Oh my goodness...I weighed myself this morning and I am down 20 pounds! That is a darn good weight loss for 4 weeks. I am very, very pleased! After turning 40, my metabilism has died, and losing weight has been very difficult. So, this just goes to show that your diet is about 80-90% of your weight loss. Eating clean is paying off! I forgot to mention in my blog yesterday that I went to the gym and ran for 30 minutes straight on the treadmill. What an accomplishment. Of course, I had good Zumba music playing in my ears to keep me moving! :) I know in the weeks to come, the weight loss will slow down, and that is normal. But hey, I am going in the right direction!
Tomorrow morning I head to Salt Lake City to train for Zumbatomic. I am SO excited! Zumbatomic is Zumba for kids. This is going to be so great because I can't wait to do Zumba with little ones. Children love to move and dance, and they always keep things so simple. I have been looking forward to this training for a long time. Zumbatomic has not quite taken off yet here in the valley, and I am eager to introduce it. I want to check on summer programs and school PE programs once I am trained. What a great program Zumba is! They also offer Zumba Gold for senior citizens and Aqua Zumba for water aerobics. Those will definitely be in the future for me. All in good time :)
My advice to all of you: Stay focused. It is worth it! Keep your eye on the prize, whether it be good health, fitting into those old jeans, riding on the rides at Disneyland, feeling good in a swimsuit, etc. You can do it! Like I said before.....if I can do it, YOU can do it! Rock on!
