Rest Day......

Today was supposed to be my rest day but it wasn't.....

At 5:15 a.m. this morning my alarm went off and I rolled out of a warm bed to hit the YMCA to teach the morning spin class.  As I'm trying to put my socks on I could barely lift up my left leg due to the damn knot that's in my left glute.  Makes me realize that I am not indistructable.

I'm driving down RT 10 and I start thinking about what I'm going to do in class this morning.  A few seconds later I start thinking of my Dad and tears start to form in my eyes.  What the hell is this?  Where did this come from?  I'm not that tired or food deprived that I need to cry.  I just had a moment in the car and brushed it off and put my game face on.  But when I did get to the Y I had somebody say "you need to look in the mirror!".  I guess my tearing in the car led to my mascara from the previous day rolling down my face.  Nice! 

When I walk into Studio A I'm am immediately ready to go.  I can be sick, tired and very miserable but as soon as I enter the room I get this energy that makes it easy to teach.  My endorphins kick in before I even begin to ride.  I love it!

Ride is done.....Kids are off to school....Mommy is off to work to sit in a chair.  UGH!  But what did I do for fun at lunch?  Mommy gave herself some pampering.  A nice pedicure followed by an eyebrow wax.  I will spend any amount of money to have somebody rub my feet.  My damn size 11 flippers need some attention because they work so hard.  How do these small (or in my case large) feet carry our body weight?  I find it amazing that our feet work so hard when they are one of the smallest things on our body.  God should have created us to walk on our asses.  Now that would be a sight!

Food - I'm actually impressed with myself.  I have not cheated nor felt the urge to shovel a pound of M&M's down my throat.  When I see these tempting treats I just say "Nope, can't have it!" and it's that easy.  It was never that easy before.  Why now?  Maybe I'm more serious and focused now.

Enjoy the rest of the day and evening!
