I went to my first ever Turbo Kick class tonight. O.M.G. My dear, sweet friends kept telling me it's lots of fun and not that bad. Silly me. I listened to friends who are weight loss rock stars and/or basically live at the Y. Genius, Mama. Especially since this is the first workout I've done in about a thousand years. It was basically awesome. Besides Turbo Kicking my butt, it taught me a few things.
- I need more slacker friends. :)
- You really can't hide your chub when you're jumping up and down in workout clothes in a room full of mirrors.
- I'm way more out of shape than I thought... and I'd have guessed the Pillsbury Dough Boy and I were pretty even in that category.
- I really need a pedicure. And a tan. I think that if I had a tan, my embarrassingly beet-red face wouldn't be quite as noticeable. Seriously, I looked like Mario Batali after an extra-intense episode of Iron Chef where the secret ingredient is habanero peppers.
So, now after a lot of water, a long hot shower, a handful of Tylenol and some quality time with my BFF, the massaging Tempur-Pedic bed, I'm off to sleep. DKG has an early start tomorrow and I'm betting he'll need to roll me out of bed before he leaves. I'm sure not going to be getting out on my own. And after that? I'll have the great fun of donning a swimsuit for the first time in nearly a year to take my little Fish Kumquat to her very first swimming lesson! And I thought today was humbling...
Oh, and I'm going back for more torture Turbo Kicking on Wednesday. Hey, I never said I was smart!
It was great to have you join us! See you Wednesday!!
ReplyDeleteDon't be hard on yourself. Give turbo a couple of weeks, and you to will grow to love it. We all jiggle, we all need a tan, and a pedicure... that's why we're in turbo, to look a little hotter this summer :) See you Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteYou crack me up!! I did some of Jill's DVDs over the summer and want to get back into it. (The Firm) At least at home no one is watching and there's no mirrors :) I think it's awesome you're going though and sooooo wish there was a Y closer to us
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you're coming back!! I really does get easier the more you go! Great job for being brave and hanging in there in the front row for awhile!
ReplyDeleteI'll be one of your slacker friends ;)
ReplyDeleteGood Luck!
