Week 3 Report

So we are getting to the "I'm getting sick of this" phase, but remember don't worry if you haven't been perfect.  The idea is to change habits that we've had for a life time so regardless of how well or bad you've done DON'T QUIT!!!!

To Zumba or not to Zumba

I decided I needed to try something different for for my workout. They offered a new Zumba class at the gym. Totally excited, I signed up. I know I'm not the best dancer in the world but I didn't think I was that uncoordinated. Wrong! Doing the shimmying and shaking (and flapping for me) just makes things jiggle that I don't know I want jiggled. So I tried Zumba again willing to give it another try. Still uncoordinated, still flapping and still jiggling but it is fun (If I don't look at myself in the mirror as I'm doing it - that's just disturbing!).
So, is it Zumba or not? We'll see.

V-I-C-T-O-R-Y

I want you to know I had 2 victories today. First one is that I ran for 15 min. straight for the first time!!! My personal best before was only 3 min. (I know that's sad). My other victory is that I went to the store and they had these cream cheese brownies that were to die for. My mouth was just salavating just looking at them. I picked them up to put in my cart and I said , "NO" (it was really out loud) and I put them back. I call these big VICTORIES!

Spin class...is it working?

So I know you have been wondering, "How do I know if spin class is working for me?" Well here are a few clues to help you know if spin class has been successful (in no particular order).

---you continually curse out the instructor (in your mind of course) and wonder 'what kind of crazy person actually enjoys this!'
---you no longer care where your massive sweatdroplets land (if they hit the towel....great)
---speaking of towels, you start debating about whether you should bring a bath towel next time (instead of the cute daintly little face towel)
---you find yourself wishing you could just sit down and ride for a while!
---your gluts, hamstrings, calfs, quads, forearms, biceps, neck, back, and of course your feet are screaming 'what are you doing to me!'

There you have it, just a few clues to let you know if your spin class has been effective.

PS Barbara I know you can't wait for your wound to heal so you can get back in that spin saddle again!!!! ;)

love you all!!!
