Two words......Zum Ba..

I know, I know. I keep forgetting I'm a grandmother of a 23 year old. And a 19 year old..and a 17 year old..and a 9 year old ..and a 6 year old..

I keep forgetting I have not done anything more physical than walking the dogs. Since giving birth to those grandkiddos' parents. Or the invention of the wheel...........I keep getting those two mixed up..

I keep forgetting I am still 45 pounds overweight.

So when my OLDER sister talked about a new exercise class called Zumba, I was all ears. {what a weird expression...."all ears"..and why am I picturing Prince Charles....ick}

She said there'd be dancing.

Music..

Laughter. Fun. Quick. FUN..

"Remember, be uninhibited!!" she says..

Did I mention fun? And exercise in the same post?

Ah, yes ... but the word "fun" is relative.

Fun..as in giving birth... the first time..

Fun as in knowing you have parts moving the same way as the instructor's parts..you just can see your moving parts because they are insulated with ...uh...fat..insulation..

Fun as in looking at the clock and thinking "for the love of Snuggies and all that's holy, is it over yet??"

Fun as in "ohholycrap..I can't turn this quickly..what ARE my feet doing? and what is that slapping sound my arms are doing??"

Fun as in... if this is what it takes to eat like I really want to, then just shoot me now.

Oh wait....it's over..

...and I did it..

..and I liked the music..

....and it was...fun!

Hey, are we doing this next week? I'm there! See ya next week! Bye..

What's that? I might be a little sore tomorrow?

YA THINK???

So, Darla..you Zumba too?

Was it fun? Can you move anything besides your eyeballs yet??

Ah-ha...

OK, so go out there and move something..I'm not being specific..just move...you'll feel better..and after all..it will be..

FUN!

Oh..another two words...kicked butt :-)
