I LOVE Zumba!!

I had such a fun, sweaty time at my first Zumba class the other night.  Loved it.  Absolutely loved it.  I'll admit, my mind was going 100 miles an hour while I was waiting for the class to start.  It went something like this:

"Oh, no, I'm the only one who doesn't speak spanish, this is no bueno"
"Where is the instructor, he's late, this is not cool"
"Really?  Why does there have to be windows, and why did I plant myself in front of one? Now when the people using the weights look in, my big ass is the first one they will see."
"I bet all these other girls are gonna be amazing at this, and laughing at the rhythmless white girl in the back in spanish"
"Seriously, where is the instructor??  Class was supposed to start 10 minutes ago"
"I already hate the mirrors in here, I look so big....this is a cruel punishment to put mirrors AND windows"
"Maybe this isn't the right class for me, if the instructor is already 15 minutes late, and I'm the only one who doesn't speak Spanish, maybe I should have gone with the granny Zumba class....I would definitely out dance them!"
"Was the class cancelled and no one told us?"
"If he's not here by 6:15, I'm leaving"
"Oh shit, he's here.....oh man, lets try not to suck"
"Oh yay, I can do this!! And the girls in front of me keep messing up big time!!!!  And more non-spanish-speaking people came in!! yay!!"

A lot of it was easy, but there were ones I had trouble with, but I'll get better.  It was intense, though. A song would end and I'd start wiping the sweat from my face and the next song was already starting before I could get a drink of water.  You don't get much down time.  Luckily, each time I felt like I was going to completely lose my breath, he slowed down the pace a bit.  I'm really looking forward to going on a weekly basis.  It was a lot of fun, and part of me is really happy because I am sort of getting to live out my childhood dream of being in dance class.  I wanted to be in dance so so so so bad, but never got to, I was put in Girl Scouts instead.  So this is definitely my new thing. :)

I decided against weighing in this week, bloating from it being that time of the month PLUS us making our own versions of Toasty Cheese again last night just isn't fair.  I don't mind so much showing a gain, but lets give it another week, lol
