Hello Friends,
I am going to start posting current ideas and events so I don't get completely stuck in the past while I catch up to today.
So yesterday, I am proud and happy to report, Your Not So Skinny Wedding Concierge went to my first actual Zumba class ...with other humans...with my new gym membership.
So far I have only been doing the 20 minute express DVD in the comforting, non-judgemental (OK, isolated and lonely) cocoon of my home office. I knew I didn't have any excuse for not showing off dancing in public because Lord knows that has never stopped me before.
But I went out there and did the entire class and it was a BLAST! 50 minutes of high energy dancing and It kicked my *** but I truly have never had more fun at the gym.
I was able to pick up most of what I had learned already pretty well with all the new Latin tunes I heard which were amazing. Even the steps I haven't seen yet or practiced much were interesting and full of life and movement. I just moved and enjoyed the music and rhythms no matter how much or little I had them perfected. It was JUST SO MUCH FUN. Everyone was really cool from beginners to pros.
The instructor could not believe it was my first class EVER {blush}. That felt pretty darn fantastic!!
Wednesday I am trying out a Hip Hop Class but Today I AM ZUMBA! What are YOU Today?

Fantastic that you are getting out of the house. Before long, your not-so-secret dream of teaching Zumba will be realized. You inspired me to do a Spin class today. Yup, I had no intention of doing it. Just thought I was going to hit the treadmill. But I got there just in time and did it, despite the fact that I was NOT wearing cycling shorts. OUCH!
Thank you for the inspiration!
I love your enthusiasm (and honest style)! Kudos on the blog and the "Zumbaness." Since Hip Hop is next, will your impending post be in some sort of rhyme scheme?:)
Karen,
Hi my Baltimore friend:)!!! Thank you for the compliments on the blog. I'm having fun with it...even the "hard stuff".
LOL on the hip hop post. Should I try and "rap" it?
I belong to that same gym! So let's ZUMBA together. Are you up to ZUMBA with the CEO of FUN????
Jodi,
Absolutely!!! That will be a blast! Just give me a date. I am going this Sunday at 9 but I know there are other classes of course.
