Well, tonight was my first Zumba class. I guess I shouldn't be too surprised, but the steps and the songs were entirely different than the video's. That's ok. I'll use the video over the weekends and snow days etc.
But boy was it a workout. I think the scale will show me 15 pounds lighter tomorrow. Hell, I earned 9 points in activity points at one go. I usually earn 1 point for every time I walk the dog for 20 minutes. This is going to be really good for me, even though I'm the biggest dork out there. At least Mari has a natural sense of rhythm. But I don't care dork or not. Someone's got to make the rest of the group look good, and I'm going to lose a ton of weight (which is just a little too close to reality than I care to admit), and I'm going to have fun doing it. Besides, maybe I will acquire the grace I've always been lacking.
And although I got some stitches in my chest and with one pelvic thrust something popped (it felt good afterwards), it wasn't too demanding. I'll take a couple of Tylenol before bed, and I don't think tomorrow morning will be too rough.
The only thing is, I rewarded myself with an 8 oz. can of Dr. Pepper and one of those fudgy brownies. Still, it didn't burn up the entire gain, but I can't do that every time I work out. Oh, and the brownies are just as good frozen as I thought they would be. Wednesday, I reward myself with a nice juicy apple.
On the positive side, I know I'll gain back tons of energy. I'll have to come up with projects so I don't get bored. I may just end up painting the house, or redoing the floor in the living room and dining room. Who knows?
You were Zumba-rific tonight. I rewarded myself w/ Cheez-its and soymilk!
ReplyDeleteYes, but I wish I had your sense of rhythm...that and the skinny body. But, I'll stick with it because I know it'll be good for me.
