Spinning Like a Top

On July 4th, I started the day with a spinning class which has you on a stationary bike for an hour pushing yourself at different levels of resistance. Yes, it’s hard, but it’s rewarding, too. I remember when I first started doing these spinning classes, I was so out of breath at times I thought I’d pass out and fall off the bike. Later that day, I went to a barbeque where I was able to enjoy eating everything I wanted. I just limited my portions. (Yup, Weight Watcher’s is really working, people!) The next day I weighed in at 2.6 pounds less. Wow! I’ve found that when I eat food with the points that are assigned to me for the week, in conjunction with exercise, I lose more. Exercising has become a big part of my diet. I work out for 40 minutes every day at lunch time; twice a week I do boot camp and take a spinning class. In our Weight Watcher’s weekly meetings, they encourage us to eat healthy and exercise. I know it may sound corny, but I feel so much more in tune with my body after losing 10.8 pounds. I have more energy and the motivation to continue to lose more.
