Mission Workout: Phase 1 complete!

I joined the West Roxs YMCA tonight. Arrived at 7:30pm and enjoyed a thorough tour by Rich (who is the best welcome wagon you could ask for) before signing up and paying my joining fee.

By 8:30pm I was on the upright bike for my first workout- 22mins + 5 miles of fun. Yes, fun. One of their sets of bikes have built in screens and reactive seats + handlebars. You cycle a course like you would in real life, or at an arcade but you're powering the action! It was awesome! My butt hurt after a while though so I switched to a hilly treadmill walk for 10mins + 1.3 miles. My right IT band gave me some problems so had to stop and stretch. Also wanted to vomit after 15 mins of walking but I think this was because I was hungry (the last thing I ate was chocolate at 4pm-bad move).

Signed up for first free training session of 3. I'll be meeting Nora next Tuesday at 7am. Yes, a.m. as in ridiculously early. But she was highly praised as a trainer and I thought what the hell, this may jumpstart me back to early mornings.

So, awesome night overall (minus the nausea). Came home at 9:20pm to toast and a faux  chikin patty. Not really balanced but all my tummy could manage. Will have to work on scheduling my meals/snacks better.

Tummy feels better now and am heading to bed.  Next gym date- tomorrow after work :)
