Today I went to my first Zumba class, post-WLS. For those of you who don't know, Zumba is latin aerobics. It is a dance class, it is aerobics, it is Jazzercise, who cares what it is... IT IS FUN and it gets ya moving.
I think that is one of the keys to weight loss, well for me anyway. The moving part. Prior to surgery, moving wasn't a pleasant experience for me or anyone around me, for that matter! Ok, forget moving, just walking wasn't a good experience. NOW, moving is a good thing. A really good thing. I enjoy it. I am not even moving a turtle speeds anymore. I am not at rabbit speeds, but I am not at turtle speeds.
I kept up with my class today. I didn't have all the moves down, but I kept up! If I messed up, I just laughed and kept moving until I caught up again. I turned beet red and had a blast doing it!
Get out there, take a chance, and KEEP IT MOVING!
