Is It Day 3 or Day 4 of the Week?...

Happy Wed-Nes-Day READERS!!!!

It has been a wonderful week of laziness and quiet.

Haven’t done much fitness this week and well I care and don’t care.

My heart is still in the journey as well as my mind, which is why I have not had Chipotle, cheese and Coca-Cola every day.

I have still been logging my food and not binging.  I have gone over my calories some days but I have not gone back to high carbs, like my previous life.

I gets in a gallon of water every day and I raise my heart rate for at least 5mins…lol

Moving Forward

I love me some Kay over there @ The Kay Times and she is always telling her business on Wed-Nes-Day.  She really lets you know who she is and where her mind is.  (She doesn’t like Micheal Jackson – btw…humph) I love her anyway…HA!

So I have a few confessions to share.

In the winter I sleep with a fan on.  I close the vents. I crack the window and I sleep like a baby.  I do not like being hot while I’m in the bed unless something sexual is happening and even then I need a breeze. However, I only like being cold IN my bed. Not at work and not outside. J

I don’t like kids. I don’t think they are cute.  I don’t ooo and aahhh when I see them.  I don’t care about pictures of babies or pink clothes, booties, hats. Nope none of that nah! I don’t care about recitals or ballet.  Kids are annoying. Babies cry and poop. I only like my kids.  I raised my kids.  Please don’t show me pics of your kids, or roll up on me with your kid or tell me long stories about something they did.  D don’t care. 

I believe in Cinderella fairytale love. It’s sad but true.  I believe that I will have my forever love one day.  Though I’m waaaaaaaay to old and live in the real world.  I just believe that the right one for ME is just waiting for me to get all healed up and right before God let’s them make an appearance. Boom!

Before I decided to change my lifestyle to live a healthier fit life I was a CocaColahollic.  I would keep cans and 20oz bottles of Coke in my room.  I would drink 8-12 bottles/cans a day EVERYDAY! I loved Coke!  It was harder to give up than bread. I IMMEDIATELY lost 5 pounds when I stop drinking.  Man I loved me some Coke. Passionately.

I finally got my friend to agree to take me to her favorite Zumba class…let’s see if it actually happens. 

She keeps pissing me off.  She did a 5K last weekend and only mentioned yesterday or the day before because her legs hurt. She sucks. I ask her constantly to do 5K’s with me…UGH

She is a work in progress.

Anywho that’s all I got…

Have a wonderful evening!

I have a little heart rate raiser planned for this evening. Yay!

Wed-Nes-Day workout:  Going for either a nice long walk or doing my new SWEAT workout that I bought last week and haven’t downloaded yet. Looking forward to it!

Me, Zumba...

So...I have heard about Zumba. (I didn't really want to "define" it.  I'm just going to assume that the small cluster of folks that read this knows what it is. Boom!)
 Heard about it from a distance and never gave it a second thought.  It wasn't until last year when I changed my lifestyle, that hearing about Zumba, started getting closer and closer and I wanted to try it.  My closest friend takes Zumba and I have spent the better part of a year asking begging her to take me with her.  Still waiting on that. humph
Last month it was a goal of mine to take a Zumba class. I didn't. I was scared.  Why? I don't know. The thought of my body convulsing in front of other people  kinda freaked me out.  Then, I didn't want to try it alone. *shrug*
I found a couple places that had classes and I even wrote them on my calendar. Eh, but I never seemed to make it. 
There is a fitness studio that is 10 mins from my house.  I really had no excuse not to go.
So, I sucked up the fear and the dash of anxiety, dropped my son at basketball practice and headed to Results Studios.


Tanika

This is the darling, little instructor is a gigantic ball of energy, but I assume you would need to be full of energy to teach Zumba, daily. She was bouncing, jumping, shaking and twerking everywhere.  Lil thing is smaller than my daughter and her daughter is the same size as mine! O__O 
The class was fun.  I enjoyed it.  There were mature women and younger women, different shapes and sizes.


Womp, Womp

My rating: B
I had high expectations about the calorie burn.  I have heard that it is a great workout AND an awesome calorie burn.  I burned more calories doing 50 minutes of T25. Bummer.  There were a lot of stops and starts.  Those ladies had to have their water breaks and my heart rate kept dropping and by the time it got up the song was over. Poo! It was a burn nonetheless. HOWEVER, I would do it again.  I may do a tour of Zumba classes just to find the ONE.  Also to support local, small, women run, businesses I will at least visit Results Studios a couple more times.


Not a bad day yesterday for exercise and calories burned.  Luving how March is starting!!
