Addicted

After our crazy Friday night, I came home exhausted.  I decided a big change needed to take place.  I am so tired of feeling sluggish, tired and just plain old.  So I did something about it!  I haven't gone to the gym in years!!  I workout at home on occasion, but nothing challenging and I certainly don't push myself.  I woke up Saturday, threw on my workout clothes and off I went.

I decided to try the new gym by our house because they have tons of group classes and I know I am motivated by classes.  I realized I forgot my wallet after I was inside and I wasn't about to go home.  No excuses.  I went inside and the nice kid at the desk let me go ahead and try out the Zumba class that was about to start.  I walked in just as the teacher was starting and the only spot was front and center. Awesome.  I shook my stuff for the entire hour and before I knew it, the class was over.  I felt amazing!

Tired.  But Amazing.

Sunday morning was Hip Hop and I was so excited to try out this class!   The teacher was INSANE .. all caps!  She was non stop .. go go go.. and I was soaking wet.  I ran into a fellow heart mom, literally, ran into her.  Then I ran into a fellow dance mom from my dancing days.  The class was intense and again, I left feeling so great!

Monday was exhausting and Carson was running late.  I had a million excuses why I shouldn't go, but I laced up my shoes and off I went.  As soon as Carson ran in the front door, he was greeted with a kiss and an 'adios amigo'.  I went to another Zumba class and was surprised to find the Hip Hop teacher was instructing.  My first thought was walk out of the room and no one will notice.. Ha.  I settled into a spot off to the side and oh my goodness... killer workout!!

Tonight is another Zumba class with a new instructor and I just signed up for a Ballet Fusion class for Tue/Thur nights.  If this schedule doesn't beat me into shape, I don't know what will! 

I am addicted!! 

I hope my gym addiction sticks and that I can shred some pounds.  I'll post some before and afters as soon a I start seeing those "after" results.  Whenever that shall be.

There hasn't been much more going on around here.  I am working on some fall crafts to transform our house for Halloween.  I really need to splurge on a Sillouette or Cricut.. any advice on one vs the other? 

I did get a call from my Nephrologist and it turns out there are no cysts on my kidney.  They did find fluid pockets on the kidney so they are sending me to a urologist for further testing.  I'm not too worried.  I have a cardiology appointment on Thursday to further investigate this "murmur" that the Nephrologist was sure he heard.  Again.  I'm not worried. 

We continue to countdown to Disneyworld.  We started movie theme nights this weekend and my kids loved "The Little Mermaid".  We ate sushi, cuddled on the couch and enjoyed watching an older disney movie.  We have a whole list of movies to watch before we go!   I got a call from Owen's wish manager and the airline tickets have been purchased and so I got the go ahead to reserve his portable oxygen for the plane.  Everything is moving forward.  We are just 2 months 1 week away!
