I'm going to be sore!

This morning was my first stroller fitness class. I am already feeling it. I predict that tomorrow I won't be able to walk. It feels great! The class was full of nice people. The instructor is great. She encourages us to go at our own pace and know our own limits while at the same time pushing us to go a little faster or farther or harder.

I am so glad that the class in not full of barbie moms who are fit to start with. Don't get me wrong, there are many very fit people in the class, but everyone seems real and supportive. I didn't feel like everyone was watching me hoist my 243lb behind up the hill, or taking note that I only ran half the distance that everyone else did before I had to walk. I think everyone was too busy panting and sweating to notice.

That brings me to my little triumph for the day. From last Monday I am down 6.5lbs. I know that this is only first week and weight loss will not and should not remain so rapid but it still feels good to know that I am off to a good start. I am actually looking forward to working hard in the upcoming week.

Way to go! I think I made 4 this week if I do the after supper weigh in. In the morning I'm down 6-8. You did really well. Glad the strollering was good. Mom
