Im really enjoying the classes!! i get frustrated because I struggle with some of the positions but that should get better with losing weight. Abs kill me!! Im probably at 20% of what the instructor does.... sad I know.. but it has to get better! Had a visit from Trainer guy while in the class today. Hadn't seen him for probably going on 6 weeks. He was telling the aerobics instructor that I was a regular at the gym... now that sounds odd.. guess I am or have been for 12 weeks now!!

When I first started back working out I felt like I had lost ALL flexibility in ALL areas! It was hard to twist (lower back started hurting because of this), it was hard to bend, it was hard to get off the floor!! But now my range of motion has improved dramatically!! Its really amazing how quickly you can change your body!

Now lets see what I can get into this weekend!!!
