Taking it up a notch or 20

I know everyone is dying to know how my workouts are coming, right?  Well, this a.m. I did Fitness Fanatics.  My friend Brenda from Bootcamp, my regular venue, talked me into this once a month get bikini ready class that is 2 hrs. long.  Barring a month long burning bush, I am done with bikini's, but it would be nice to put a suit on with my kids and not have to use an under girdle.  Even still, I have to contend with spider veins.  No chin ups for that.  No matter how many cute emails I get or poems are written about aging gracefully wearing purple, there's only one image I can conjure up.  My grandmother reading at the beach in her stretched out skirted bathing suit wearing impossibly large men's reading glasses from the 70's she probably got at a yard sale, her outstretched legs looking like an interstate highway map.  I'm not knocking embracing old age...ok, I'm knockin' it.  Anyway, it's a fact, accepting it or not is really irrelevant.  
Back to class.  I was hyperventilating thinking about an exercise class that would be 2 hours long.  I envisioned 15 super fit women going cardio crazy yelling BRING IT ON! and all kinds of other ridiculous gym quips while I dragged by backside from one circuit to the next.  Well, slap my pants if I didn't end up lovin' that class.  There were women there at all stages of fitness getting after it and I found the time going by quickly.  I was STARVING by the end, but I managed not to screech into the 1st donut place.  I will probably not be able to get out of bed tomorrow, or get on the toilet, but come next month, sign me up sister!
Stats
Mood: 7, pretty consistently for the last 4 days.  All of a sudden coming up with 100 ways to make money, scouring through blogs for creative inspiration, I have been almost manic. Except with the cooking and cleaning...uh, it's such a drag!
Stress: 0, not that the outside influence isn't there, I am just not taking the bait.
Energy: 7, I feel strong today (this week).  I am in my Buffing Cycle, so this time of the month I need to be upping exercise, which is logical
Hunger: Average actual hunger, but I am always eating carbs in my mind that I am not actually ingesting.
Sleep: I have been tired this week.  But I have been staying up late too and getting woken up by my son who has been sick.  I'm actually starting to fade right now, and it's only 7:30 pm!
