I’m BACK!
September 1, 2010
I am SO very glad to be back! I am pleased to say that Tater was born on July 29th at 2:00 am! After an excruciating 8 hours of labor (thanks to him being extremely HUGE!), he was born via c-section. I’ve been recuperating for the last month, and am SO ready to lose this baby weight!! Tater is doing well. He just needs to learn how to sleep at night!! I’ve decided that if I’m going to be up at all hours, I need to have a few quick and fun workouts to help jump-start my journey (since I’m not allowed to run just yet) back into looking FAB. A good friend gave me the Zumba Fitness Total Body Transformation System DVD Set
and I couldn’t wait to try it. Y’all know that I’m a die-hard barre workout/kettlebell/PINK Fitness girl when it comes to strength and flexibility…but without running, my cardio is hurting! SO, I was pleasantly surprised when I found that I actually ENJOYED a ‘dance’ workout DVD. Huh. I’ve always abhorred other dance workouts that I’ve tried (short of Cardio Barre), but this was actually FUN! I can honestly say that I won’t do it in front of Ish…but by myself at 2 in the morning, I had a blast! The music made me want to move, the instruction was good (if you try this set, be careful of the cueing and editing…there are a few moments where they do not match!), and I couldn’t believe that my 20 minute workout was OVER so quickly. I will admit that I was VERY winded when I was finished, but I really felt that I’d accomplished something…now I’m off to do some Bar Method!!

So… I’ve just started C25K my knees are holding up (I’ve had two knee surgeries and always thought I could not run) and I kind of like running. I would TOTALLY love to try ZUMBA! I danced for 12 years and think it would be so much! Thanks for the give away! Wendy (grady&finnsmom)
That’s awesome! Glad you found something you enjoy!
sooooo glad you are back chica!!! and that tater is doing well!!!
i am going to have to jump on the home dvd wagon after my little dude is born and i’ve recouped as well! not gonna have a lot of time to jet out to the gym!! i did get a jogger stroller ($10 yard sale score!) but i am scheduled for a repeat c-section on sept 13th so i know it’ll be a while before i lace up the jogging shoes… not to mention its probably going to be rough running with such a loooong break!!! i am excited to be on the baby weight loss journey with ya!!! welcome back! take it easy and keep loving that tater!!!
