Getting Closer!

I can't believe how close I am getting to the countdown in days being under 200.  The countdown today is 205 and by the end of the week I will be under 200!  That is so cool to me as I thought 365 days was insurmountable.  March 14th will be exactly the half way point, and I am all ready making sure that after the project is over that I have ways to keep going.  I think getting my Zumba Fitness Certification will ensure that I keep exercising and make a little money staying fit!  I just wish my hours at work were not going to change.  March 1st I will be going to work at 12:30 pm and coming home at 9:00 pm.  I am not sure, at this point, how well a Zumba class will be accepted in the morning!

Misfit

It's Saturday and I am elated I got my workout done this afternoon.  I started it at noon and finished at 1:00 pm.  I chose the Biggest Loser Cardio Max levels one and two and I gave it all I had.  Yesterday I signed myself up to become a Certified Zumba Fitness Instructor.  The workshop is March 27th and after that I will be certified to teach a basic Zumba class.  I would like to get a small class together in April, maybe in the gym at my church....or maybe not....it's a Nazarene Church and a Latin Cardio Dance workout, somehow do not seem to go together!

The Doctor..

I had my Doctor appt today, time to check up on the insides.  Of course, you always have to start with the weigh in, so I ran right to the scale, dumped all my belongings, kicked off the shoes and let out a heavy sigh as I stepped on.  At first I was afraid to look, because this was the same scale I was growling at just one month ago.  Finally, I peeked and saw that I had lost 5 pounds for an overall total of 25 pounds!  Excitedly I went to the examination room and donned the "cuff".  I could not wait to see if my blood pressure had changed.  A couple of pumps, a "whooshing" sound and a "thats terrific!!" from the medical assistant, and I was rest assured of good news.  In September of 2009, my blood pressure was 124/82 not all that bad they tell me since the norm is 120/80 or below.  February 2010 and my brand new blood pressure is..."Tah DAh!"....112/74...I put it to the test tonight doing a one mile warm up walk dvd and Jillian's Shred level two.

OOPS....I did it again...

I went to Zumba class last night, came home to watch the last half of Survivor, went to bed watching the Olympics, and forgot to blog!  So, once again I will have two entries for today, one for yesterday and one for today.  Went to Zumba class last night and had a blast.  It definitely works up a sweat and the time goes by really fast.  I got into a little bit of trouble last nite because I whipped out my cell phone to take a little video clip of the class, and the instructor came over during the middle of "Gasolina" to tell me with a stern eye, "no videos, please".  I understand it is to protect the integrity and modesty of participants and for that I do apologize.  I don't plan to post it to you-tube or anything like that, and I will not post it to my blog (although that would be cool), I just wanted to show a friend at work who was curious about what "Zumba" is...next time I will just suggest you google it!

Thoughtless

Tonight I am just thoughtless...I have no thoughts on my project.  I did my stationary bike while watching American Idol and watched as they chose the "Top 24".  I only rode it for about 40-45 minutes, but I managed to work up a sweat.  I have a Doctors appointment on Friday, just a regular check up and I am kinda excited to see how my project is shaping me up inside and out.
