This morning I finally was able to take my first Zumba class, which I thoroughly enjoyed.
Why has it taken me all of this time to go to a class? Because I was nervous. I had watched all the ladies, every time I went to work out at the gym, and they all seemed to know each other and were having a good time. Being the shy and quiet type, I was a little worried that I might not fit in....literally...like they all had their places in class and there was no room for one more.
I got to the gym a half hour ahead of time, just like it said to do on the schedule, and there was one girl ahead of me. I stood next to her and soon there were a dozen or so women, all lined up to get their purple pass.
I actually said hi to the woman next to me and told her that this was my first time. She was very nice and gave me some pointers. Then she asked if I had just joined the gym. Uhg! I was a little embarrassed, or I should say I would have been embarrassed if I had told the truth, that I had been a member for 8 months. But, I let her believe that I was fairly new. This just made me feel bad that I have still not gotten into a real fitness routine, nor have a done a very good job changing my eating habits.
You know, life gets in the way. From bad work schedules to bad colds, it's all happened to me so far this year. But I am not stopping. As long as you're moving forward, you are moving in the right direction.
Don't quit. Don't stop trying to be better. Don't stop making better food choices. Keep making the effort to better your health. Keep looking for new ways to keep your interest....like taking a
ZUMBA class!!!!
