So...

I joined the Gym last weekend. Since then, I have been there twice for 2 different classes. On tuesday I attended a yoga class and wow, if you weigh as much as I do, that is one INSAINE strengh training work out. I must say though, most of them that were in the class were snot nosed B*tches. I am very happy I was there with my sister in law because I would have felt so awkward and out of place. It is already hard to not feel out of place when you go to a gym while you are heavy and everyone around you is skinny and in great shape. Well, I told myself I was going to stick with it this time, so I did. Last night I attended the "Salsa Aerobics" class. It was a blast! I met some really nice people and the class was not only a good work out, but it had people laughing all through the class, even the class instructor. It is actually very fast salsa dancing. I didn't realize what kind of dancing salsa actually is. Well, it turns out it is some very "dirty dancing". It is fun because you kind of feel like a bit of an idiot when you are stroking your head and shaking your butt around. And, WOW, was it ever a good workout. You know it's a good workout when even the instructor is soaked in sweat by the end. And that man is in excellent shape! He is also quite a nice piece of "eye candy" too. Most of  the time, when I have ever exercised before, it felt like work. So, it felt more draining. This was so much fun, I actually felt great after class. The hour went by really fast too. That is definately a class that I plan on going to any time I can. It made working out feel easy, even though I was dying to take a shower after it was over.
