ZUMBA!

My new favorite fitness activity! I just went to a class tonight and wow, I was pumped. I’d just joined my best friend for coffee about a half hour earlier, so I was pumped up and ready to go. I went back and forth between two different cafes, and thinking that the next one would be cheaper, I called my friend and asked her to meet me there instead. Stupid move. The prices were the same. When I got there, though, I realized I liked the atmosphere better, anyway.
The verdict on the coffee? A skim latte with 1/4 shot of coconut and 1/4 shot of chocolate. I’m drinking espresso with a subtle hint of Almond Joy. It’s absolutely delicious. If you’ve never tried it, I highly recommend it, especially if you’re not a fan of too much sugar but like some flavor in your latte.
I rushed home, had 2 dates and a few almonds, filled my water bottle, and ran out the door again. I had no idea this class was going to be so intense. After an hour of reggaeton, merengue, and salsa beats, I was practically dripping in sweat. Midway through the class, I realized that one of the instructors was my dance team coach from high school! It’s funny how people re-enter our lives again.
I’ll be returning to this class next week, for sure, but when I left the class, I wasn’t sure I’d be returning ANYWHERE — not even HOME. I was welcomed by a clouds so dark that bats could swarm the area and a downpour that resembled a hurricane, causing me to wonder if I was actually in Florida, not Wisconsin (I would prefer the former, actually, regardless of the rain). And finally, after three straight days of clouds- the sun comes out. At night. When it’s only going to go away in an hour anyway. Thanks, Sun. You always like to surprise me. Better late than never, I guess.
A little work to do tonight, then probably nothing too interesting afterward.
Another late night…

I haven’t even been drinking coffee every day. This is ridiculous. The sky is dark and grey right now and I have no motivation to be ME today. I stayed up until 3 AM last night. Not a good habit to get into, though I can say it’s been a comfortable habit of mine for the past two weeks. Maybe it’s just because I want to be different and forget about the life I had before pilot baby broke up with me, but I am seriously ready for change now!
Chiropractic appointment at 2 PM– need to get pretty really fast, then go buy some thank you cards that will get out super late this year from my birthday. I love my family…they deserve better than a thank you card that’s a month late! Hahaha. Later a couple work errands, then hopefully my very first Zumba class. I cannot even tell you how perfect Zumba seems for me. Latin and world dance grooves, pretty much a salsa dancing party? Oh, heck yeah! I actually have not even been to one class before and I was already researching how to become an instructor yesterday. I’m known to jump the gun a little. I’m just upset that the closest class to me is in Stevens Point, WI. And when is it offered, you ask? Saturday, July 18th- the same date as my best friend’s wedding, of which I am a bridesmaid. Funny how life works, eh? :P
For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others.
