the chubby exercise hater is back!

I know it has been postively forever. Well, today was the fresh start which I was so dreading. I knew when I got up today I would have to face the scale which I have been dreading even more then putting my post here. I though for sure I put on weight since our last First Place meeting. Since class stopped we have thrown 2 baby showers for my sister Brianne (due anyday,) I have been sick and had little to NO energy, I have been eatting badly when I did eat and basically i was just doing everything wrong. It wasn't totally intentional though some of it was that I physically couldn't handle it. So anyway, I took of my coat, and shoes and removed EVERYTHING from my pockets and as the number revealed itself I found myself almost in tears. I was back down to 172. That is my lowest weight since giving birth either times. I thought I was prepared to see the scale stop at 180, but to be down was an overwhelming gift and I take NO credit what so ever for it. that was totally a God thing!!!! I know I have to really work hard to maintain that and hopefully keep the numbers going down again. I am still a little in shock. THANK YOU JESUS!!!!!!!!
So my other bit of news I was hired this week at a new Zumba studio in Marysville. I wasn't really looking for a job or anything, but this just fell in my lap, so I though I would give it a try. I will just be teaching 2 morning classes a week from 9:30 to 10:30. I can do whatever music I want, so i can still throw in some of the stuff I do at the church and I don't know I am pretty excited about it. It isn't like it is a lot of extra money or anything, but I am getting paid to do Zumba. I can not think of a better way to earn some extra cash. So I start that this Thursday. More on taht later though!
Well, i am actually supossed to be getting the girls and I packed. We are heading to Great Wolf Lodge tomorrow after Alaina gets out of school. We are just going down for the night and coming home Tuesday afternoon in time for MCN Zumba. I love Tuesday Zumba!!! I ahve some of the most amazing people in my class. They just make me smile!!! Anyway, little family get away and I am so excited. I love water slides and my parents are going with us so I will be able to do some of the "adult stuff" too. I am blessed!!! And I am slowly, but surely getting to the goal. I am taking my sweet time, but it is all good. God is good! Someday i will look back and read my blog and I will just sit her crying and rejoicing at all that God brought me through. Thanks for reading along. I will try very hard to post regularly thoughout this session of First place. My little goal for the next 10 weeks...Lose 12-15 lbs. So hopefullI will weight some where in the low 160s. Wow, that doesn't seem possible. It is so true though with Christ ALL things are possible. Even for a chubby, exercise hater to become an active and excited fitness instructor...I never thought I would see the day! I will talk to ya'll soon!!!! Have a GREAt week!!!
