ZUMBA!!!

Aug 01, 2011

I am aware that I am not the person who "discovered" Zumba, but this morning I feel like it!  I took my first class yesterday and the energy burst it gave me is intense!  I blogged about fatigue in my last post, and now can see it may be directly linked to not getting enough exercise!  My dear old pal Becky (who I have been friends with since 3rd grade) invited me to her class. I was scared but excited to try it.  Well, it was like going home.  I felt my body come alive, and the dancer that I  have always been was awoken.  My brain has always been a dancer, and here was my body getting back in the groove.  I kept up with the choreography!!  It was so fast paced and lucky for me it involved alot of rythyms and steps that were familiar to me as I have been with a Colombian man who loves to dance for 20 years.  Now, I haven't danced with him in a long time, but it all came rolling back to my feet!  It also helped that I loved the music :)

So today I went to bed at 2am (due to energy rush after evening class) then woke up BEFORE my 6am alarm, raring to go!  I am going to my 3 month follow up with the surgeon today, even though it's been over 4 months.  I look forward to getting the results of my bloodwork, and hope it is ok.

I also did a play for the first time since I was in 10th grade.  It was a blast and we made lots of new friends!  I am def singing in cabaret this year, but after enjoying that Zumba class last night I may even try to dance!!

One more thing, I reached the 120 LOST mark this morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
