Went to another class today at the Y. This one was called Body Reform. I was (again) intimidated because the description is " an intense, interval-based class that combines bursts of cardio and strength training to improve endurance and build muscle " intense was the word that scared me. I sucked it up, dragged a friend with me and we went to class. This one was hard, but good. I was dripping with sweat within the first 10 minutes, but that's good right?
I will say that I avoided fitness classes for years for fear of being the fat kid in class and not being able to keep up. I have to say that I am glad I went yesterday and today, and I will continue to go. There are people all ages and sizes. I might be slower now, but that is because I have 70lbs of extra weight that I am carrying around. If any skinny person wears an extra 70lbs of weight on themselves, they would be slower too. I have to keep telling myself that.
Oh, and I am down a belt notch!! wahoo!!! hopefully soon I will out of the 18's and into the 16's. :)
