OMG!!!!! No longer considered OBESE!!!!!

Well let me start by saying that today I did something that a year ago I would never have attempted. (I started taking zumba classes a month ago.) I did my first zumbathon today for Susan Koman. For two hours in the Florida sun I danced my jiggly butt off. I would like to add that I am slap wore out. Now I have been going to class twice a week and it has paid off. (Drum roll please) YAY!!!!! I am no longer obese!!!!! Just OVERWEIGHT!!!!!! I never thought I would see that!!!! I will keep doing what I'm doing to get to goal!!!! Anyone thinking about trying zumba, Go for it!!! I am one that has two left feet, but I move and keep up with everyone else. I may end up going right when everyone else is going left. It's all good here. You will be amazed at how you transform your body. I measured my waist this morning, It is a 29!!!!!! Six weeks ago it was a 33. I am so stoked!!!! So wonderful to see the numbers go down!!!

Hope everyone has a stellar weekend!!!!! :)
