Confession: I have to admit that one of the most fun and unexpected side effects of my weight loss/health journey is the half time performances I have been blessed to be a part of! To date I have done four, three basketball games and a arena football game. They are just such a blast and the excitement is unmatched! I would put them a close second to running races. Races get the edge because they last longer and put more on individual performance…
If you are linked up to my Facebook then you know that I was “sick” last week, and that I made myself workout anyway! Yep, see I had made the decision to go to every Zumba class available during the week. Then I came down with a cold.
This was my week last week.
I took a load of cold medicine, but the big difference was LOTS of prayer, water, clean eating and exercise!!! I sweat that stuff out so hard and so much that by the time I got to where I ran out of medicine I decided just to go with it. It worked. I was still a bit runny and sneeze-y, but well feeling!
Worked out everyday!
Drank lots of water and coconut water!
Ran out of meds and decided to wing it at that point!
Lots of chopped salads!
Got this on a fluke, but really like it!
Of course being under the weather made me not so want to deal with a girlie bathing suit for Aqua Zumba, so I opted for my wife’s swim trunks. They are too big, but with a draw string it all works out! I was proud of my butch-ness, of course that was short lived. lol
Wearing her too big swim trunks!
Finding out that my best “butch” isn’t so butch after all!
My wife hates that – BOOM! I didn’t do it until I knew it got under her skin, now I drop it and laugh as she flinches! BOOM!
Anylet’sgetbackontopicway, work outs. About a year ago I walked away from one of the biggest loves of my life, Zumba. I left because the girl I loved was no longer coming to my area and I just didn’t care to go to the other classes. I told myself I would make a plan to go out to her classes once a week. Never happened. I started running more regularly and got a bit lost in it. I lost my fire, the passion to continue. I never wanted to stop, but I sure didn’t care much. I think six months in I realized that I missed Zumba more than I was letting myself admit, but my wife had bought me an elliptical and my friend was running with me…
Marta, my elliptical, and I were not getting along. She was tweaking my knee and I just stopped using her. It was run or nothing and while I was sticking to my three times a week minimum I was choosing nothing more than not. This is not good, me soul missed movement and the joy that came with it. So, I made the decision to go back to Zumba – I just wasn’t sure where I was going to get the money and then… I had picked up a lottery ticket in Texas during the road trip me and my girl, Ree, took in December and won 57 dollars. It had to be cashed in Texas so I mailed it in, it just came back! Woop! Woop! That, my darling readers, is what I call perfect-o timing and that is how I went to Zumba!
Only, I didn’t want to just leave this burst of new-found passion to chance, to leave it to sizzle out alone. No, I wanted to coddle it and encourage it to grow so I went onto the ever expanding Interweb and I found a C-UTE calendar and printed it up. I then sat down with me (she is so hard to get to sit still) and we had a little convo and came up with the ultimate workout challenge – I am working out everyday this month. Nothing cray-cray, just something and ZUMBA twice a week! BOOM! 😉
Made myself a calendar!
Finally back to Zumba!
Used my TX lottery winnings to reinvest in me!
Now, I have a clear map to having the best February ever! Thank God, I am so inspired and happy and it is only just starting!!!
