And one, and two...

After months and months and MONTHS of my friends begging me to go to the exercise classes they have at the church - I FINALLY went for the first time this morning.  It's from 9:00 - 10:00.  The problem... that's just TOO stinking early for me!  I know that most people think that's CRAZY!  The problem is, a lot of times, my boys aren't even up and moving by that time.  (Well, in time for us to all get ready and to the class by 9:00.)  My family has always been on a later schedule than most.  Which I'm okay with since I'm a night owl... but it's never been conducive for exercise class.

But I FINALLY went.  (Tony was home this morning so he stayed home with PK and Logan who were both still sleeping and I snuck out with Alex.)  It was step aerobic day.  Heather did a FANTASTIC job as the teacher.  Since I've really amped up my cardio, I was pretty much able to keep up with her - which I was super proud of.  But I'm sure I looked TERRIBLE!  ha ha.  This was my first time ever do step aerobics.  My coordination - not so great.  It was fun though.  I was EXHAUSTED by the end.  And then she went into a 15 minute ab workout.  That JUST. ABOUT. KILLED. ME!! 

The best things about going this morning:
1 - My main exercising was now done for the day!  Wahoo!
2 - It was SUPER fun to be with friends!  Even with Cheryl pridefully mocking me for ACTUALLY being up early!
3 - I got a REALLY, REALLY good workout in.  Better and longer than I've been getting at home.
4 - The fresh air on the walk to and from was awesome!
5 - I was awake and ready to start the day full of lots of energy (despite the fact that Heather tried to kill me.)

The worst things about going this morning:
1 - Now they're going to expect me to go every morning - (not knowing this was a one time thing.) ha ha
2 - It was too early.
3 - It was too early.
4 - It was too early.
5 - It was TOO STINKIN' early!!

So we'll see what happens - but truly, nothing beats working out with friends!!  Great start to a great day!
