ZUMBA!!!!

I was reading Denise's blog celebrate the small things! I admit I have a hard time doing that:(  So what if I lost 5 lbs I have 100 lbs to go.  However as I was reading it I decided yep I really do need to take a step back and celebrate the small things! For me that is Zumba! I have been doing Zumba for over a year maybe two.  I really don't remember but there were times I didn't do it for months.  Anyway Zumba is one of the things that motivate me! It is so fun and I know I don't look good doing it.  I just don't care! I feel better after each class and I am ALWAYS thankful I did it.  There are times that I wait to last minute to go because I really don't want to go.  Then I remember how great I will feel and how I feel better about myself.   Even though I go back and forth with weight gain and loss Zumba has always been there! When My mom died I had Zumba! When my grandma died I had Zumba! When my dog died I had Zumba! Every ounce of my being at times didn't want to go! My feelings were like why I am not even loosing weight.   However I went! Why you ask?  Not just because my instructor knows how to make Zumba fun! She is a great person and she is always smiling.  I love that! She motivates me! Also I have met so many people through going to that class that I have built great relationships.  Plus these people understand it all! I feel understood and they relate to what I am going through.  They also have great tips and ideas of their own that we share.  I love that! Not everyday I am going in a great mood! There are times I am depressed when I go! I might be annoyed with life and people.  So many things could be the reason! However Zumba is my medicine:) I always leave feeling like I accomplished something and I am happy!  So today I am celebrating Zumba:)
