Finding Motivation

I'm pretty sure that anyone who knows me knows that I LOVE Zumba! I've actually thrown around the idea of becoming a certified Zumba instructor, however it's expensive and the next training in MN is full. The next opportunity that I've heard of isn't until October, so we'll see. About 2 months ago, I bought a Groupon to a place called Dancer's Studio. The Zumba instructor that I have at Shoreview Community Center (Renee) also teaches there, so I had to grab the amazing deal! Two weeks ago, Renee told all of us that her last day teaching will be June 10 because she's moving to Duluth for the Physical Therapy program. Of course I was so bummed because Renee is an amazing teacher!

Anyway, I hadn't used my Groupon because I had conflicts both nights she teaches, but those have ended. So last night I decided I wanted to get to Zumba tonight and start taking advantage of my 11 classes. I get home from work today and I have a horrible headache and I'm feeling weak because I have no appetite. But then I remember how good I feel when I'm doing Zumba so I force a small dinner down and I get over to St. Paul. I'm SO glad I did! The space there is so much bigger than SCC and I had so much room to move around and it was kind of dark so I could shake it up a little more without feeling self-conscious.

I'm still toying with the idea of getting certified and I have Renee to thank for that. I enjoy Zumba so much and I see how much fun she has teaching it. Maybe when I get closer to my goal, I'll feel more comfortable having every single person in a big room watching ME and what I'm shaking :)
