July 21st, 2011 - TJ Day!!!

July 21st I will be performing my first tandem sky dive jump with my friend Patrick.  We have a trade show to do in Wilmington, OH that weekend.  So, the plan is to drive down early in the day, get the booth setup and then had an hour away and do the jump.  A few friends are coming with us to watch and possibly photograph us.  I really can't wait. 

My friends and family think I've gone off the deep end.  They all think I need a shrink.  Well, I'll tell you what.  I might, but I'd rather just jump.  I can't wait to feel that free falling feeling in my tummy.  In recent years I've really been wanting to try and do more exciting things like sky dive, bungee jump, white water rafting, and rock climbing.  I just could never find anyone to do these things with.  My friends won't do these things with me, or they say they will and never follow through.  In my past relationships, the guys were just not that adventurous.  So, now I finally have a friend that likes these crazy things. 

So, I will post after the jump.  I'm hoping to get a little video or pictures from it.  For the cost, it should be included. 

I need a ZA support group - Zumba Anonymous

Ha!  So, I've recently discovered the Zumba workout dvds.  After the first try I thought, there's no way I'll ever get this.  I couldn't do the moves.  I was tripping all over the place.  But, I went back again and again and have now grown to really love it.  It reminds me of when I was in my early 20's and I used to go clubbing in downtown Cleveland.  I used to be a great little dancer. 

So, a week and a half of doing this workout and I'm starting to see my hips move more.  My big ol' belly is starting to shrink little by little.  I really think this might be the part of my workout routine to really help me get back into a healthy shape and weight.  So, to all you ladies out there that think you cannot do this, trust me, you can. 

Zumba!!!
