Wow

This class is going to be really difficult! Gone are the days when you could just get an "Easy A" by taking a PE. My dad and aunt (dad's sister) would both be proud...they are both retired Physical Education teachers.

All I know is I saw, gulp, CALCULATIONS. And I don't mean "take this and multiply by 2", I mean something involving an x, a Q and a square root-oh my! There was a reason I got a C in Precal at UNC:) (And I was a Mathematical Decision Science Major-Ha!) Granted, that was a quick summer course, and I did make an A in my stat class, but still...

We have quite a bit to do within the first week, and thankfully the class has been up since Friday, so I went ahead and watched a few lectures (introductory) and took my resting heart rate this morning, even though I cannot enter it in until tomorrow. It was 59. I took it twice, to be sure. Although, since I was "timing" my looking at my clock and waiting for it to change, I probably missed that very first second, and so I might just take it to 60. Not sure if that is a good, or "average" resting heart rate.

I also watched the "testing" videos, meaning these are the ones that show you what you will have to do when you go to campus to be "pre-screened". The good news is, based on the video, I might actually be able to do a few push-ups. The bad news is, there will be 49 other people there:( And we have to wear shorts-dear Lord, I hope people wear sunglasses to the gym!

And the crucnches looked VERY uncomfortable. I have ALWAYS put my hands behind my head to support my head or neck. Actually, I take that back, I have had both arms straight out to do "crunch pulses". I just want to be sure I don't have a sore neck.

The class does not technically open until tomorrow, so there is one other thing that I am kind of unsure about-whether we need a book or not. The syllabus states "No text required", but in the opening lecture, she mentions a book, and there are also "chapters" to be read, with page numbers, within the "schedule" part. I guess we shall see tomorrow. Wow, I will be a reading machine this semester!

Oh and we have to go ahead and start working out this week, and submitting our data. I am not sure if I am going to do the wii workout with Mya, or my Denise Austin dvd, or go ahead and begin her workouts. Although, for that, the dvd's would be better. I can't workout to a laptop:) One fun part will be that my husband is going to workout with me-so we can both lose weight!

Yesterday, I ate a Chick-Fil-A sandwich for lunch and for supper, we had New York Strips, corn and homemade fries. This morning, I am putting chili in the crockpot and enjoying my last day before school begins!
