Haha, notice the shoe is missing something? Yeah, couldn't un-clip so had to leave the shoe in the pedal until the good people from Breakaway Bikes came to the rescue!

It's all fun and games until
your cycle shoe gets stuck in the pedal...

Now if I could only get past teaching my first class I will be golden!

WooHoo, I'm a Spin Instructor!
Still can't believe it but it's true...I did it!
Now, need to design my first ride profile and get my feet wet teaching a class, scary and exciting all at the same time!

I Think I've Figured It Out
The Spinning Obsession that is...
I've been wracking my brain trying to get to the bottom of the how's and why's of this craze and perched atop my bike at 8:30am on a Monday morning it occurred to me!
I'm in a dark steamy room, wearing little to no clothes, rap music is blaring and I'm sweating my ass off...feels like I'm in an awesome club somewhere in the South of France!
Not sure what your experience of nightlife has been as of late but as much as I love dancing, mine has sucked. Mostly, because I refuse to wait in line -although we ladies rarely have to succumb to this- but still, the line to get into most clubs looks like a serpentine of Spanx and hair gel. Once in, most places have little to no place to lounge and so you're forced to stand balancing your cocktail hoping no one bumps into you! Finally and I say this with a heavy heart, most of the people in the clubs are kids and when I see kids I feel like an old fogie...certainly not how I want to feel especially at the ripe young age of +40!
And finally, and for me most importantly, when I leave a club, I feel old, tired and ready to crawl under covers right after I call my plastic surgeon and schedule a round of Botox.
When I leave a spin class however, I feel strong, powerful and ready to take on the world!
So there it is my friends...that aphrodisiac awesome feeling you get when you're in a club, you've let go of all your inhibitions, your eyes are closed and you don't really care who is watching or why cause you're living in your own little world wrapped up in whatever beat that's blasting around you.
That's where you want to be.
That's when you feel most powerful.
That's how you know you can accomplish anything even, squeeze into your tightest skinny jeans, your hottest little top and rock your body better than any kid muffin-topping her way through a club with a drink in her hand.
That's what Spinning is all about!
Sadly, all that's missing for me in all this is a cocktail but, there is a solution!
You can get one of these Bottle Belts at Walnut Studio and so once again, problem solved!
Spin on friends Spin on!

How I have Grown to Love
Monday's!
I know, sounds like an oxymoron but it's true...you can in fact love Monday's.
Just find what you love and make time for it on this...must dreaded day of the week.
My 10 year work anniversary is coming up so in anticipation, I had to take a few remaining vaca days...I know hard to believe but true.
So, I decided to re-brand -this is what people who have been in the Media and Marketing space for as long as I have been call change- Monday's and pack them in with all the stuff I wish I could do every day but can't cause, like most of us, I have something called a job.
Anyway, with my new found love of spinning, I've chosen to start my day with an early morning Spin class...Ahhh!

Up next a latte at my favorite coffee shop La Colombe from where, coincidentally, I did what I've always fantasied would be my most perfect profession...Blogging!
Ever wonder what those people sitting in coffee shops are doing and how are they able to do it? -Independently wealthy? -Stay at home spouses with sugar daddies/mommies -Lazy?
Nope! They are people like you and me living out their European fantasies if only for a day...OK, that was me so maybe they are all of the above but who am I to judge?
Followed by a reformer Pilates class and a deep tissue Massage...Double Ahhh!
Shopping you ask? But of course, what would a perfect Monday be without shopping!?
Exhausted but happy I returned how and even had time to whip up this Mediterranean medley of Falafel, Hummus, chopped Veggies and Pita...
Now that's what I call a Perfect Monday and now it's your turn...
You tell me, how would you spend your perfect Monday?

You Know You Are Addicted When...

So in my attempt to diversify my workout routine, I've fallen in love with spinning and joined Body Cycle Studio conveniently located at 1923 Chestnut Street.
It's definitely one of the more expensive class experiences so you can imagine my surprise when I first, scored a Daily Candy deal for 10 classes and now, found out that they are offering free classes!
