In the last couple of weeks it has struck me how important consistency is to your healthy eating or exercise routine. Little things can get your routine out of whack and inadvertently lower your motivation. Last week our salsa instructor wasn't able to make the class so it was cancelled. (with plenty of notice and totally understandable) Unfortunately, the following Saturday my Zumba lesson was also cancelled for reasons beyond the instructors control. I was VERY disappointed. It made me realize how addicted I am to moving to music! It really brightens my week to have those two classes. I've also become addicted to the cardio aspect of the Zumba. Our teachers are really great. I particularly like the fact that they have a dance background so you feel you are learning some basic dance steps as well. It's lots of fun. The bad news is it may be gone in the future. The space that has hosted the class (Lula Lounge) will no longer be open at that time so the class will not have access to the space:( We (my sisters and I) know of other Zumba classes going on and we may have to find a new space with new teachers.
Yesterday I was at a kid's birthday party with my son. The party was held at a very small local community centre. I discovered that they have yoga classes there as well as a "Fitness Bootcamp". Now, "Fitness Bootcamp" is totally not my style but hey... I didn't think I would like Zumba! I've really seen a progress in my fitness level through the Zumba. I used to get really winded and sweat profusely. Now, I still sweat but not as much and I don't get nearly as winded. It has been a good lesson in the results of sticking to it!
I am happy to report that I am maintaining at about 141 or 42. I AM nervous about the coming festive season! I don't want all that hard work to go to waste.
