At the Y-M-C-A

So I'm feeling pretty good these days about my trips to the Y. I'm not there as much as I'd like, but it's better than before (which was never going), so I feel like progress is being made.

Last night, I had water aerobics - how funny was that?! I was definitely bringing the age curve down by being there, but the little old lady who teaches it is hilarious!! And we have rockin' music and most of the pool for the dozen or so who attend in the evenings, so it's lots of fun and goes by really quickly. I can feel it a bit today - but in a good way, ya know?

Speaking of this morning, I was back at the Y at 6:15 a.m. for Women on Weights. It's a special class I signed up for where you work in a small group w/ a personal trainer and they teach you how to use all the scary machines and free weights and other equipment. My trainer is Kari, and then there's just one gal in the class with me, Deb. They are way fun, and I'm pumped up about it. It's every Wednesday at 6:15 a.m. for 7 weeks - at the end of the 7 weeks, I sit down with Kari and we put together a workout plan just for me!! Totally what I need.

I'm going to hit Dick's sporting goods store today and get a resistance/training ball. I've been thinking about it - Brian has one, and I know a few things to do on it now, so I'm going to invest. I'm not going to run out and buy a whole set up of free weights or anything - hello, they won't "go" with my furtnirue - but at least the ball will be a start.

So here's the Y - it really is like they sing in the song!
