Battle of the Fans

I got a new battery for my heart rate monitor today. It's going to keep me honest. Too bad I didn't have it before spin class this morning. Class felt really hard. I think it was because I was being grumpy at all the people who like having the fans on. I don't mind the air moving around in the room, I just don't like it blowing directly on me. I lost the battle today and it gave me an ear ache.

Trying Something New

I took a master spin class today for continuing education credit toward my certification renewal. It was a great, sweaty class about using spin for strength training. The instructor, Jim Nugent, went off on a tanget about weight-loss while discussing pacing and heartrates. He and I spoke after class and he gave me a challenge to work at a lower intensity for a longer period of time over the next twelve weeks. I have nothing to lose and love to spin so I promised to e-mail him regarding my progress. This isn't a new concept, but one I'd like to try on the bike.

Flux

I've decided not to be discouraged. My stats have remained the same and I did spin twice last week. So, this week's number just means my body is in flux.
