Wow, What a Wacky Week it Was!

This week has really gotten me out of wack!  Here's the run down.

Tuesday - Went to my Turbo Kick at the YMCA; which I really love and always look forward to.  The teacher asked everyone if they mind if class went outside since it was such a beautiful night.  Most everyone said sure.  Well let me tell you, it SUCKED!!  We did the class in the "side yard", which consisted of a steep hill and a tiny strip of sidewalk.  She lined us all up on the sidewalk and then stood in front (facing us) and gave the directions.  I didn't realize how much I depended on the mirrors in the classroom to confirm my form was correct and how much I HAD TO HAVE music pumping to get me amped up.  I barely even broke a sweat in class, which normally I am sweating profusely.

Wednesday - Found out the Dr discovered a "spot" on Dad's head AND a dear friends' mother unexpectedly passed away.  Talk about bringing you down.  By the way, the "spot" turned out to be nothing - YAY!

Thursday - Went to my Zumba class at the YMCA; this is another class that I adore!  And lately I have been getting really good at rockin' the moves and burning a ton of calories! Well, our normal teacher was out this week (and will be out next week too) and we had a sub from another Y.  Totally new routine, totally new moves and I SWEAR this teacher has some stripper experience under her belt.  Every move was so suggestive and sexy, I felt a little naughty just watching her.  I have never seen a grown women whip her hair and stare lustfully lovingly at herself in the mirror. Needless to say, I was not able to get the best work out.  Entertaining = yes, Effective = no

I still have a few more days before this wacky week is over ~ and I am ready for a new week; a new start. Even with the distractions and wackiness this week, I am still determined more than ever to keep it up.  I am a freaking WONDER WOMEN and WONT WAIVER!

Happy Friday!!

My New Work Out Buddy

Last night was yet another emotional night for me in my journey.  After months of trying to convince my 10 year old daughter, Lexi, to join me in one of the classes I take at the Y instead of her typical hour long leisurely stroll on the treadmill or stationary bike she DID IT!   She went with me to my Turbo Kick class - worked hard, burned calories and had FUN!!  I was so proud of her during class - she kept up with the other students and I even think the instructor enjoyed having a new dynamic to class.

As we were walking on our way to the car, she mentioned that she wanted to do it again and even join me in some of my other classes - yay!  She also that she really wanted some cute workout clothes "like everyone else wears".  I made a deal with her that if she loses 5 pounds I would buy a super cute workout outfit for her.  I have been VERY delicately trying to bring up the subject of fitness with her and the timing with 100% perfect!  We had the conversation and she got it, she understood that if she doesn't begin taking care of her body now - she will be in the same boat I am.  Talk about being SO PROUD of her!  I love that girl so much!
Happy hump day, ya'll  - have a greeeeat day!
