Zumba!!

Yesterday was my second time at Zumba, JESUS!!! I survived. But not sure if my arms did :-/ I enjoy the class, it gives me variety in my workout. And considering I have no rhythm it can be quite funny!!! My Zumba instructor is 8 months pregnant! She puts us all to shame.....but she is a great instructor.  Each night after Zumba I try to post a picture of me smiling, why? To remember despite the pain I still have to smile. Below is yesterday's pic.

Also.....In my head I was going to try to bake a peach cobbler recipe I had recently found...would so defeat the purpose of working out, but I love to bake and try new recipes.  But my body was so tired did not even attempt :-/ Lesson learned.

Working Out

I have to get better at posting here.  I am still working out and attempting to eat better.  One set back has been a severe sinus infection and the weather. I love walking and jogging outside, but the weather is changing and it is making me sick :-(.  Plus the other day I guy attempted to set a few businesses in my area (right at the end of my walking route) on fire and he was out and had not been caught....decided not to chance walking that morning.  I am now going to have to step up my indoor workouts in the mornings. Here are my options.

1. I have a few exercise DVDs at home, but honestly they do not motivate me.
2. My apartment has a workout area, but it is not the best. There is one treadmill that works great, but it is usually taken when I go in :-(
3. Could invest again in joining a gym or YMCA, but that is money that I rather not spend right now.
4. My company has a free workout area, but that would mean getting up and being ready to go to work by 5 or 6am and workout before work....not a fan of public showers and lockers.

One thing I did do is invest in a small workout stepper for my apartment that I can do at home.  Wish I could fit a treadmill in my apartment....but then I would have no space. So I recently purchased a Cardio Twister.

This machine can fit in the corner in my bedroom, I can watch tv while I work out and I will have no excuse for not getting up and doing something, because it is right in my room.  It should be delivered today and I hope I can put it together correctly.  We shall see how this goes.

Oh...weight is going down a little, weighed in yesterday and I was at 288, I need to step it up.
