The "best summer ever"

I tossed around many names for this post.

The girls of zumba

Zumba summer

etc.

But the bottom line is, this was the best summer ever. For me. For my health. It's the first time in YEARS (as in 20+ years) that I've really made myself a priority. I gave myself only the money to pay for the zumba classes, but the time to attend them.

I made it to 22 out of 27 summer zumba classes. And I loved every one of them. My joints are better, I've lost weight, and my cardio ability is so much better. I am stronger, leaner, and healthier. And so happy about it.

And so sad it's over.

I've loved my summer zumba sessions. We are a crazy group of ladies - not your typical zumba group I'm sure. A mix of mothers, and daughters, friends, and co-workers. In age, we range from 16-60+. From young, healthy girls to overweight women like myself trying to get healthy.

I've found my groove again. I have always loved dancing, and zumba gave me that back. I'm going to miss it terribly. But hopefully I'll use my moves as I clean house, garden, etc. Won't quite be the class, but it will be fun.
