I would like to start tonight by introducing a band buddy that is going through a tough time. She and I were banded the same time and since then we both have not seen the scale move. We have talked about how we sometimes feel that this too will fail just like every other diet or program that we have tried. We have really been going through bandster hell. Here's the difference......I have been blogging and getting AMAZING feedback from my followers. I get encouragement and the occasional "SNAP OUT OF IT" from all of you! I appreciate EVERYTHING that is said because I do want this tool to help me and I want to follow your advice since you all are "experts" in my opinion. The other day we were texting and she was telling me that she is still having a rough time so I asked if she has been blogging these thoughts and emotions and she said NO because when she does she doesn't get any comments. So, I am reaching out to all my followers asking you to help this blogger because she needs it. We all need one another's support and encouragement! Her name is Melissa. Please visit her blog and send her a LOT of warm fuzzies! Thank you!
Ok, so I went to Zumba tonight and it kicked my ASS! Now, I would like to share that I didn't know any of the moves and was extremely grateful that there were NO MIRRORS in the room because if I would have seen my big butt shaking and gyrating...I may have vomited a little in my mouth! There were 5 other women and they clearly did not know all the moves either but were more experienced than me. The woman next to me was probably in her 70's and she shook that money maker better than a 22 year old pole dancer! It was awesome yet a little irritating that she was shaking her groove thang better than me! Overall the class was ok. I am going to go again next week and try it again. I am also going to look into some other classes that the fitness center has. We live in a very small town so classes are limited but I am planning on joining the fitness center and using the equipment like the dreaded elliptical.
Goodnight all....please go see Melissa! Thank you!!! ((Hugs))

Hey Kerry... I stopped by Melissa's... It is hard to get followers on here, I know I cherish each one of mine. I have had a great experience being part of this community and you never have to feel alone since someone has been through what you are now going through. I am doing water aerobics since it is supposed to be kinder to my bad knees, etc. I will zumba one day but not anytime soon...*Maria*
ReplyDeleteHey Kerry... I wish we had Zumba classes here in my area. I have to make do with a DVD. I love it, even if I don't have all the moves yet.
ReplyDeleteI stopped by Melissa's and I know how she feels. Sometimes it feels like you'll never get some followers. But a comment makes me feel all that much better.
Loveing Zumba if I can ever get back there! Stopped by your friends blog-its hard to get started with followers, but her numbers are going up!!
ReplyDeleteThat reminds me of the hip hop cardio class next door to the Spin room. There's a window in the door and I can see a corner of the mirror, and there's always this woman who is in loooooooooooove with her reflection. I can practically see her undressing herself with her eyes! She does have a pretty amazing body so I can't blame her, but I just laugh the whole time because she's SOOOOO into it! She's totally a "Real Housewife" type too. =)
ReplyDeleteI felt the same as you in the beginning...like I would fail at this too. Guess what???? It's not going to fail - t works if you work with it! Hang in there :)
ReplyDeleteVisited and now follow Melissa. I can also say, that if you comment on other blogs a lot, others will generally comment back. We can't find everyone. As to being stuck weight loss wise, it will come. I was stuck for two months but am now moving slowly down. It's nice to know you aren't alone.
ReplyDeleteKeep plugging away...we all need to get through these periods where the scale doesn't budge...Hang in there toots.
