I burned 1086 calories at Zumba last night. We were really working it. Felt really good after we were done because I could feel it all over. My daughter burned over 700 calories. She is getting better at it.

That is awesome!! You are doing wonderful. I love zumba as well. Been doing it for 6 weeks now and have lost 24 lbs. I have about 60 more lbs to loose I think with a lot of toning to start doing as well with some weights.

Keep up the great work

I love the positive support! I used to be extremely shy and I felt embarassed going to the gym and working out in front of other people. However, a month ago I ordered the Zumba dvd's and thoroughly enjoyed it, so, I decided... what the heck... might as well try a live zumba class (as I heard so much about them online). I was extremely scared and really self aware as I showed up to the class. I wondered if people would be looking at me funny at the way I moved, looked, etc. But, when the class started, I was just so focused and having a good time I for once let my insecurities sit on the side lines. It was very empowering for me and I am so much more motivated now. I have been doing zumba about 4 days a week now and i'm hoping to ramp that up to 6 days with a mix of dvd's and live classes! :)

Ummmm..... Well, I just got back from the gym--Zumba class, of course! And I did Zumba Toning last night..and Zumba on Tues PM as well.. AND I'm going to go home and practice my Zumba routines for Curves as soon as I get off the computer!! (It's a beautiful day, so I'm going to do it on the deck outside!! Hahaha!! Neighbors, go ahead and laugh!!)

So---Zumba 3 days in a row! That deserves a high five, I think!

Today I felt so good when I went out to lunch and asked the waiter to substitute a side of broccoli rabe for the curly fries that came with my chicken and eggplant sandwich. Trust me, those fries smelled soooo good and when the patrons next to me began to munch on theirs I almost broke down and felt myself rationalizing about how I could work out extra hard to enjoy those fries.
In the end, I stayed focused and didn't have to deprive myself for the rest of day just because I went over my calories and fat intake at lunch.

So yes, I think I deserve a High Five for that

What did you do today to deserve a nice High Five??
