Lets Zumba

Well last night I went to my first Zumba class.  It was intense, high energy, but so much fun..   It’s an exhilarating, effective, easy-to-follow, Latin-inspired, calorie-burning dance fitness-party...  


Yes, Latin inspired which means lots of sexy hip gyrating movements.  As a newbie I didn't know what to expect - I am the type of person who falls off the step in an aerobic step class.  After the hour long session - which I managed to keep up with.  I wasn't surprised that the mirrors in the studio were completely steamed up. 

You know you must have had a good workout when you leave the room drenched and your clothing is clinging to your body... 

I worked my bottom off  "literally" and thanks to the energetic instructor - she had us all shouting / grunting and laughing our way through the session, it didn't feel like the workout it was, rather a dance party of sorts i guess you could say.

So how do I feel this morning - well surprisingly not stiff or tender at all, well not as much as I thought I would be.  I do feel full of energy and found it hard to get to sleep last night after all that excitement.

Although these classes are not strictly for women only - I think that any man would be completely intimidated...

Will I go again - you can bet on it - I will be subjecting myself to this craze again tonight - can't wait...

    Go Zumba, gurl! and enjoy it again. The picture on your side bar of the butterfly is the exact same friendship tattoo I have on my left shoulder blade (my BFF has the matching one)

Another night on the Town.... Can i handle it !!!!

Yes it seems my younger counterparts have surfaced and are keen to go out again this Saturday night.. So am I up for it again???  Why not.  I don't get to do this very often and I'm sure I can handle one more night out on the Town... and besides its a long weekend ahead so I will have more time to recover... Of course now  I will need to find something to wear.... Any suggestions??? Thankfully I wont have any snow to deal with this weekend - well so far there is none forecast which means I wont freeze half as much..  and of course it will be safer walking around in heels.. Well some shopping is on the cards the next few days I think.. Question is can these young ones keep up with me???  I hope so - but they don't seem to make them like they used too...

Run Run Run!!!

Sunday 9 June - my Race for Life.. I was ready, even after my little holiday, even though I didn't get much running in during the holiday I did a fair amount of walking and I managed to be good and not over indulge in anything other than Thrill Rides :-) Got to Abington ready to hit the ground running so to speak... It was a cool morning overcast with a slight breeze blowing.  Everyone around me had coats and jumpers on... I didn't need one I was so excited for this run... Run started and it was going well,  however, I don't know why so many women decide to start with the runners in the front of the race only to end up walking the rest of the way... due to this I had to overtake large groups of walkers along the way who tend to walk on the flat even path.  This means I need to overtake them on uneven surfaces, half way round I managed to twist my ankle. This wasn't going to stop me finishing the race though, so I carried on through the pain and completed it in 7

The day after the night before...

Well I survived the night out and had a great time... Even though I literally froze my butt off while walking from one place to the next... I stuck to the plan and wore my chosen outfit, and was glad I took the black leather jacket with to keep me warm during our walk from one place to the next.. Started off with a few drinks (a couple of glasses of wine and about 3 Raspberry sours shooters before we went out), meant that i didn't feel the cold too much - I'd hate to think how it would have been if I was completely sober. The only downside to the evening was when, at one of the venues, I went to the little girls room to look for my friend who's birthday it was, and after making a wee* (excuse the pun)  pit stop myself, when I returned to the bar I noticed that the group of 8 or so had left... No way.... They have left me behind... I was not happy..  although I had an idea as to what the next stop would be, I had no idea on how to get there and in which direction I s
