Zumba!!!!

So it all started over two years ago. My sil talked me into going to a zumba class that a friend talked her into going to. I will be honest I was so not excited at all. I  have always struggled with my weight no matter what I try, and so I prefer to exercise in the privacy of my own home. The instructers were so nice and I found that the class was full of all shapes, sizes, ages. At first I was very self conscience because I am not very coordinated, but by the end of the class I realized that I had fun. I loved how energetic the routines were, and that it was a lot like dancing. I became addicted!!!

I continued to go twice a week for about 4 months and was losing weight. I then found out I was pregnant, and I continued to go through out the entire pregnancy. It made me feel awesome. I hurt and ached so much with my first pregnancy. I hardly ached at all with this one, and felt great(minus the morning sickness constantly)! About the time that I had my little girl the instructors had to stop their classes in my town, and it was too far to go to their other ones so late at night. I was devastated.

I thought of zumba often, and everytime I heard a zumba song on the radio I wanted to zumba it up. After about 4 months I found another studio, and I talked my sil into going again (she wasnt as big of a fan as I was) and my mil. This studio is awesome it is like a big party. They turn out the lights, and have a fun lighting system. My mil has become a zumba junkie like me and we go two times a week. We have both lost quite a bit of weight, and feel so much healhier.

Zumba is my time for me. It energizes me, and puts me in such a good mood. When I have to miss it is like I am a two year old that has just had their favorite toy taken away lol. I am so thankful for zumba it has been an activity for ME that I love and isn't like a chore. My husband Mr. old fashioned is also so awesome about taking care of the kids while I go he is the best.
