ZUMBA

I know over the years there are been  a lot of exercise trends, Windsor Pilates, tai Bo, Ab Circle etc but I am really enjoying this one. When I was in my teens I was fit and ripped but  I always claimed I didn't work out. Bullshit I was an only child and to keep myself occupied I used to dance in my room in front of the mirror (shame) and I would do this sometimes for 6 hours a day!!!! ( on the weekends). I never saw it was working out though as it was what I did for fun.


Zumba is like that it is so much fun and even better if you can do wit with a friend. You don't need to be super coordinated just willing to have a laugh at yourself. You break a sweat within minutes and you really feel it working you out!

At the moment I am only doing it around once a week but I am trying to increase it as it seriously works.

Give it a try and have some fun!!!

Still Alive!!!!




Yes I am still alive I guess I have just been extremely frustrated of late. I NEVER hear from my trainer anymore even though he was apparently supposed to call me every night and keep on track. I have also been finding a lack of money and cold weather to be inhibiting.

I have also plateaued...... Weight loss is nigh!!!!!

I know I have no one to blame but myself, I can blame it on Jeremy not being there etc but at the end of the day I really need to motivate myself. The plan I was on was not possible for a mother of 3 on limited funds though. There are not many families out there that can afford 5 meals of lean protein a day. I cannot afford weight watchers as yet so I am taking a everything in moderation plan.

This is what I am going to do starting this week.

Breakfast

Special K

Lunch

Salad or eggs

Dinner

Lean meat and vege

Snacks

nuts, fruit celery with cheese.

Exercise will involve doing Zumba 1 - 2 nights a week with a friend and walking with the toddlers 2 times a week for an hour.
 
I think the most depressing thing has been seeing friends have children AFTER me and melting back to their former glory.

The thing is you control what you do I just need to regain it.
