Finally a chance to post!!
Things have been crazy hectic here. The last week of February I started more classes putting me up to 12 Zumba classes a week. That weekend I ended up getting a head cold, stomach virus and upper respiratory infection in a matter of 3 days so maybe I overdid it and didn't take care of myself that week as much as I should have I admit my eating habits were terrible and I wasn't sleeping well at all. My kids got the bugs too and double ear infections so it was hard resting while I was sick.
On Saturday February 28th I went to NYC to a master Zumba class led by the creator of Zumba it was amazing and truly a dream come true. They were taping it for an upcoming video training session for instructors so I was really hoping to be on video but didn't want to be on stage or in front per say in case I got winded or messed up alot. So I stood towards the middle right in front of cameras but in a position where I could easily step out of camera view too if I had too lol. Towards the end of the class Beto (the creator) jumped off the stage and parted the crowd and came back right where I was standing and we danced together so unless they cut that segment out I defintely made it on the video might have looked like hell but it was one of the most memorable experiences I've ever had. Thinking back on it and posting on it still gives me butterflies. After class I was able to get a picture with him so that really made my day he is such a wonderful man and I'm so happy he shared his dream with the world because its truly changed my life.
I think I mentioned in my last blog before I disappeared that I signed up for the convention in September I'm so psyched for that and want to be at goal by then. I have everything booked but my hotel just waiting to hear back from a friend who is gonna be my roomie. It will be my first trip away from my kids.
This Saturday I have Zumba Gold training which is a lower impact version for Seniors, Disabled, Pregnant women, people who are extremely overweight or just new to exercising. I can't wait it will be a lot of fun.
Lost a lot of weight this week due to being sick and not eating but I wouldn't be surprised if I'm back up to 197 or so by weigh in or a little less than that whenever I get sick I lose a lot but then the second I start eating I gain it all back. My pants are fitting much differently though so something has shrunk we are going to the store tonight and I'm tempted to try on a size 13 juniors I really think it will fit.
Well that's it for now I'll leave you with the picture of myself and Beto.
