Zumba + P90X + Weights

I have lost 2 lbs this past week!  YAY me!  I started doing weights for 20 minutes before each Zumba class.  I have not been doing P90X, it is my brothers and on his hard drive and he was on it during the times when I was home, oh well... I am doing legs tonight, pick up right where I left off.  Every little bit helps!  My legs are starting to look pretty ridiculous, like with muscle definition.  Maybe I will take a picture and post them... ha...

Day 3 P90X


I started this morning with an awesome Zumba class... Came home and popped in P90X. Arms and Shoulders. Oh MY!


It was pretty good, just a long dvd... again. I have bands and very light weights. I mostly used the bands. I could do almost everything, not as many reps as the people on the dvd though. In time I will though. Ab Ripper X sucked today. My ass was super sore from yesterday's crazy jumping exercises and so were my legs, so I did about half of the Ab Ripper X video. Hey, it's better than nothing.

I am going to be sore tomorrow...


I also ran for 25 minutes, it was a good stress reliever. Sweat, sweat sweating it out...


I think I want to purchase a kettle weight... maybe next week.



Here is the burlesque song they do in Zumba at the Sunday class at the YMCA
Show me how you Burlesque

Update on my life... as of right now.

Hurray I sold my car today and got all caught up on my Spanish school work!  Yea for finally having a Saturday off!  Adios little red honda, you will be missed dearly!  :(  





Acupuncture is something I first had done about a month ago, and I am addicted!  I went in completely freaked out, because I hate needles!  HATE THEM!  When a doctor tells me I need a shot I cry.... instant tears.  But I have had over 12 piercings... weird I know.
I totally had anxiety on the way down to Holistic Healing Center in Seattle (not the name of the place).  My cousin and I did it.  
Three days a week a clinic in Seattle does Community Acupuncture on a sliding scale, so if you do not make much you could pay as low as $15 or up to $35, that is a deal!  Normally it is over $100.  The only downside is they treat multiple people in one room, which is fine with me.  It is a comfortable setting, and that is really all you need.  5 pricks in the ear and I felt like I was floating/drunk.... hmmm.... actually I would say more like I was tipsy.  I always say the weirdest things when I am in the drunk phase!  It makes a good laugh...
I went in looking for a cure to my sleeping problems, energy levels, and depression.  So far I do not need my sleeping pills to fall asleep, and my energy levels have increased BIG TIME.  We are still working on my depression.
Also, I have a benign tumor on one of my ovaries and I just did research and acupuncture might be able to break it up and shrink it!  How cool is that?  Adios tumor...
Sometimes, actually most of the time, when the needles are placed in the correct spot you get this weird sensation, like biting on foil... kind of a shock... but dull... I guess that is when the needle is hitting your chi, pretty interesting feeling.  At the most I have had 26 needles, and I am still working my way up.
My brother went for the first time with his girlfriend, and he just had knee surgery and want to gain his mobility back faster................. and acupuncture can help, the acupuncturist put needles in his elbows... weird right?  And my little brother has tremors and he said that he can help with that as well.... with needles in his neck... yikes, that sounds intense.
After every visit I sleep super good the next day and usually have the craziest most visual and believing dreams ever!  My cousin does too, her dream was too weird not to share.   I will just tell you the main characters... T-Rex, and Heath Ledger as a janitor.... in a warehouse that was like an apartment complex... let's just say she woke up and had to calm herself down... I could not stop laughing...
Here is a picture of the community acupuncture room... pretty chill...


Hurray for being crazy!

Great Zumba Song

Baby Come Back Zumba

Great song, it is super fun to dance to!

Enough is enough...

I have decided to kick things up in a big way... Yesterday I started P90X, I know it is not zumba and it is not a very fun program, but I needed to add something.  I am still going to go to zumba as  much as possible, in fact I am going to the YMCA tomorrow morning for their 9:30 am class, which will be lots of fun because that instructor does some burlesque songs.  Yippie,  I get to make a fool of myself trying to dance sexy-ish, in a very awkward way!
Plus I did a few zumba dances from youtube.com this evening on top of P90X...
So day 1 was yesterday of P90X.  Besides the point that the lead guy is super annoying and I can barely do one perfect push up, it went pretty well...  They are long routines though.  It gives you lots of breaks, which is nice.  I have to admit that I took some extra breaks.  It was the Chest and Arms Dvd.  And then the Ab Ripper X.  I think that is what it is called.  Holy cow, I could hardly do any of the ab stuff.... That was tough, but I stuck it out and finished.  I would say I did about 75% of everything, if you count doing push ups on your knees!
Day 2 was harder for sure, it was plyometrics.  A lot of jumping, lunges, and squats.  I stuck with the ENTIRE thing, but did only about 75%.  I modified what I needed to, like the move where you jump up and bring your knees up to your waist line, could not do that for the life of me.... so I just pretended like I was jumping rope.  Then jumping into lunges was tough for me too, I had no balance skills today.  So I just stretched it out in the lunges changing quickly from right to left leg.  You will never know how relieved I was when I was done.  That was over 50 minutes of craziness. I got through the first half and was saying to myself, "Is this ever going to be over..."  and  "I can't do all this..."  But I did and I could not be happier.
I am not following the nutritional stuff, I eat healthy already.  I just need to watch the amount of food I eat and I should be good.
Zumba at the Dojo 3 in Renton on Monday!  I could not be more excited, I think Monday is going to be the 1.5 hours of yoga.... I love yoga, but 1.5 hours with the crazy instructor guy on the dvd should be interesting.
Tomorrow is shoulders and arms along with a morning Zumba class... I can do this... I can do this... I can do this...

Estelle Ft Sean Paul - Come Over


The real video would not play... boo... Here is a great cool down, stretching song... I listen to it all the time.

great idea.

Wouldn't this be super fun!  Traveling around the country trying different zumba classes all over and spreading the word about how much fun it is!  Writing reviews about each class, doing like 2-3 classes a day... I think that would be so much fun!  And then ending in Florida where zumba began!  Amazing, yes I think so... hmm... I have a professional blogger/photographer and a friend that would totally do it!  Just need a sponsor... Zumba Across the America would be an appropriate name I think... oh one can only dream!

Zumba® with Eriko - Pegate by Grupo Treo - Merengue


My work schedule has changed, and I start school this week... stress times 10. Last week I was only able to do Zumba once, I feel like a failure! But I did run a few days too. I found a video to Pegate that shows the zumba moves, so I have added that song to my at home zumba workout party. YAY!
