The good news? I made it through a spinning class last night (7 APs for 50 minutes!) and while I nearly died, I soldiered through. The bad news? My butt is so sore. Like I can barely sit, sore. My advice to anyone to decides to take a spin class? STRETCH before AND after, both arms AND legs. And take Advil and a hot, hot shower right after. I'm only slightly crippled today because I took the aforementioned precautions.

It was a really small class. Two people. Which was cool but also weird. I was really struggling toward the end but when it was over, I felt great. And when I looked down, I thought, holy shit, my legs are getting buff! Which is a rare thing for me to feel. So I am going to be working spin class into my exercise rotation from now on, 2 times a week, at most. The other two will be elliptical and perhaps a yoga class, if I'm feeling nasty.

But eating myself into a sickhole and then trying to curb the damage at the gym is not a great idea. When the fuck are the holidays over???

And guess who got a wad of Ghiradelli chocolate and a .25 lb chocolate Santa from their Secret Snowflake? SIgh. I'm totally giving it to my therapist tonight... I must dispose of the chocolate Santa in some way. It's sort of creeping me out, the way it's staring at me...
