The After Zumba Post

It's amazing how a little workout can change your whole attitude, good or bad.

Today I actually got to Zumba 1/2 hr. early, hence how I was able to write a post earlier. It was nice to have some 'me' time. Then I went into Zumba and sat on the floor to stretch. Some lady, whom I know I've chit-chatted with before started talking to me. She asked me if I knew if the normal instructors were back (Kandi & Angie went on vacation together and they are the normal awesome instructors). I told her that they weren't back and that the instructor was some girl named Missy, but I've never been to her class before, I just heard that she was good (aka from some random post on some person's facebook wall).

Then my amazing Zumba partner, Angie (not instructor Angie), showed up. We talked and were ready to start the Zumba Party!

Some girl runs to the front of the class in a pink Zumba shirt. Angie and I looked at each other and said, "That must be her, huh?!"

The class started out rather slow. Ang & I looked at eachother like, "Really?!" Maybe I am just biased and used to the normal instructors, but she was in a league of her own. I understand that every Zumba place has a different vibe, for instance, KMonique's (dance studio feel) is different than Tumble X (fitness feel), the Y (I don't know, I've never been to Zumba at the Y, I've just heard about it) is different too. Each place has their own nitch and I think it's great.

What I don't think is great is the fact that this girl did not even tell us what she was going to do next. She just kinda did her own thing and some of the moves didn't seem like Zumba moves at all. Very weird. She was lifeless and it seemed like she wasn't getting into it at all.

Then around 40 minutes in, it was like her RedBull kicked in or something and she got into it. She did a random loud "Squak" in the middle of a song. It was really funny. Ang & I just looked at eachother like 'oh my goodness, this is too much!' She started getting into it and going up to random people and getting in their faces while doing her moves. She turned around and faced the class. It was like, wow, do you really want to see how bad you are screwing us up or what?!

Then an older song came on and it started out faster then she slowed it down to be the cool down, but it wasn't a cool down song. Very odd. After Zumba come to a hault, the substitute instructor told us to take a look at the oils. Ang & I were like, "Oils?!"

Apparently this lady sells oils too. She rushed to the front counter, where she had all of her oils setting out, so that she could sell her oils to us. As we were walking out she was telling people to try her oils out. We were like, no thanks. Ang & I looked at each other like, "Don't quit your day job lady." Oh my, I'm sorry, but wow!

Everyone was asking when the normal girls were coming back and if Kandi was going to be there Monday night because if she was going to be back Monday, then people would go Monday night. Again I say, oh my~

We didn't get much of a workout burn, but it was fun because Ang & I were together and we were moving and I guess that is all that matters.

So on my way home, I was in such a funk from this exhiliarating workout that I stopped at Dunkin Donuts to bring my family home breakfast and yes I did have a donut. It is not a snack, it is BREAKFAST (thats what I am telling myself anyway, since I gave up treats for lent).

Today, I am thankful for Kandi & Angie M. (the normal Zumba instructors at TX). I have missed you girls and have felt like I have been on vacation while you were on vacation (except I didn't have the nice FL atmosphere). I can't wait to have girls back! Lovies!
