Dine and Punishment

Like you, I indulged a bit over the post holiday season.  Now, don't kid yourself....you know you had that extra glass of wine or second piece of cheesecake.  It was the holiday season!  You couldn't help yourself!  And neither could I.  But now...it's TIME TO PAY THE PIPER.  Or.... it's time to get your fat butt in gear.  The truth hurts.

Yup, even fitfreak has those times when the jeans are a little snug and the scale tips into the bad numbers.  So, in an effort to scrape those pounds off, (and I mean scrape!)  my BFF suggested a bikini bootcamp class at a local gym.  No problem she said....some spinning, some weights, some abs.  Right.  I can handle that!  I'm a trainer and a spin instructor for god's sakes!  This should be a walk in the park.  

It was PURE HELL.  From the moment I got in there until the moment I left I could feel every muscle in my body screaming.....no, no, no!  I sweated, grimaced, pushed myself past any point of complacency, I cried (ok, I didn't actually cry...but you get the drift).  It was an amazing workout, it was exactly what I needed and I look forward to doing it again. Who knows, maybe by bikini season those holiday fat pads will be a thing of the past!   Giddy up.....it's time to get in shape!
