The Chronicles of Spin Class/Humiliation

I've heard confessing your sins can be cleansing. Of course, I took it too far when I announced to my spin instructor that I ate too many valentine donuts the day before. She immediately put me on a bike in the front and simply said, "you shouldn't have told me that."

I started pedaling. For the first 10 minutes, I felt a little queasy as the lard rolled around in my stomach. I eased up my gear a little...and she saw me.

"GIVE ME MORE, SARA!"

The class laughed. I pedaled harder and put on more gear. I took a deep breath; she mistook it as a yawn...

"SARA, ARE YOU BORED???"

"No ma'am!" I panted.

"I SMELL DONUTS!"

This went on for the duration of class. To add insult to injury, a camera crew showed up during class to film a commercial. They zoomed in on me- no makeup- no hair products-in a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle t-shirt-getting reamed out for my Valentine sins. Not awesome. This is one of the few times in life I don't want to be a star.


All because of this little temptation....

and my big mouth...

HAHA!! Episodes like that have happened to me thanks to my "hilarious" husband. I do this circuit training class a lot and one day he was there and told the instructor I said the class is easy. WHAT??? Not true! AND the rest of the class (and subsequent classes) the instructor made sure the class was hardest for ME. He followed me around giving me heavier weights and making me do harder stuff constantly! UGH!!
