Zumba Problems: A zumba song comes on in the store, and all of the sudden you can't talk straight or focus on shopping... in fact, you break out in dance.



POSITIVE AND PERKY POLLY IS IN DUHHHH HOWSSEEEEEEE!!!!
Did you miss me????
With the hell weekend/Monday that I had I really really thought the weigh~in today would be bad news.
Surprisingly with everything going on included feeling like a big puffy marshmallow because Aunt Flo decided to grace me with her presence I was the same weight.
169.
I'll take it.

Meanwhile if you are feeling like a marshmallow and want to feel less like said marshmallow I suggest doing Zumba.

Oh heyyyyyyyy there 704 calorie burn.

{I was going so hard I accidentally stopped my session and had to restart.  BOOM}

I had a serious GO ME moment last night, too.

When I first started this whole workout biznass I could barely even hardly do 20 jumping jacks at one time.

AT ONE FRAGGN TIME PEOPLE.

Last night we did several rounds of jumping jacks.

I did them all without having to stop.

We also ran around the gym for an entire song, it was long, and you had the choice to run or walk.

When I first started this journey I would have NEVER been able to run the whole time.

Last night I was running like it was no big deal.

I wasn't out of breath.

It was probably the best I have felt in such a long time.

And guess what after how crappy I felt in the days prior I felt so accomplished and proud when I left class last night.

 

So I have been upping my Zumba classes going at least two, if not three, days a week.

It's fun and a nice change from the gym at work.

I 100% could not do the same workout errrryyyydayyyy.

I am way, too ADHD for that.

Not to mention I burn at least 600 calories in every class.

 

That's where my good friend Serena comes into play.

Her class is on Saturday mornings.

I had not seen her in a couple years upon arriving to her first class.

I was not prepared for the change in her.

She looks amazing y'all!

Proof is in the picture...

Those pants she is wearing is just from last summer!

Talk about some serious inspiration and motivation.

 

AND JUST LOOK AT MY GUNS...

Thank you Zumba AND Kettleball workout.

 

My goals for this week are simple.

Drink lots of water and STAY WITHIN MY CALORIE LIMIT.

The weekends are hell for me y'all.

Pure eateverythinginsight kind of hell.

I have done it before so I know I can do it now.

Oh and just one more goal.

Rock the shit out of this dress on Friday night at the Toby Keith concert...

Feeling confident is something I have ALWAYS struggled with.

I am definitely better now than I have ever been but it isn't always easy.

We all do it.

Nit picking things that only we notice.

The stretch marks underneath my arms...

The fat on the side of my knees...

They seem really silly when I type them out but we all have those things we are self conscious of.

Confidence is sexy though and I am really trying hard to rock that.

 

PS I believe that if you don't treat yourself every once in a while you will fail so I felt it necessary to have a beer last night after my 700+ calorie burn.

 

PSS I am not always sweaty and in workout gear I promise ;)
