Hey! Where's My Feet?

I had the opportunity to try something tonight that I’ve been wanting to do for months now – Zumba!  It was a tossup between that and Jazzercise, which I’m thinking are fairly closely related. ZUMBA is a trade name for a dance fitness program created by dancer and choreographer Perez in Colombia during the 1990s. The program combines Latin and international music with dance in an effort to make exercise fun. (Thanks Wikipedia)  So how did I like it?  Well…. Let’s clear the air right now, it was fun & I liked it… that’s it, plain and simple.  You won’t ever hear or see me get excited about anything that makes me move for 50 minutes straight, sweat like a pig and smell like one too!  Whether it is Zumba, Jazzercise, moving furniture etc… it’s just not going to make me jump up and down and say WooHoo!  But it’s necessary… if I want to get my old svelte pole dancing body back, I must exercise, and I must sweat in the process… It’s just one of those things you don’t want to do but ha

Next on the list is… exercise.   I know I know, I talk about getting out and walking and how I want to start an exercise program blah blah blah but this time I’m doing it!   Weight loss is  at a stand still and I need to jump start it again... this will help me burn more calories, tone up and help me get my groove back! It really shouldn’t be hard to do… if you think about it, I’m already spending a couple hours   a day exercising when you take into account, all the typing, walking to the kitchen to refill my icey water, yawning & stretching.   Adding an exercise program will probably add another hour or two a day… sigh… losing weight is quite the time consuming activity. Between the exercise, time spent preparing healthy foods and other daily necessities, my free time is shrinking… shrinking , shrinking ….

Needless to say, I fell off the wagon – again. Boo, bad Tami.   But if you’re in tune with me I think you can understand why & how it happened.   Trips to Urgent Care & the ER for Julia’s eye (scratched cornea)… then at the same time I had not one but TWO pink eyes, which resulted in a big time scratched cornea in lefty and some scarring in righty.   I won’t go into the gory details (cause you may be eating lunch) but after not being able to see properly for 1.5ish weeks I’m finally on the mend… 6 more weeks of night treatment for lefty.   My bionic eyesight may never be the same again but at least I can see again.   So you can imagine life’s been a tad stressful and haven’t paid much attention to what I’ve been eating…   let me rephrase that…   I’ve paid attention to it, I just haven’t cared about it. Losing weight is H-A-R-D and I need to learn some flipping discipline!!!   I need to stop buying crap food.   Hungry Howie’s I’m looking at you!   Shame on you for making an oh s
