Adventures in Zumba Land

Hello, nobody!

Today I went on an adventure into the land of Zumba already accepting the fact that I was going to look like a fool.... however, I didn't particularly feel like one. I thought I wasn't going to enjoy it but honestly I had a BLAST. It was so awesome. I'm sure it didn't hurt any that my Weight Watcher's leader runs the Zumba classes but I love to dance and I enjoyed myself greatly.

I do have a polar HRM so I put that on before I went and after 55 minutes of latin awesomeness I burned 876 calories and even though I got lost 3 or 4 times I kept up pretty damn good with the skinny minnies and white girls sans rhythm. (Not that I'm a white girl with latin rhythm but there's some promise there, it's the band geek in me that can keep the count)

Now to get Momma C to go.... (when her knee is better)

I think I'm going to do it again this Thursday after my classes. Tomorrow and Wednesday after I get my first tattoo I'll attempt to make it into the gym for some weights and cardio fun. Until next time!

We're Hereeee, In Your Face. Aren't You Glad?

Hello poppet! Welcome to our world. This is Momma C comin' atchya from the very hungry state of NY with today's weight loss tidbit. You don't need a fancy gym to drop those inches and pounds, you just need 18 loads of laundry and the washer and dryer in the basement! Best workout you'll ever get. Try doing it nursing a torn meniscus tear, I'm sure that's extra calorie burning (I hope that's extra calorie burning). Happy Spring!

Ok, I think she's done with her introduction. My turn, this is Doc Dre coming at you live from our living room? Listening to Momma C berate me for trying to call myself Doctor Dre and insisting that his name must be copyrighted. We're a mother daughter team born and raised in NYC but currently living in the beautiful hudson valley. I'm a college student and an employee of a well-known bookstore and in my spare time I like to workout at the gym and read weight loss blogs including but not limited to A Prior Fat Girl, The Anti-Jared, Jack Sh*t Gettin' Fit, Mrs. Fatass, and the healthy lifestyle playout toter MizFit. We're both over 300 lbs, ok Momma C is complaining that she's coming down fast and kicking my ass. We have a beagle who's awfully chubby himself named Snoopy, he must think we're crazy.

This blog will chronicle our journey to lose 200 lbs and lead a healthy lifestyle collectively and hopefully make people smile with our crazy antics.
