At the Pink of Perfection

Ok, now that Thanksgiving week has passed, it's time to get serious on getting healthy and working out more.  A week of watching movies, eating, watching more movies, more eating, and slumming is over, and I've avowed to lose ten pounds by Christmas.  Anyone want to join me?

I started Ten Pound Tuesday because I'm pretty sure 99% of people want to lose a minimum of 10lbs.  And isn't that first 10lbs the easiest? It definitely is for me!

 As I was thinking of what to post today to get Ten Pound Tuesday off the ground again, I couldn't help but think of a way my older brother E teases me.  He says I always have to have the 'stuff' or 'accessories' before embarking on anything.  This is SO true. 

But really, what's wrong with it? What's wrong with feeling FABULOUS? I like to look good while exercising, it adds a little something to my confidence.  I've read multiple articles about this, so I know I'm not alone. 

Today I'm going to highlight two of my favorite workouts, Zumba and Tennis. 

First up, Zumba.



Post Zumba workout glow!

Spring of 2009, I saw a banner for a local gym advertising Hip Hop and Zumba classes, and called the moment I saw it to inquire.  I've been hooked since.  The Hip Hop class was very disappointing, but Zumba was where it's AT! The teacher I had there (at Shenandoah Power House Gym), Kari, was AMAZING.  But then she left. Boo.  I have since taken it at multiple locations, and although it's not Kari, they're all fabulous.  If you haven't tried Zumba yet, what are you waiting for? The time flies by, and it's (dare I say it?) FUN.
