The Night Before Zumba

Last night I wrote to all my Zumba for Life instructors to run my training blog idea by them and I received enthusiastic responses all round.  In fact I am already booked for my first Zumba class tomorrow at 9 a.m. with Melissa Lopez the "fitness chica"  in White Plains. When my wife Debbue heard me say that I was taking the class she hollered from 3 rooms away "You'll never make it!"  It's funny she doesn't hear me or talk to me when we are in the same room, but when I'm talking to someone else and she is a few rooms away she hears everything and joins the conversation.  Anyway,  I'm not really sure what to expect since Melissa will be my first Zumba class ever! I thought the 9am class was a good idea since in then gives me about 48 hours until I have to go to work, which should be sufficient recovery time to at least walk. In anticipation of the class I started today off by trying to eat right throughout the day in an effort to mentally commit myself to these workouts. My mental committment suffers each time I glance at myself in the mirror so it's harder than you think.  I even finished the day off by getting me some new "Zumba Sneakers".  I hope they will add a little pizazz to the shapeless black workout gear I have.  Finally, to top things off I recruited by friend Mikey B to take the trip up to White Plains in the morning to help me with the media end of this blog.  So I am all ready to go.  I don't think Zumba will effect my fingers so look for an update tomorrow! By the way, the under/over on how long I will last for this first class is 10 minutes.....what do you think?
