Yes u read it correctly! My newest passion in the gym is the ZUMBA class! I have a Huge passion for the gym anyway, but boy the Zumba class, puts a pep in my step! I just recently found out my gym offers the Zumba class 4 times a week. If u have no clue of what the Zumba is, I encourage u to look 1 up on youtube and watch it. It is a very high intensity workout, but so much fun that that hour goes by super fast!
I go get my b12/liptropic shot tomorrow as well as do my weigh in. Hoping for at least a couple of pounds, but I've gotten on the scale and been disappointed many a time. I have been loosing the weight at a much slower pace than I would like, but I know it's a healthy rate to loose just a pound or two every other week. Because I got so disappointed on the scale so often, I went from weighing in weekly to now every other week.
I will tell u Zumba is not the only thing I enjoy in the gym. I enjoy all the weights including, the stationary cycle and the crunchmaster. My newest challenge as far as equipment is the eliptical. I have only managed to go 1 mile in 20 minutes on it...lol. The biggest accomplishment by far, was on the stationary cycle. On August 19, I did 6.7 miles in 43 minutes. I literally felt like I needed to pinch myself when I was done. I NEVER thought in a million years I would be ready for something like that, so soon into my weightloss journey. To be honest I NEVER thought I would EVER do something like that! I continue to amaze myself in the gym everytime I go for a workout. I have to ask myself am I dreaming or am I really doing this! I am up to 50 crunches on the crunchmaster and I do 4 reps of 10 each on each of the 10 pieces of gym equipment. The most weight I can lift with my arms is 80pounds. I know shocking right!?!
I will tell u I am starting to notice the physical changes as well now. I have went down 2 pant sizes and 1 shirt size. I treated myself to a haircut & color for my 25 pound weight loss 2 weeks ago. I intend on treating myself every 25 pounds to something Non-Food. I have decided the next 25 pound goal is to get my nails professionally done. I have NEVER had them done and I'm looking forward to it.
I will tell u, I had a mental plateau last week, but now I'm heading into the gym stronger than ever. I'm just in such a scary place, but the best place ever in my life. Scary, because I'm really doing this and also because I feel the weight of so many looking up to me, and I don't want to disappoint. I'm just continuing to do what I know to do. What I'm doing is making me healthier in body and mind!
Galatians 5:1
Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
