I got to the gym early so I could get the "grand tour" - a requirement for using the free day pass. Then I sat and waited for my friend and for class to start. I chatted with a super nice woman who was using the raquetball court. I seriously thought I could join this gym...I almost went and spoke to the fella so I could get the paperwork started before class...but I stopped myself (I'm so darned impulsive sometimes.) Anyway, we're in the room getting ready for class to start - friend shows up right when the instructor gets there so we just jumped into the workout without getting a chance to chat. Well, Zumba instructor puts her music on and starts moving...everyone starts trying to mimic her moves...she never says A WORD! No cueing, no intro, no NOTHIN'! It was like she was working out on her own and we were all just trying to guess what came next...it was ridiculous. I hung in there for about 25 minutes but all I was doing mostly was marching in place. During a break I grabbed my things, said bye to my friend and left. Seriously, I have never walked out of an exercise class before but she was terrible! As I said in my title...FAIL!

 

BUT...this is what I did instead of going through a fast food drive-thru to deal with my disappointment. I came home, grabbed my other gym membership card and iPod and headed there for a workout on the treadmill. My gym is smaller...no raquetball courts, no pool, a lot less cardio equipment...but it was familiar and I got a nice little workout in. So...that was good. I've been thinking about canceling my membership since my contract is up and I've worked out there only maybe a month's worth of times during my two year commitment. But I think I'll hang onto it. It's only 20 bucks a month. PLUS, we took a Zumba class there once and the instructor was TERRIFIC! So, I'm planning to go back to her class tomorrow. The whole reason I joined there in the first place was because I wanted to try Spinning. And I LOVED it, but it's just another thing that I loved and quit. I think I'd pass out now if I tried, but I'm going to work my way towards it again.

 

Food today, eh...wish I could give myself a gold star, but I can't. I'm not going to dwell on it though. Tomorrow is Tuesday and I said I'd weigh in on Tuesdays so I will. It won't be pretty...how sad that I've wasted yet another week...but I'm going to do it. I'm going to find my way through all of this somehow.

OMG Zumba is a great class but sad to say some of the instructors can't instruct properly lol.  That was horrible how did the teacher expect everyone to know what to do?  Well you did the right thing by staying positive and going to your gym where you can really shine. Good job!
