Zumba = FUN GOOD TIMES!

O.M.G but I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Zumba! It helps that our instructor is considered one of the best in Calgary and she`s just a little ball of Latin enthusiasm and energy!! This, with the running and boot camp, is really going to take things up a notch, because here, I got my sweat on.


Class was held at the same church as last night, and reminded me very much of the Latin Aerobic classes I took years ago at the Latin Dance Corner. The biggest difference between Veronica and Nino (LDC) is timing...Veronica keeps the party going, starting the next song and dance move right away, while Nino loved to chat and fuss and hang out. So my heart rate stayed at a very steady 143 average for the whole hour. I didn`t take weights but will for sure next week. Found my little baby 2-pounders which will be perfect. And next week, I will wear the Vibrams. Found that the carpet and runners and Latin dance moves just don`t get along that well. The Vibrams should allow me to move a little smoother. The hour flew by, and despite not knowing anyone in the class (Trainer Josh refused to pick up my challenge of him trying the class!), we were all laughing and having a great time together. This is going to be a fun 6 weeks.

Not sure what`s going to happen the rest of the day...noshing on some hummus (Summer Fresh - trying to be Sabas, and isn`t too bad, actually) with carrots and snap peas before jumping in the shower. I do have some blinds to put up in one suite...my most hated, despised, `why do people need blinds`, jobs of care-taking, so I`m working myself up to it. And, inspired by Jamie, I need to sit down and write out a meal plan for the week.
