This evening I went to Zumba! I just can't get enough of it. I started out with the Zumba Gold class and I have moved up to the regular Zumba class. I actually love all the classes the YMCA has to offer and I find that everyday there are at least 2 classes that I want to go to, if not more! So when they are not offering Zumba or Zumba Gold, I have some other favorites. I really enjoy the cycling, kickboxing, pilates, yoga and turbo kick classes. I like having the choice to go to a class or workout in the gym. I have been working out for 18 days now and I have lost a total of 8.4lbs. It isn't just about the weight loss which of course is good but I am feeling so much better too. I have more energy and I am much happier! I actually look forward to exercising everyday; especially when the classes don't really feel much like exercise :-)
Tonight for dinner, I made 17 bean and barley soup. I had the great idea of adding some elbow macaroni and of course I added it way too early! It was still yummy, but the pasta really thickened up the soup too much and some of the beans didn't get as soft as I wanted. But I added some more water and that seemed to help! Well, I guess that's the fun of cooking! It is all trial and error. Lesson well learned :-)
