Delighting in my new-found Zumba dance-spiration! I tried a different YMCA lastnight and found myself the only lily white in a sea of beautiful black and brown.
I mean, the other 45 women in this class could have been Beyonce's back up dancers. Totes.
I was almost as awkward as Taylor Swift was at the Grammy's rocking out to a rap song. White Girl Can't Dance Productions, haaaaaaaay!!!
Nevertheless, I still
This chick came up to me at the end of class and said, "You did great! We always give first timers a free pass when they don't know the moves..."
Um, yeah.
I'll prolly need a few more of those free passes.
But what's important is that I got through it and had a great workout. I was exhausted when I got home! A couple changes I'm making:
1. Cut out the evening cup o' Joe.
2. Alarm is set for 5:15am to do mat/MS work.
Surprisingly, I'm loving the morning workout. It forces me up early enough to get the whole sequence done and then have some down time to get my day started without a massive rush. My entire demeanor feels calmer and I genuinely feel more centered. This does mean twice daily workouts (most of the time.) I'm packing a change of clothes to do my Zumba workout after 5pm. (No morning classes are offered at the YMCA's in my area.)
Tonight and Thursday I have dinner planned out, so I'll be doing Zumba Mon/Wed/Fri/Sat/Sun this week. I figure 5 x 5 classes at 60 minutes a class is pretty darn good.
I'm definitely hungrier. Like, a LOT hungrier. I scarfed down 2 huge chicken thighs (bone-in, skin on) and a chicken wing for lunch today....but no breakfast, so that might explain the tummy rumbles.
Lastnight's dinner was epic:
Bacon wrapped jalapeño popper chicken bombs. OMG. They are the bomb. Low-carb heaven, y'all.
Scrumptious.
Happy Workouts!
Love,
The Mistress
