Imparting Zumba Knowledge

I have been working out a lot these past few months right? I am a class girl. This means that I would much rather take a class than go run on a treadmill, etc. I am especially partial to dance classes since I spent most of my life dancing. It's no wonder that I love Zumba.

I take Zumba several times a week and there are many things that I have learned in class. Let me impart my knowledge on you.....

***Just because you wear Zumba clothes, doesn't mean you can dance!!  I am pretty sure that women think if they buy the clothes and look the part, that they can dance.  It ain't happenin ladies so just stop.

***There are many kinds of people at Zumba....those that can dance, those that can't dance and those who totally think they can dance but totally can't. I, of course, can dance. haha!

***I am in love with the men who come to Zumba and shake their ass like there ain't no tomorrow even though they aren't fooling anyone.

***Even more so, I love the people who come to Zumba and don't follow the dances AT ALL. They just pretty much do whatever they want but totally sweat their asses off.
    OK, really I just love the workout that I get from Zumba.  I also really like the people I have met. I think that anyone who gets out there and does it is amazing and deserves kudos. I also know that all those girls who work out with me totally agree and are just too afraid to say it themselves!!!

      I love Zumba particularly because you can get out there and do what you want. I love to dance but have some sort of learning disability when it comes to following dance moves. So when I went to my first Zumba class-with no talking just ass shakin'-I was totally smitten!!

    A Single Mom on Mother's Day

    Mother's Day as a single mom looks a little different. There is no partner to take the kids out shopping for gifts or remind the kids to make something for mommy. There is a chance that on the weekend of Mother's Day you won't even have your child, you will have to ask if she can come home early to spend the afternoon with you. Mother's Day will be church in the morning alone surrounded by other mothers holding tightly to their children beaming with pride. You may feel slightly sorry for yourself but as you see other mother's you realize how incredibly lucky you are to be in their company and that there are many women who will never be called "mom." You count down the seconds until your daughter gets home as you do every weekend she is gone. You can't wait to hear about her weekend and snuggle on the couch soaking in every ounce of her smiles and love. You will even be thrilled to hear her father's girlfriend taught her to tie her shoes because...

    The Big Cleanse

    Image
    Tomorrow I am embarking on a cleanse. It all started when Cristie and Amy banded together to get Amy healthier. I wanted in on the fun so Cristie and I talked about it, but then life happened and we never really connected. I started getting healthy on my own and things were going great. They still are but I have hit a little bit of a plateau now that I am back working. Last week Cristie told met that she was going to do a 2 week cleanse with some people, including Amy and did I want to join in? I jumped at the chance. Here I am on the day before the cleanse starts and I am FREAKING OUT! First, I am cutting out caffeine. I like to think that I am not addicted to my morning cup of coffee (or 2) but I am sure that I am. This one is going to be tough. I am not looking forward to it. Coffee has become a comfort for me in the morning so taking that away will be hard. I am going to replace coffee with some yum tea and hope that I can get comfort from that. Second, eating healthy is ...

    Stress Is a Crazy Thing

    I have learned over the past week how crazy stress can make you. I broke out in hives on my legs last week, mainly behind my knees. It has progressively gotten work. I am itching like a crazy person and nothing is really helping. I can tell you that the more stress I deal with the worse they get.  For example, the horrible, mean text that I got from the ex that was intended to go to his girlfriend about me? Yeah, within hours my entire legs were covered with them. Another good one.....worry about going to the Dr. since my insurance hasn't kicked in yet made my back break out in them.  Fun times I tell you! It has been fun to listen to all the advice people have given me..... Take an oatmeal bath! Did that....made the hives 20 times worse! Take Benadryl twice a day! Currently doing that which is helping but makes me walk around like a zombie. Put wet towels in the freezer and then put on the itch! This works when I am home but for the 10+ hours I am out of the house...
