Zumba!

I'm six weeks out and I've lost 29lbs!  I love my VSG!  I've whined plenty on this board during my stalls so I figured that I better post when things are going well, too. 

I started excersizing with Zumba!  It's a five week Latin dancerobics course and I attended my first one on Saturday.  It was totally fun and the women there were extremly friendly and supportive.  I went into this excited but concerned because I'm not known for my rythym.  But I was moving and shaking my butt and sweating like crazy!  It was so much fun!  I came home and practically callapsed from exhaustion but... I DID IT! 

Moving my body also helped me to lose even more this week than usual.  Gotta love that! 

This class is perfect for my lifestyle too because it's once a week on a Saturday morning.  I have no time for a gym routine as I work full-time and I'm a mommy afterwards.  No time between work and picking up my son either.  I would also hate to spend money on a gym membership and only use the gym on the weekends.  That makes  no sense to me.  But Zumba is perfect! 

Anyone else did Zumba before???

Congratulations on your weight loss.  I've never heard of Zumba before, it sounds fun.

Thanks Colleen!  Zumba is tons of fun and the best part is that I feel like it will help me with my dancing disability!  LOL!

Whoo~hoo!!! Yeah for you sweety!!
Keep on Grooving!!
*happy zumba dance with you*

Suzi YOU ARE A DOLL!  Thank you for the flowers!  I now have a new wallpaper to remind me of the love I get from this board!  :)

Congrats to you!  Best wishes for your Walk next week!  You're definitely achieving those goals! 

Can I get a WOOT WOOT?

Ruthie, you are doing GREAT! Finding an exercise that you like and that also fits into your life is wonderful. I had heard of Zumba and it's popularity, but wasn't sure exactly what it was. Keep up the good work and you'll be at goal before you know it!

Hi Rhonda!

I know all of you probably made this connection before but I recently saw how exercise can boost the amount of weight I lose!  LOL!  I'm a little slow on the uptake!  I hope to be at goal by Christmas.  Wow, that would be AWESOME!

Woooooot Tooooot for you Ruthie.  Sounds like fun, haven't heard of any classes around here.  But it sounds like great fun.  I will keep my eyes and ears open for possibilities.

Congratulations on the great losing, have a blast with the zumba.  Love to hear from folks after surgery and share the fun of the journey.  Thanks for the update.

Hey Kathy girl!

Thanks for your enthusiasm!  It's good to post for something good.  Although, this group is fabulous with supporting everyone no matter for happy or sad times. 

 Congrats!  I have Zumba as one of my goals.  My daughter has told me about it and tried to get me to go.  I'm waiting til I lose a bit more before trying it though.
