So Much Going On

Hey guys!!! I know it has been a while I have just been crazy busy with work and school! But I have some extra time today so I am going to write about what I have been working on in order to lose weight.

So I have been doing a lot of Zumba which is an extremely good work out. I have one friend who seems to think it isn't but at the same time they wont try it either. It is a great cardiovascular work out because it is dance and you are moving and its to fast songs. A lot of Zumba classes incorporate dance moves that mimic exercise moves such as lunges and squats. It is a phenomenal work out for your core with all the different dance moves and motions. I always go away from a work out feeling it. With my weight I burn about 700 calories a work out if not more. So it is hard, I sweat like nobodies business but it is an amazing work out. I do it for about a half hour to 45 minutes. If you don't want to go to a Zumba class because you think you will look like a fish out of water, that's okay you can get DVDs, if you have a Wii or Xbox with Kinect you can get it for that as well. I have it for my Wii encase there is a day that where I go to school isn't having a class that way I can keep doing it. So take a look.

More news is that my dad and his fiance' finally got married!! On August 24th my dads wife and I are doing a run in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. It is going to be a blast. It is the Glow Run it is a 5k and then there is like an after party afterwards so I have been walking/running in attempts to get ready for that. 

I am also doing the 8 week challenge that I talked about in one of my first ever blogs for this. It is a challenge that the Six Sisters Stuff came up with and is phenomenal. It isn't an actual diet and its not that hard. It just tries to make you focus on what you are eating, getting your exercise, and getting you on the right track to change your life style. They have all sorts of stuff on their blog so I will post the link. Go take a look :)

Well that is all for now so I hope you all are having a wonderful day.
Remember its not a diet! It is a life style change!!

Zumba

Well I have been feeling a lot better. I finished my second round of antibiotics last Tuesday and hopefully things stay good so I don't have to go have more tests done.

I have started doing Zumba and in total I have lost 13 pounds.

If you guys want to try a fun work out that feels like it goes by quickly and just makes you feel amazing Zumba is it.

I feel so good when I'm done and it is a really good work out. If you put effort into it, it can get your heart beat right up there.

I plan on posting more pictures when I hit the 20 pound mark.

My advice is, is that no matter how long it takes you to lose it, its worth it. Its not a diet, its a life choice. So make the choice to be healthy and work through the pain and everything!!
