My bum is bruised!

Yes - I've been gone for a while. I took a break from blogging as I was trying to figure out things in life. I was laid off along with my colleagues mid-March, and I've had a busy seven weeks since... I've been angry, been sad, thought about new options, stressed about finding work, decided to let the universe lead me to where I should go, relaxed, spend time with friends, worked out... basically kept on living.

And as everyone in my life told me, it all worked out. I'm starting a new position at an exciting, growing company in a whole new industry. It will be a challenge, but I am ready for that. Only three more days of "just being" before I start living in the 9-5 world.

This morning I was at the gym for my usual butt-kicking with Claire, and she suggested I join her in a spin class. I thought she was teaching it, but there she was, pedaling away right beside me.It was tough - I'm not a big biker - but after the first 25 minutes, I really started to enjoy it. I've discovered that's my endorphin point for cardio I don't love - after 25 minutes I start feeling really good and energized. I was glued to my seat a number of times when everyone around me was standing up, but I never stopped pedaling. Probably one of the reasons my butt is now bruised from the bike seat - ha!

I thought I'd totally hate it, so I'm surprised that I ended up enjoying it. Anyone want to hit up a spin class with me one early morning?
