I finally decided last month that working out alone is not for me! If I have to go by myself I end up finding all kinds of excuses not to go. I'm actually like that with everything... I would much rather be doing things with someone than alone. I had heard through a family friend that Zumba was a fun workout to do and had great full body results. Its kinda of like working out via Latin dancing! After doing some research I found a class at the Clay Madson Rec Center in Round Rock. It was $5 per class for nonmembers and free for members. I sat down at the computer and worked up some figures in Excel (I know... I'm a dork!), and I realized it would be cheaper for me to cancel my current membership with Fitness 19 and join Clay Madson. Plus, Clay Madson offers other free classes to members like Kickboxing, Water Aerobics, and Strength/Flexibility. I figured I would be much more inclined to attend a fun class than spend 30 minute on an Elliptical. So, starting this Wednesday at 6:00pm I will be (hopefully) be dancing my way back to my pre-pregnancy weight and body shape! I just have 10lbs to go!
I started walking the lake (Lake Pflugerville) on the mornings I'm home with Kailey. She kicks back in her stroller and naps, waves at random joggers, and squeals at any dogs that pass by... it seams to be her favorite part of the day! It is about 4.5 miles from our house to the lake, around the lake, and back to the house again. Tim and Cooper have been joining us in the evenings for a 1.5 mile walk which is to the lake and back. I have really enjoyed our time walking together!! I also discovered that my iPod has a pedometer on it so i turned it on for my Saturday lake walks.......... 13,500 steps and 600 calories!! 125lbs, HERE I COME!
Finally, to really prepare for my new workout routine we went to Chili's and had one last Molten Chocolate Cake.... Gosh it was good! Kailey got to have some for the first time:
I think her face says it all!!!
