New Years Resolution...the BIG question of the day????? As I began the New Year of 2012, my one resolution was to loose weight (no surprise)! However, I did not start right away of course. But before I knew it the year was half way over! In July of 2012, with the CONSTANT asking of Cherie Miller Prentiss, I finally stepped into my first Zumba class. My one and only word to describe the way I felt when I left that day...AMAZING!!!! The next day not so much ;-) Every part of my body HURT!!! But I went again and again and again. I realized that this might be something that I could stick with but not just on my own. I was blessed to have that invitation from Cherie to get me in the door but I was also blessed to have the BEST Zumba instructor, Tajuana Zumba Glaude (she is the reason I stayed) and I met my very BEST friend, Janet Alford Cady, who still encourages me every day!! These women have made a huge impact on my life and I truly thank them for it. I tell you this because loosing weight is not easy and sometimes it takes a team. Lucky for me, my team were these ladies and of course ZUMBA!! I started my journey at 162 pounds and wearing a size 12/14 but that was just on the outside. On the inside, I was not happy with myself and I was worried about my health (not just for me but for my girls as well). After 2 1/2 years on this journey, I have lost 45 pounds and 5 dress sizes. Zumba changed all that for me :-) In March of 2014, I became a licensed Zumba instructor...WooHoo!!! I now live each day wanting to spread that LOVE and the benefits of Zumba. Now this is only MY story, I know each and every person has his/her own either with Zumba or some other healthy work out program. I encourage you to find what works for YOU! And if you want to feel the LOVE and excitement of our Zumba family, PLEASE feel free to come join us anytime! Best wishes to you all in this New Year and I hope to see you in class soon :-)
