These are photos of my first step class in four years. That is my friend Michelle Dozois on the left and on the right are my friend Betsy and my best friend Giusy. They are both in amazing shape despite Giusy's recent illness she looks hot and looked really strong in class. Do you see the people in the background looking in? They are thinking why would anyone do this to their bodies. That's me getting ready at the bottom of the post. I was so sure that I was going to puke. Michelle hadn't taught step in like 7 years and was muttering curses at Giusy for making her teach it again. I walked into the room and saw people I haven't seen in you know two babies worth of weight. A couple people looked at my rather less than stellar shape and you know just said nothing. The class was great. Michelle teaches a really fun class. After about ten minutes I thought "okay this is freakin hard". But Michelle made this class fairly simple and I was able to do a turn, a spin & a backwards touch thing. The class ended up being about 45 minutes long and she did some ab work at the end. That made me realize how weak my abs still are. I was in pain. I used to spend hours in the gym. I would do weights first and then do Michelle's class. I am happy that I made it through the 45 minutes.
Here is my update. Last week I almost trained like I should. I worked out 4 times and ran twice. I am trying to run three times a week and do 5 workouts a week.
Monday: Park workout
Tuesday: 30 Mins run/walk through South Pasadena - Lila was running coach
Thursday: 30 mins walk/run at Breakthru with some weights
Saturday: Step class
