So many people have given me nothing but positive encouragement the last few months. I thank you so much :)
Tonight I tried a zumba class. I went in with an open mind and a desire to try and burn some serious calories! This is for me. I knew I needed this.
I'll admit the first 10 minutes were rough. what the *bleep* did I get myself into? I am not a spring chicken and I can't move like that!... I looked around at the other ladies in the class (close to 50 women I think) I realized it didn't matter what I couldn't do tonight. I will get there one day. Some of ladies were seasoned Zumba masters and mastered every step of footwork, some were grandmas and were about 2 steps behind the instructor, some were in shape some were not.. but they were all moving and huffing and puffing right along with me. :) If Grandma can do the grapevine, so can I! So I pushed through and began to enjoy every bit of it.
I think next week will get easier having done some of the moves this week. Every time I just about had the hands and footwork down, the lady changed to something else. :(
I don't want to jinx it, but dare I say I found an exercise I actually enjoyed and wanted more of? holy crap. I admitted it out loud. It must be true :) We'll see how my body feels tomorrow lol
Goodnight all! I feel I earned a good rest... Too bad Maddox is too young to understand that!
