it wasn’t even a doctor…it was a physician’s assistant. She pointed out that I had bruising going down from my shin to my foot. I have to wear a rather irksome splint. It’s not very comfortable and it was really awful during the heatwave…but I can already walk without pain! In fact, I am hoping to return to the gym today for some low impact exercise!
I already feel myself falling out of shape after 2 weeks without exercise!
