HWHL Points Today - 81 (465 total this session) Did the random surprise challenge of trying out a new exercise and posting about it, worth 20 extra points, and I also gave myself the extra 30 bonus points for this session for achieving a goal. I broke 220 (at least once, anyway, but I'm sure it will be permanent soon, and never go back,) I walked/ran a 5K, and I kept up the work on my overall summer goals.
Exercise - No exercise! Aaaargghhh!

I didn't get into Afton, Star Valley, until 1:30am last night, and Sammy woke me up at 6:30am, so I was tired out of my mind, especially after staying up the night before, so no exercise in the morning for me. I meant to go for a walk after dinner, but we had the family program as part of Zen's reunion, and then Sammy was cranky and I gave him and Emma a bath, got everyone in bed, and now it's 10:30pm, and I have to get up at about 5am to exercise, pack, and get back on the road by 7am for my family reunion in Bear Lake. So, the exercise tanked today. Crud, I hate that.

Here's the Zumba post I put on HWHL today:

I took a Zumba class from my local rec center this week, to fulfill this session's challenge. I'd been eyeing it for a few weeks, but it took an invitation from one of my friends from church and book club to finally get me there. It was so much fun! But remember Elaine from Friends? Remember her spastic dancing? That's how I felt in class on Tuesday. But it was so much fun, I had fantasies about actually being good at it one day. Needless to say, I'm going to be taking more Zumba classes in the future. I took my camera with me to class to take pictures of myself with some of my friends from church, but class had already started when I got there, and everyone was too hot and sweaty afterwards for pics. So, here's an intro video about Zumba:



This lady in my class, who I also visit teach, had on these cool "Zumba pants" that have little streamers in strategic places, so that while you dance the streamers move in time to the music. Of course, she looked great all throughout class, but it made me think, what if I could do that some day? I wouldn't dare do it now, because I DO NOT need to draw attention to my rear end. But who doesn't love to accessorize for a great workout? Check out eBay for Zumba pants, and you can also find more info about zumba at www.zumba.com. I'm pretty sure I'm going to break 200 pounds by my birthday at the end of October, and I've been wondering what would be a great b-day gift. How about some sassy Zumba pants?

I'll be shakin' my thing soon!
