Quick Recap

Hey everyone! I have been SUPER DUPER busy this weekend (hence the lack of posting). Ive been busy chasing around Makenzie (who is walking now) and then I helped throw a couples baby shower for all of our church group and friends last night. So Saturday was spin, train back & bis, then getting organized for the shower which basically took all afternoon/night. It was lots of fun hanging out with everyone...minus watching them all eat cake and lasagna while I had my chicken and salad and a grumbly tummy. But it is what it is and I choose this path. Then, today was teaching Sunday school, church service, train chest & tris, tutoring, and chasing after M some more. Ive gotten all my workouts in, meals have been good, hitting macros, all that jazz.

In other exciting news - Mandy let me borrow her Go Wear Fit so all I had to do was pay for the software to upload it. Yay! Today is the first full day I've been wearing it since it came in the mail yesterday afternoon. I'm excited to see what all my body is doing. Oh! And exciting news #2....I should be getting my suit sometime this week!!!!! It gets shipped tomorrow!!!!!!!

Spin with…SEINFELD???

So, I went to cycle tonight for my cardio and there was a sub in for one of my usual favorite spin gals. Oh boy! This sub was the WEIRDEST one yet...well almost, as one time the sub was literally a woman whose alter ego is a small Southern town Baptist preacher and was yelling at us that we could "do it-EH" the whole time. Anyways. This sub totally reminded me of Jerry Seinfeld - a dorkier, less-amusing version. He had the same nose, same dark hair with receding hairline, and just overall goofy appearance. He was wearing white knee-high socks with high-tops. Shorts that came mid-thigh in that old-school swishy material all track outfits were made of in the 90s. He had his handle bars all the way down, not adjusted properly at all. AND kept calling the seat a "chair". I thought I was in trouble and in for a TERRIBLE class. But it ended up not being too bad. I'm almost wondering if he is some dorky friend of the typical instructor who got suckered into covering her class last minute. The music and drills were similar to what she uses just a lot more basic. It was one song = climb, next song = quick steady pace, lather, rinse, repeat with an occasional sprint and breakaway. Luckily, it still made for a decent endurance ride and got the job done for sufficient carido for the day - and a good laugh in the process. Don't worry, I was nice and kept the giggles in my head. 


Time to log off and hang with Peter....and watch the season premiere of Greys Anatomy tonight!
