{i need to work on my moves}

yesterday, i mentioned how i was going to a zumba class. i had heard great things -  latin music, dance-infused workout. and on the description, it said "beginners welcome." i have some moves in my repertoire, i can handle this.

nope.

this class was insane.

i looked like the unfortunate skinny girl in the white tank top in the above video. i laughed at myself the entire hour (added abs workout), and i'm sure about 70% of the class laughed at me too.

i'm shuffling around like ozzy osbourne today. apparently, i used some atrophied muscles last night. for as silly as i felt, i think i had fun. and i'm definitely going to do it again, because i hate not being good at something. once i get this down, shakira can eat her heart out.

{the new year means...}

new gym memberships! yep, i was one of those resolution fulfillers that joined a new gym the beginning of the year. actually, it was the end of december, so i was ahead of the game. in my defense, i hated my last gym & its lack of classes & overall icky-ness. what better time than the new year specials?

and we all know the best thing about joining a new gym is the tight, hot bod excuse to buy new workout accessories! first on my agenda was shoes. i ended up scoring a killer deal that blew my consumer consciousness. dsw was having a 50% off clearance sale, and i found a pair of a.sics that would work quite nicely.

hubs found a pair of e.tonics that worked for him.

both on clearance, both then 50% off + free shipping (because you know I'm a rewards member) came to the tune of a sweet $50. can you believe it?!

going to break them in tonight at zumba. actually, trying out zumba tonight too. lots of experiments. full report to come.
