Spinning, Day 2

Well, here's the report on the day 2 of spinning class.

It was easier. Significantly. The instructor was not as much of a maniac, and in fact, much much nicer. She helped me adjust the bike, and told me the secrets to class. The secret is when she yells "make it harder!" it is only a suggestion. I don't have to. I went as hard as I could manage in the class, sweating profusely, and on the verge of passing out/vomiting. My legs are not nearly as sore today (still having the ability to walk like a human), and I am feeling good.

I find the hardest part of dieting and exercising NOT to be the dieting and exercising, but the socializing. Socializing generally means eating and drinking. Those are the two hardest things to curb. Tonight I am going out with friends to the NINJA restaurant in NY. I know that means I need to spend an extra 45 minutes on the treadmill, because the food will be delicious.

I have not lost much in body weight, but I have lowered by body fat percentage by 3% in a week, and increased my muscle mass. Only 1 week so far, so lots more to report in the future.
