Well, I have to admit that I haven't been to spin class in a couple of weeks. The instructor that taught the class that I went to annoyed me on a number of occasions and I haven't been since the last incident. Then another instructor quit, and she was in the time slot that I was planning on going to. So I talked to personal trainer today and she's going to switch me from mondays and saturdays to mondays and wednesdays so I can go on saturdays class now. I really hope they get another instructor. The one that quit was teaching like 5 or 6 classes...

Hope you find a good instructor JMcambra. I wouldn't go either if I were annoyed. I loveee my instructor. She so supportive but yet ready to kick me in the ass with a scream of "pick up the pace!" if I need it. She watches if I turn my knob or not too..hehe. Anyways really hope u find one because I really think this class is doing the most for me and will probably do the same for you. Good luck

It's kind of weird now..I'm finding that the standing up part is easier on me then just the sprinting stuff. Was soo not the case a few weeks ago..lol

I signed up for a private spinning lesson for Tuesday - an introductory/private trainer kind of thing so that I can learn the proper form etc. Very nervous!

Good Luck KarenG.

I went sunday to the class with the instructor who is annoying. And thats exactly what it was. I was bored and I know I didn't push as hard as I normally do. I was disappointed in myself, but I know that its because of the instructor. I'm usually the only person there on sundays, every once in a while theres another person that shows, and all of the other instructors have 15+ in their classes. Just goes to show, I'm not the only one that is annoyed by her!

How'd the spin lesson go?

I'm trying a new instructor on Saturday morning. Its at 9, which means I'll have to be up by 7:30-8am.....might be a toughy since I like to sleep in a little on the weekends. I'll let you all know how it goes:biggrin1:

Thanks for asking! The spinning was great! I went to one on Monday night and one this morning ... can you believe it... at 630 am - meant getting up at 545. Have I gone crazy? I don't know if I will be doing the early class again but I did sign up for anothe class on Saturday.

My butt is really really really sore. Does that get better? I found I could stand up for all of the standing parts but I am sure that my form is really bad. The teacher is really sweet and helpful though!

The butt thing does get much better, but it took a while for me, almost 3 weeks...They do sell seat covers, which I guess help, I've never tried them though. Every time I see them I tell myself I'm going to buy one, then I never do. I don't know!

How'd the spin thread get on the second page????

Oh well, I'm getting back to spin (I HOPE) tomorrow morning. I haven't been in a few weeks, but I need something else to do while I take time off from trainer and running. I hope I'm not too sore!

I'd love to know this too JM..

Ohh in my spin class last night there was one girl that purchased actual spin shoes. I didn't even know they existed. They actually lock into the peddles. Seems sooo cool. I hate the straps on your feet. They hurt my feet at times.

Oh another thing. Last night we must have did about 50 push ups also on the bike. I mean who expects to actually have your arms hurting the next day from spin class. ;)

Oh, I know. I was thinking about getting a pair, I know someone who bought them and they said it makes such a huge difference.

I have gotten seriously addicted to spinning this past month. I even got a pair of shoes which are $$$. At my spinning studio you rent them if you don't have them - nobody uses regular sneakers. I would think it would be much harder without clipping into the bike.

FYI for whoever is thinking of trying it - the butt thing does get much better!

And you like the spin shoes huh? I was trying to figure out whether I really needed them or not!

I do like them - I can't imagine spinning without.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
