LittleBlueCat - Do you have a favourite zumba track?
zumba track? you mean a particular song? program?
I wanted to get the zumba dance for the wii, but Santa didn't bring it, and I'm too cheap to buy it myself. I may have to give in and actually buy it myself soon. For now I go to actual classes two to three times a week. If I make it Saturday, that would be the third class.
What I also want is the heart rate thing that will tell you exactly how many calories you burn at zumba class. I know on average it's about 600-1000 depending how hard you work it... it would be nice to know the exact calorie burn, wouldn't it?
Sounds like a great idea!
Ive lost 2.4 lbs in the last 3 days, so my goal for Feb. 14th is 10 lbs! Seems like a realistic goal to me! Ive been doing well in terms of dieting, but I need to find the motivation to exercise. My excuse is that I've been sick for the last week. Excuses, excuses haha! I think if I start exercising (consistently) the weight will fall off.

Me too! Ok w food, but no exercise this week.
Lost more wt and was 146.8 this am. This is the lowest number I've seen in years.
145.6 today! Definitely incentive to not blow it with bad meal choices. Meeting up with a friend for lunch.
Update:
I've done relatively ok.
Not sure how I've lost 4 pounds this week.
I've been overeating every other day (not junk. "Good" foods, but still..)
And No exercise.
So basically I've been extremely lucky this week.

I really like l'amore - we danced to that yesterday with whole big sections of jumping jacks...
We also danced to danza kuduro yesterday...
I really like some of the oldies and goodies like mueve la colita and wiggle wiggle...
If you are looking to do zumba in the home - why not do what I do and look for the songs on you tube... Loads of people put up their favourite tracks on you tube so you can put together a play list and play it for free...
If you dont know many song names I can tell you some more of the ones that I like...
My food and exercise was good for yesterday (over 28,000 steps on the pedometer by the end of the day with my classes) - but my food was high sodium (200g smoked salmon) so I got a 1.4 pound gain today... I'll have to drink extra water to flush it out of my system...
I'm also in! Thing is, I already have a really agressive goal of 220 set for Valentine's Day. I am just starting out, so maybe it's still realistic? Not sure, in any case I do want to make some significant progress by then so I will set a more modest goal of ten pounds here.
My steps were low yesterday so I got on the treadmill late at night (and just got my steps up to the 15,000 I like to see as a minimum at 10 to midnight)...
that was close!!!
I was really pleased that I did as I didnt gain today despite having a piece of cake yesterday when spending the day with friends...
I would like to weigh 140 or less by Valentine's Day. I'm guessing my starting weight for the challenge is somewhere around 147 but it could be slightly lower.
I'd like to eat more veggies. I'd also like to cook more often and that doesn't mean throwing on a tv dinner...
Decreasing my mile time would be nice as well but it's been cold out and I tend to hibernate in the winter which is why this is gonna be a little tough. =)
My mile time is currently 11:16 but I'm not sure how to speed it up. My roommate said to do intervals instead so I might try that.
So far, I've had mostly veggies because they're so easy to put in a crock pot.
My weight goal, though, I'm not so sure about. I wrote that when I thought I weighed 147 or 145 but the scale here is showing 141. Now I'm wondering what scale I should follow... I'm also wondering if I have anything that I know the weight of.
I would like to get to 92 kilos (200 pounds) by Valentine's Day. That was the thinnest I got before I moved out in September (haven't been able to lose back the weight, and I put on 3 kilos since my boyfriend arrived in December, and also with the holidays). My current weight is 97.4 kilos (214 pounds).
My rules are to go back into my diet, properly (circadian rythms diet, and going back properly would involve eating the foods I have to eat at each moment of the day, and not eat forbidden ones, like carbs after midday, for example, as well as eating more fruits and veggies). Also, going back to wheat/gluten free eating (my digestive system will appreciate it). Finally, I will be going to the gym three times a week, and I hope to be able to go to the beach a bit more frequently (it's summer here, and the beach is almost round the corner).
I would like to join this challenge also I did horrible over the holidays and gained 5lbs...ugh By Valentine's day I'd like to get to 175lbs. Valentine's day is a big day at my house, it is my anniversary and my youngest son's birthday
I put together a couple of playlist on youtube with Zumba dances! That is my workout during the week. On the weekend my husband and I do Just Dance 3 & 4 on the wii. Go on youtube and search Amberblanch. She is a Zumba instructor that post her workout videos and they are so fun!!
Yesterday there was a big chocolate bar in my mailbox.
It has caramel too. A gift from a neighbor.
It is a three servings bar.
I didn't open it. It's just sitting with the rest of my mail.
For now.
I've been doing well in terms of food and exercise. I need to drink more water, but that's always a problem for me. My weight is up slightly right now (I know, it hasn't even been a week yet).
Last night I went to a fitness class that was described as an interval cardio class with a core segment at the end. It was insane... sprinting, burpees, push-ups, lunges, mountain climbers, etc. I'm sore already. That's probably part of the weight I've gained.
Speaking of drinking water and fitness classes, if I'm gonna go to a strength class at noon, I'd better go drink some more water now.
