picking apples & sweating it out

So I finally made it to the gym on Friday, 2 sneakers and all! I decided to try the "Body Attack" class, promising me a high cardio sports inspired workout.  Not only did it deliver on its promise, it also lived up to its name.  During the course of the workout, I literally felt like my body was under attack.  Ouch! My fellow classmates were all in tip top shape with matching gym outfits, barely breaking a sweat (there was even Mary-Kate and Ashley lookalikes) while I was huffing and puffing with sweat pouring down my beet red face.  Let's just say it made Zumba look like a walk in the park.  I woke up this morning feeling worse than the night I drank 2 bottles of wine, my body aching all over.  But guess what body? I don't give up that easily! After a day of rest, I will be back at the gym tomorrow morning, proudly sweating it out for all to see!

  5. You look so cute! Nice feminine outfit.

    Exercise is great, but don't overdo it. Working too hard can risk injury. We need to build up to real intense workouts.

  7. What a nice background! Totally goes with your dress...

    I feel like that sometimes in the advanced yoga classes. Though the instructor says don't compare yourself to the others, it's hard not to! Haha They're all lean and can do headstands like they belong in cirque du soleil...

One of my daily joys is reading the lovely comments you leave. It may take a day or two (or three, depending on how hectic life gets!) but I will stop by your slice of the blogosphere soon! xo Emily
