My ZUMBA certification is coming up next week!!! I'm so excited! I had another good class today. I was missing a couple of people who normally attend but that's ok. Still had a great time and a great workout! The ladies are getting a huge kick out of the belly scarves I had bought for the class. I'm so happy I could make their day that much more jingly. ;) They're all pretty excited for me to go get my certification too. They all hooted and hollered when I told them I was gonna go get it officially. I'm so happy I have these girls--now I need to see if I can expand my clientele even more so.
Kyle and I are learning a new skill. We signed up last week for 4 private dance lessons. We're learning the Lindy Hop swing dance right now. We had our first lesson today and it was fun! I think we're getting the hang of it, actually! I did end up being dizzy by the end of the lesson because there's a lot of spinning for the follow part. It was a great workout as well for the legs. I'm feeling pretty fatigued now. But I feel great. I'm having to wear a knee brace though right now because of the increased amount of dancing I'm doing--it gets kinda hard on my knees. Plus, having been a runner in the past, my knees are feeling it. I don't mind though. I've started taking some Glucosamine/Chondroitin and wearing the brace now. I wore the brace today and my knee felt loads better. No major pain twinges. I had a difficult time this past week trying to workout, thus, didn't work out as much as I usually do in order to give my knee a rest. On Wednesday during my normal Zumba class time, where I'm the participant, my knee really wasn't having any of it and I ended up really having to take the intensity down a couple of notches (which I hate doing that) but I needed to reserve my strength for the weekend. I'm going to continue wearing the brace every day this week to kinda help stabilize my knee and see how that works. And, of course, continue taking the supplement. :)
This week I start administering the English Language Assessment for the Caldwell School District. It's gonna be a busy few weeks up until late March, but it'll be some good money for me for a solid month. No wondering for awhile about where I'm going and if I'm gonna get called to sub. It'll be a nice distraction. Pretty soon, it'll be that time to really start looking for future employment. I'm really hoping SOMETHING materializes for me in the next few months. I'm patiently waiting for that perfect job (well, it might not be perfect, but it'll be something I've been waiting for for a LONG time).

Billie Jean's...not my lover?
Hahahaha..Just thought I'd catch your attention with a goofy title. The reason I made it that way was because we did a new routine this morning in ZUMBA class to that song by Michael Jackson. I think everybody loved it!! I made $30 today! It's not all about the money though...we got a great workout in and everybody had fun!! The money does help, however. It makes driving the 20 minutes to downtown Boise even MORE worth it besides the fact that I get to share my love for ZUMBA. I just leave that class with such an endorphin high. It's so much fun dancing in that class. It seriously does not feel like you're working out. Seriously. I want everybody to try it. When I come home, I will have my ipod ready and we will have our own ZUMBA session. Complete with belly scarves. :) Well, those might be a little harder to get on the plane...I'll have to see what I can do.
Now, Weight Watchers is going to have to their annual Walk It Out 5K challenge. My leader was saying that if we do it on Sunday, we could start out earlier and have a big party afterward. Where am I going with this? Well, I've sent her an email with a small proposal about that challenge day... How's about I put on a little ZUMBA party for everyone after the challenge? I'd do it for free probably. I don't mind. It's for a good healthy cause--getting people to move more. She hasn't replied yet but that's because I've only just sent the email. We'll see. I see it as a wonderful opportunity to spread the word about these classes, not only mine (although that's a really good way to spread the word for myself) but to also let people know that this is an excellent cardio alternative to the boring treadmill/stair climbers and such. It's just pure fun!
I've also had the secretary at the catholic high school I sub for tell me that she'd like it if I held a ZUMBA session after school one day at the school for the teachers or something. That would be awesome too!! Anyway, I'm having a lot of fun with this. Who knows? Might be a career choice... ;)
