Spin Fever!



I am so proud of myself!
After years of writing it on my New Year's Resolution sheet,
I have finally attended my first ever Spin class!
(And this is not at all what I look like in the pic, but would definitely like to!)
I had so many great "instructors" around me telling me how high
the seat should be, where the handlebars should be, how sore I would be today, etc.
(And yes, I am incredibly aware of my tailbone today!)
It was a lot of information, but one thing I failed to catch on to was how the gear works, so after messing with it for the first 20 minutes of class, I finally figured out that Righty was Tighty!
After that, the class was brutal!
I, clearly, had brought a towel 3 sizes too small and will need to invest in a beach towel next time to catch the torrent of sweat dripping from my body!
Oh, and a water bottle with a lid that snaps open easily is NOT a good idea in the event it falls to the ground and soaks your neighbors gym bag.
Just sayin'.
But I LOVED the music and the intensity and how hard everyone around me was working.
And I have now downloaded the Spin schedule to my Desktop page.

Aside from Spin Fever, I have a heavy heart today.
Thank God for a boyfriend who responds to my urgent texts with a 90 MPH drive with his hazard lights on at 11 PM.
Poor thing thought an intruder was in the house, but NO NO, I was just being a girl and needed someone to talk to.
I love with him with all that I can muster in my fallible, fickle, human, little girl heart.
I will say it, "He completes me" (said in the lisped voice of Sid from "Ice Age")

The Art of Talking to a Pregnant Woman

I have previously written about peoples' funny comments to me which I thought were endearing and quirky so far. This last week, some of those comments crossed into the "that's none of your business" category. Pre-pregnancy I never posted one picture or video of what I do at CrossFit. Frankly, it's awkward to me to ask my coach, "Can you video me making funny faces and grunting while lifting this man wight? Thanks." But since I'm still lifting and doing CF during my pregnancy, I am proud of myself and wanted to show "the world" (i.e. Facebook) what it looks like for a pregnant woman to do CF. (b/c it's becoming more and more comical) With my first video, I had all positive comments. Lots of women my age really wish they would've continued working out during their pregnancy and vow to do so the next time around. Lots of women were so sick, they couldn't even think of working out. Since I've had s...

First Blog Ever!!!!!!!!

I have serious doubts about my current writing ability post-college; therefore, my first blog will consist of a story I wrote in my Creative Writing class my Junior year at Tech. Don't be concerned because of the seemingly violent nature of the story...it's just a story. I don't need therapy...anyway. Enjoy~ Sweat dampened Arria's flannel pajamas as her bed sheets tightened around her in a constricting hold. Arms and emotions flailed in a frenzy of anxiety and hatred. Yet amidst all the confusion, she held the gun steadily as he stood, hysterical before her. All the pain he put her through, all the love and despise that consumed her accumulated in this one moment, and just as she pulled the trigger… Arria bolted upright as she remembered the same dream, the same ending, and the same loneliness. Rain and ice pummeled the roof of her red brick house; held back only by the careless, overbearing oak trees. She stepped onto her balcony unaware of the ferocity of ...

Piercings, Puppies and Push-Ups

Yes, it has been 2 months since I've written. No, I haven't been living under a rock during that time. I admitted at the beginning of this blogging adventure that I'm not consistent with it and that it overwhelms me.  For all those non-bloggers out there, blogging is challenging. I find that I look at experiences in the light of, "Oh, my readers would like this!" or "What have I learned from this that I can write about?" Obviously, it's much easier to just coast through normal, boring days and even eventful, trying days without a time of retrospection. So, I am coming forth and admitting that I have coasted through the last 2 months, but alas, I am ready to confront life again with an inquisitive mind! For many people, inquisition is natural. For me, Questioning is NOT the norm! I take them as they are, and rarely think of them again. I forget arguments Matt & I have once apologies and forgiveness are traded. Th...
