jump right in

I have officially survived my first week of the semester. Boy, am I exhausted!

I decided that I would just jump right into my new routine with both feet. So I started a new exercise routine this week, too. I've been walking 3 nights a week with my wonderful friend Sarah, but the walking just doesn't seem to have the same effect that it used to have. So I decided to join a gym that has classes. I know that I will go to classes.

So on Monday, I taught one class and then did some work at home, then went to Pilates. It was HARD, but really fun!

Then Tuesday I could barely move, but I had a super busy day! I had 2 Kindermusik classes, then piano lessons until about 6:00. I cooked dinner, walked with Sarah, showered, and fell in bed.

Wednesday: 3 KM classes, more piano lessons, cooked dinner, worked on the computer, crawled to bed.

Thursday 3 KM classes, worked on the computer, sat down to eat lunch and fell asleep for about 30 minutes, more work, then did an open house at a preschool. Practically had to be carried to bed.

This morning, I got up and went to a Body Pump class at the gym. It was SO HARD but super fun. I went with a friend and she and I were both hanging onto the stair rail for dear life after class. It was SO hard to go down the stairs!!!! It was like one leg alone was too weak to hold me up! :)

Anyway, today I have more work to do and I need to figure out something for dinner. Tomorrow I have a class in the morning, Sunday is church...I'm feeling like I'm not going to have much free time this semester. Things will settle down, though...right?

I know how you feel about classes doing more for you. I just joined the Y a couple months ago and I love the Pilates and cycling classes. I wish I could go more than 2 times a week but it's a great balance and usually I am sore for a few days, so it's worked out to have breaks between them. I was doing exercise videos at home before that but boy did I feel like they did NOTHING when I started classes! Good for you for jumping in like that!
