Tell me ... who's idea was it to go spinning at 10.30 on a Sunday morning? Actually, it may have had something to do with me but forget about that and pretend it was all Jayne's idea lol. This mornings spin class was a bit of a killer. Apart from being still half asleep when it started (I only got out of bed at 9.45) it was a much tougher class than the one we did on Monday. Much, much tougher ... although more the kind of class I have done in the past with more changes in speed, pressing on the arms and hanging left, right, forwards and backwards off the saddle. Much more interesting and more of a challenge. I do like spinning and my god, it does feel like such an accomplishment once you have finished it in a good but slightly masochistic way.

Yesterday my eating wasn't as good as it could have been. I spent forever shopping with my mom ... I had birthday money to spend and I have treated myself to lots of new goodies. A few new tops, a new suit for work (high waisted skirt and 3/4 sleeve jacket which looks ace), some new shoes, a purse, a couple of belts, a nice underwear set and ... wait for it ... a pair of skinny jeans. Now, I always though skinny jeans were invented as some kind of torture for anyone over a size 8 but actually this particular pair look really quite nice on me so i'm thrilled about that.Oh y es. We walked quite some miles around the shops yesterday but I did eat lunch in the pub ... I had 5 bean chilli and rice which was supposedly less than 5% fat. But then I had a chinese for tea so I did consume a few more calories than I should have. I hope the spinning will have taken care of that. And also of Friday nights ice cream.

Anyway ... I have an assignment to write so I can't procrastinate here all day. We're going to my parents house for tea as well so I must get a good couple of hours writing in before then as once I have a glass of wine I will have no chance of doing anything this evening. Going to do some work now. Honest.
