When I take spin classes, I feel good. I feel strong and capable. I don't think about being fat in a group of skinny people. I don't feel self conscious because I can't keep up. I feel good. This is not a feeling I get when I run. Don't get me wrong, I like running. I feel good when I run. But I do feel self-conscious. Not so with spin. I can get into a rhythm and into the music and just feel the ride.
So I'm definitely hoping to throw some spin classes into my workout. I think it's good to mix it up, a little running, a little biking. I also want to check out a barre class.
Very sweaty but feeling good!
On a different note, I had a great conversation with the dietician at work today. We have a dietician who visits our clinic and does cooking demonstrations with the families and kids. It's really fun to see the kids chopping veggies and passing out smoothies. I was talking to her about my recent tummy troubles and she gave me some recommendations for some supplements to try. She explained why I have carb cravings, such as craving rice for dinner all the time. I have been having so much tummy trouble that I am having trouble sticking to anything I would define as a balanced diet. If I can get the tummy trouble under control, I hope to begin to reintroduce a balanced diet with more veggies and protein. She also made an amazing carrot-ginger soup that I definitely want to try to make at home.
That's all for now friends!!
