I have a funny story about the boats at the harbor.

The DAY I found out I was preggers with the eldest her father goes "let's go get on the boats." But they were out of the paddle boats and only had the electric ones. Mind you I was 275 probably about that time. I was scared whitless! I thought I was gonna tip the boat!

LOL...I had a fear of tipping the boat, falling into the Bay and then a horrible visual of the 2 or 3 grown men it would have taken to haul my 300lb butt out of there.

Good luck on the harbor boat ride. I look at them think oh hell no! I ain't getting my big butt (even when it becomes small) in one of those things. I can't swim and tha****er looks dirty as heck.

The water does look pretty bad at times. Ok, most of the time. And the occasional body does turn up which is really morbid. Hmm...ok wish I hadn't thought of that.

Maybe my goal should be eating at the Tapas place while watching people in the boats.

I showed horses in my younger days but haven't been riding since I started gaining weight in my early 20's. I will go on an 8 hour trail ride in the Rocky mountains with my family.

I've been at goal for 2.6 years now. My goal has always been to become a personal trainer. I just need to figure out the best way to do it and make myself do it!!

My secret aspiration is to become a Zumba instructor. I guess now it's not so secret, is it?

BUT I actually would like to do that BEFORE getting to whatever arbitrary goal I have sorta kinda not decided on yet. I want to be the thick Zumba instructor. I think more overweight people would feel comfortable trying Zumba if their instructor looked more like them :)

YOU SHOULD DO IT!!

Ive had good Zumba instructors, a horrible instructor and a nut job instructor.

As long as you are feeling it, thats whats important to me. The instructor I refer to as bad...she just didnt have the spirit. Didnt have good music and didnt know her moves very well. She didnt relate to us.

As outgoing as you are you will be an awesome instructor

That is what separates it to me too! I had an AWESOME instructor, Mia. She had such fun during the workouts and she had us doing some crazy choreography! But it was so fun. She inspired a movement. We all came to class dressed too cute cuz we LIKED watching ourselves shimmy in that mirror and laugh and have fun.

THAT is the kind of Zumba instructor I want to be. The course costs a couple hundred bucks so it'd be a while before I could actually do it but I think I just might...

I wonder how one goes about getting a job teaching Zumba?
