What Rhythm???

Okay so today starts week 8! Here are the weigh in results for the week....

Nat: 149.0 (Down 9 pounds)
Mandy: 137.2 (Down 11.6 pounds)

We are doing SOOO good! Im so proud of how much weight we have lost and better than that we have gotten so much stronger!!!

So this morning was quite an adventure! Breanne told us we were going to be having a "special workout" this morning. I figured it would be some torturous running class but it wasnt....it was Zumba! She had one of her Zumba instructors come in early and teach us! I was so excited because I had heard of it several times and wanted to try it! Then the music started and I realized that the salsa portion of my brain is extremely underdeveloped.

Me & Mandy kept talking about where our rhythm went! Back in our high school days we used to go to the club and get down & dirty......and we looked good doing it! So why did we suck at Zumba? Im convinced it is because we are not used to the salsa music. I KNOW we still have rhythm because every time it came to the "hump the air" move or the "hip rolls" we were having no trouble at all! I dont know how good we looked doing it but we felt good! So even though we both looked like we had no clue what we were doing, it was a lot of fun! Its a very high energy class with constant moving around! The instructor had some serious salsa rhythm.....her ass bounced to the music perfectly! The music was SO fast and her butt was just bouncing right on the beat every time! I dont know why mine cant do that! Oh well......I would totally do it again just because it was so fun!

Going into our final week our goals of 135 (Mandy) & 145 (Nat) are looming over our heads. We both really want to meet our goals but we dont plan on stopping our weight loss journey with this week. We plan on continuing throughout the rest of the Summer and of course when we go back to school we want to make sure we focus on taking care of ourselves so that we don't gain it back! Wish us luck for our final week! Our next workout is Mt. Rubidoux on Thursday....I am SO dreading it because we apparently have to run (yes run) up it....the steep route. So who wants to help me think of a REALLY good excuse for why I cant make it :) Just kidding Breanne.....I will be there!

XOXO,

Nat
