Oh its December and so much is happening. First I've got a new job with the sno-valley Ymca teaching Zumba gold to start, and hopefully a bit more as time goes by and we see how the Y develops. I am so excited to have this opportunity to work in the Y and with the community.
Second on my list is that my daughter will be home for Christmas from London England. She'll be back the 19th hopefully barring weather etc. It's a long flight but so excited for her return.
Third - I've recently started taking HoT Yoga. I didn't think I would like it, didn't think I could stand the heat mostly. I'm not up the whole time that's for sure, BUT and this is big, I LOVE the way I feel when the class is over. The toxins just feel like they melt out of you. I think knowing that its only going to be 60 minutes help. My first class was 90 minutes and I laid on the floor probably 40 of those trying to adjust, when I would get light headed in the standing poses. I want my hubs and daughter to go with me for this. I'm determined to get him to a zumba class one of these days as well.
Fourth, I'm taking a Zumba Toning Training this coming Saturday. I'm so jazzed. I love working with weights. That's how I damaged my shoulder 4 years ago lifting 160lbs but it doesn't change things I still love the feel of holding weights, and the burn you get. I look forward to taking this training and then being able to take the Gold toning training. I already do light weight circuit type training with my a couple of my gals, so this will be more fun for them! Hurray!!
Fifth, I had this big realization today as I was carrying cat litter in. The boxes weigh 25 lbs each. I had two, one in each hand. As I was carrying them and feeling how much they weighed me down, it came to me that this is the amount of weight the doctor told me I needed to lose this year, by mid April- was the goal he set. I need to work harder at this that's for sure. I still have 40 of those to go. I had an excuse at not being able to do much while i was so severely anemic, but I no longer am(fingers crossed). It's not that I don't exercise I do, I do Zumba almost everyday, and now have started the yoga, which isn't so much for weight loss as more of a mind body connection. but I need to actual monitor my food intake better. I eat a ton of veggies and salad, and I use lemon juice for dressing not a fat laden dressing. But I'm not careful about making sure I eat regularly or get enough calories which can make just as many problems as eating too many. So now is the time to work on that before the new year actually.
Do any of you follow weight watchers? I got a notice their points plus program has new changes. I guess they are still ironing out the program with the changes. my actual favorite plan was the one they did that included the quick start program about 14 years ago. I wish to this day I still had that yellow quick start book. I lost 40 pounds doing that particular program, and wish I could go back to that program. I don't know where that book is, but I know I had it when I moved to this house. The hunt is on, if it worked once it can work again.
Alright then , I know how busy the holidays get, between shopping, visiting , and cooking too much.
