Hello Everyone! This last week has been really good. I started getting back to the gym on a regular basis and feel really great about that. It's a positive thing that I need in my life right now. So on Thursday I decided to do Pilates at the gym and that was an interesting but fun. I definitely needed to get into some group exercise and to start working on firming up my jelly belly...lol. Pilates went well so on Friday I did Zumba Toning and then Hoop Dance. All three classes I found fun but especially the Zumba. Funny thing is my body used to be able to move like that but not anymore so hopefully I will be shaking and jiggling my rear end in a good way soon.
By Friday afternoon I was feeling the pain and stiffness and then I went bowling for a High School fundraiser Friday night and was really hurting when I left there at midnight. Come Saturday morning I couldn't hardly move and couldn't help but make my own squeaking noises every time I had to use them sore muscles...lol. My husband found this very funny and teased me.
On Sunday I was only a little achy now and then and was doing much better but wished I had at least done some walking on Saturday instead of just sitting around licking my wounds. Today I went to the full Zumba class and realized how fast that skinny string bean instructor actually goes....lol. She moves like the speed of light and boy did I get a workout trying to keep up. She was really proud of me and said so at the end of the class. I never gave up and kept moving regardless of whether I was making the right steps or not. Good thing America's Funniest Home Video wasn't there cuz they would have had a good show. I burned 782 Calories during that hour of Zumba class then I did 25 minutes on the recumbent cross trainer. Woohoo! I have met all of my targets today and did so by 5pm which was totally sweet! I hope you have had a good day...chat soon.
