ZUMBA!!

I am starting this new year with a new routine, Zumba!! I went to a Zumba class once before and really liked it but it never fit in my schedule. This year I am going to make it fit. This year will be all about me. I have got to get a hold of my life and do things that benefit me. That's right, this year is going to be a selfish year for me. I am going to think of me first. Zumba in now on the calendar-- and I cannot interfere with that. If I don't take care of me who will? Number one for this year is to take off this weight for a healthier me. I have to plan my meals and I am starting off with no fast food for the month of January. I know it won't be easy but I need to be tough and make new better, healthier habits.

Zumba is a Latin dance aerobic exercise. Who doesn't like to Cha Cha or Salsa, maybe a little Samba or Merenque (it's spelled right--I checked) I could do this at home but I would stop when I got tired. There is no wimping out when you are in a class. I am sore already but going to another class today. It's all about shaking your bootee. I noticed some of the girls in the class had those belly dancing hip scarf's. I can't wait until my hips are small enough to tie one around me. Wait til I get in better shape. I am so wearing one of those.

Looking so forward to a selfish me in 2013!!

  1. I don't know why I do get stuck on one post?? So, I did some Zumba classes and LOVED them. I stopped doing it because my gym decided since it was popular, they would charge an extra pound to do them. I know it's only a pound, but are you serious?!?! I do not like to be nickel and dimed!!! So, I don't do them anymore. But Monday I'm trying to start 4 times a week. Eeek. It will be hard to do it, but I will!! Let's do this!!
    You know I'm having a BIG party in August!! We will be SO Dam HOT!!!

  2. Today I need to get some housework done and then I have to meet a client at a house. This afternoon John and I are going for a bike ride. I think the weekends are the toughest for me to be good. I'm not blaming John but he eats terribly and I just keep falling for it. I need to be stronger in the will power area. I also need to make a better effort to workout even when John is home. I always think I am being a good wife by
    "hanging" with him. I'm sure he would not miss me for 30-45 minutes if I told him I needed to work out. I don't seem to mind stopping what ever I am doing to play a quick game on the computer--just pretending to be checking email.

  3. I know, it's so true!! I play a lot of spider solitaire!!! But you have to do it for you! Pete is constantly going to the gym. And yes, it pisses me off. And we've had a couple arguments about it. Well I have, not him. He always says, ok, I won't go. Then I feel bad for making him cancel the gym when I know it's good for him and he loves it!! So, yes, it's been a change to our lifestyle, but it's a change that's good and healthy. I want him to be around, and he looks better than ever! So do it for John, tell him you have to go for 45 minutes so you can be around for years!!!!!
