Spinning & Weekly Weigh In

Just got home from the spin class from hell. I drove up to West Hollywood to participate in the Crunch-a-thon for Augie’s Quest (ALS research) taking place at Crunch Fitness locations all across the country today. While I was there, I decided to be brave and take the spin class taught by Bob Harper, one of the trainers on The Biggest Loser.

While I was there, I also saw Shay from season 8 of the show. She was also there for the class and is doing GREAT! She’s down 150 pounds so far. We actually had a really nice conversation for about 15 minutes before the class started, and the she saw me again after the class and asked me how it went.

Weelllllllllllllllll, everything was going really well up until about 10 minutes before the end of the class. We really turned things up a couple of notches for the final push and I ended up having to get off the bike and puke … just a little bit. After that though, I hopped right back on the bike and finished the class.

I got to speak with Bob for a couple of minutes after the class and he seemed downright giddy that he’d made me puke. He and Shay actually high-fived one another, and he said he was going to have to tweet Jillian to let her know that he made someone puke.

Even though I puked, the class was still really good. I had a great time, got a help a great cause, and burned ~600 calories in the process. I’m think I’m going to take a nap now.

Before that though, I need to give you an update on my weigh-in this week. I was down another 2.0 pounds. This means I’ve dropped 8.8 pounds in the past four weeks, and it brings my total loss up to 67.4 pounds.

Until next time …
