Day 8: Zumba

I thought today being Saturday, I would try to jump back into a class and see how my body responds to that. I went to the gym and only saw 2 people in the room where the Zumba class is. I thought it was canceled and started to head to cycling which started in 45 minutes when Carolina, the Zumba instructor, saw me and pointed to the class.  Sigh...I think I was secretly hoping she did not show up. But that is what you have to love about personal trainers and fitness instructors, they have discipline and accountability and ultimately want to see you succeed.  

I finished the class without stopping for anything other than water a few times. I had fun as I always do, but it was hard. My body was definitely in worse shape than when I stopped going two months ago.  I had about 5k steps which was halfway to my minimum goal of 10k. I really would like to get to 20k everyday. I am thinking maybe adding in a walk in the evenings in my subdivision. That will only last a couple months before it gets too cold.  

Whatever the case, I am looking at the LA Fitness class schedule trying to figure out what I am going to do next week:
Sunday: no classes = cardio + weights
Monday: Cycling @ 5:30 pm or Zumba @ 7pm
Tuesday: Cycling @ 5:30 pm or cardio + weights
Wednesday: Zumba @ 5:45 pm or cardio + weights
Thursday: Cycling @ 6:45 pm 
Friday: no classes = cardio + weights
Saturday: Zumba @ 8:30 or Cycling 9:15

I am scared of cycling. I was in much better shape when I did it before and it still killed me, but I know I can go and at least get started back on this quest to lose this weight.

The thing about these classes is I also want to continue going with my daughter who has put on about 40 lbs since we moved back. So, this might start me on 2xs a day working out...which equates to me needing more workout clothes lol. We will see what happens. Wish me luck!

As for the rest of my Saturday...I enjoyed myself. I went to the Greek fest with my cousin and had a good time.  There was a lot of good food there, but we shared so I had just samples of everything.  I will have to call it my cheat day, but I did not go overboard. The best part was I ended up with about 12k steps! Woot! Woot!  Struggled with some knee pain, but I'm ok.  I came home and did my 30 day challenge workout which I have been following everyday.  I have not been posting that here because I usually do it really late, like right before I go to bed.  

15 sit ups
30 crunches
50 squats

Oh and here is a picture of my fridge.  I should call this an extreme makeover, because this is the first time my fridge has ever looked like this! Transforming my eating habits...transforms me!
