I have been out...

I was sick all last week... no fun whatsoever.  I did not work out once!  I feel icky now!  Yesterday was my first day back to Zumba.  It could not have been any better!  I feel so much more amazing!  It was just me and my friend Stacy, and we could not stop laughing at most of the moves.  It was just a silly night!
I think I will do yoga tonight, don't want to push my luck and just dive right back into my old routine, I still feel a little under the weather!

Dance Fitness: Danza Kuduro

I have this song and some of the moves stuck in my head! Don Omar - Danza Kuduro it is a remix...

So today is like dooms day for me.... It is my 27th birthday... boo.... I need something life changing to happen!  Like a big move to another country, someplace warm!  I have already been lucky enough to live in Costa Rica for 6 months, but I am ready to go now!  Seattle is great, but it is not for me.  GET ME OUTTA HERE!  I'm thinking Puerto Rico.... Anyone know of any tropical places that are hiring for preschool teachers?  or ANYTHING else?!

Ciara featuring Missy Elliott - Work ft. Missy Elliott

Recently I have stepped my game up and started running the morning, partially to help me wake up and energize me. I only run for 25 minutes, but still that is better than nothing. Since January I have lost 7 lbs. But more importantly I have measured myself. I did this about a week and a half ago. I have lost 3.25 inches, mostly from my tummy area. (.75 from my thighs) I started running on my treadmill about 3 weeks ago, on average 3-4 days a week.

I have never been able to run, NEVER, but thanks to Zumba my endurance has shot through the roof and I feel like I could keep going, if I was not bored.

I love running to this song, it is also a song they use for Zumba at the Dojo

Pedometer at Zumba

At the Dojo 3 in Renton I decided to take my pedometer to track my steps in the class.  I wore the pedometer to work that day too.  I work at a preschool, so I run around a lot... a little over 3000 steps in a 3 hour time period.  So at Club Zumba I took over 3,900 steps, but not all of Zumba is steps, so it did not count everything... Amazing.  Just with dancing!  I was pretty impressed!  They say that around 2000 steps is a mile, depending on your how large your stride is....
I really want to get one of those Body Bugs to track the calories lost.  That would be neat, but very expensive!
