Happy Friday!

At my second "Get Started" session at the Y yesterday I was introduced to some of the weight machines. Fun stuff. Thankfully, my appt got cut off a little early because Mike had to go give a talk for some funding thing. I then went to the elliptical machine... and very quickly felt like a loser because I was huffing and puffing after only a few minutes. I made myself last ten... but then I went home. I realize that it'll take a little time doing it consistently for me not to get winded and sweaty so fast... I know it's normal to get tired faster when you're just getting started. But still... I felt silly. Oh well.

Today I'm going in earlier than the last few days. I want to get in some cardio before yoga class. My goal today is 20 minutes, but keeping the intensity down pretty low so I can last that long. Then I'll go down to the Gentle Yoga class. I know it'll be full of elderly ladies, but oh am I looking forward to it. My back and neck could use some good gentle stretching.

I didn't think I'd be quite so wiped from spending a little time at the gym. Although, to be fair, it is "girl time" this week as well. So I know that's got something to do with it. And I ran out of my iron supplement and didn't get more until last night. So taking all those things together, I suppose it's not so strange.

Krissie - how's the plan with your brother going? Hope all is well! Off to the gym for me.
