Zumba class, week 1

I signed up for a Zumba class through my township’s recreation program. I went to one class almost exactly five years ago (Something about September that makes me do silly things to stave off mortality, I guess) and PREDICTABLY* never went back.

This time I paid for eight weeks upfront, so I’m pitting my increasing laziness against my increasing cheapness to see what will win out. I think I did okay, but I have to realize that me THINKING I can do any type of aerobic dance is the same as Joey Tribbiani THINKING that he can speak French.

I sweat my ass off and felt as if I fused permanently with my workout clothes. Tomorrow I will likely feel like crap but today I feel okay!

*Other predictable things about me:

  • All of my diets fail
  • And if they don’t, I gain the weight back
  • I will always disappear from this blog and come back like nothing happened
  • I quit hard things
  • I have a Disney trip planned

Hello!

About Me

I've been blogging for over twenty (2 decades! 2-0!) years and I'm apparently one of the few over-50 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun, and unprofitable. No big. However, if you're from Disney, Doritos, or Dave Matthews Band, I'm open to talk about selling out.

I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dog Murphy. I'm an adult who likes Disney but not a Disney Adult. I used to work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia, but since March of 2020 I'm a work from home hermit. So if you're looking for a childless, slightly round, marginally boring GenX woman's blog to follow, you've come to the right place! :)
