Embarrassment of Zumba

Last night was Zumba class. I have been quite down the last several days ever since Saturday actually. I wasn't at all thrilled to be at Zumba class what so ever and I wore a frown the entire time. Why so down you ask? It is damn hard to live off of 1600 calories and have any extra energy to do a serious work out! I have been absolutely exhausted the whole week and the last thing I wanted to do was have a "fun" work out.

Well, Zumba class is held at an elementary school and last night they were holding Little League sign ups in the hall way right out side the gym where we Zumba our butts off. There I was not happy to be there, hungry, weak, tired, and shaking my stuff while parents and their young children tried not to watch. One mom found her son smiling and watching us she blushed and turned his head away! No the class is not that bad but there is lots of hip shaking and gyrating. It actually is fun to do when I'm in a good mood and people aren't just watching. How embarrassing...

With 15 minutes left in the class I was feeling faint but kept on shaking it. I finished the class best I could because I'm no quitter and I actually do want to loose weight. Right after class I found on of the main SS and said, "I'm in trouble, I just don't think I can eat so little, I barely made it through the class." She looked concerned and told me to go back up to my original eating plan and I would be needing more calories now that I'm working out more and harder. Duh...

I was quite happy and relieved to hear I could be eating more. Oh, who am I kidding? I was thrilled!! I feel better all ready and am ready to Zumba my little rear off tomorrow at 5:30 a.m.

Yes, and I have lost more weight. I don't know how much because I weighed on my friendly scale but I could tell it was even a little more friendly then usual.
