PB & Shopping ~ Fri 30 March

Zumba today with the lovely Kylie at Blackwood fitness and I did a PB with her for that class of 789 calories.  Woo Hoo feeling good about that.

Was a little worried that there might be no music for zumba as i heard the local area had a blackout but it was all good.  I heard recently that they had to do a sculpt session once with no music so they jazzed it up and everyone loved it.  Amazing what you can do when you set your mind to it!  Great instructors to think on your feet like that!

Today I decided to just take the day for myself as life has been so busy and take a walk around our local shopping centre and check out some new clothes get a feel for what is out there and what I can look forward to.

I went to a 'Big City Chic' which is now renamed as City Chic and tried on a dress that was marked down for over 70% off I was so excited as I need a new dress every year for my work dinner.  I tried it on and OMG it was too big.  I kept justifying to myself saying it's alright to have some room to move but my boobs were showing and it would take some refitting as lets face it I really do want to show off my figure after all my hard work.  I still took a picture as I still loved the dress and I guess as a reminder of how far I have come.

Then I wandered into woolies just to get a few things and thought that I would check out a few labels I have heard the girls talk about online.  I picked up this cheesecake as I thought that looks like a nice little snack to see that this piece alone is approx 312 calories.  That's a WHOLE meal for me!!! OMG so not worth it I couldn't even think about how long it would take to burn off - now that I think about it, it would be haf a zumba class and it's not like I would walk out half way through, would have to be a very special dessert night for that one! (notice how you also get a free spoon with it LOL).

I couldn't help taking this picture as I've never seen a bottle of coke before with my name on it.  Now 12 weeks ago that would have been a big YES buy it for me but now I take a photo and now I have it as a memory and not the memory of guilt of calories!

Although I am being very good it's also hard when there is sooo much temptation out there!!! I went into Target to check out some workout clothes and look nearly everything chocolate is on special!! Aggrrrr!!!!! Must resist temptation!!!! (and I did...)

Oh and just finally - as I'm leaving I see this stand of water and notice it's good old shannon on the packet and I jokingly say to myself 'packaged sweat from shannon himself' LOL.  Sorry couldn't resist taking this pic! Hmm I can't get it to turn the right way so just tip your head.  Do you think this counts as 'diet water'???? LOL

Evening Zumba i decide to check out a new place that's down south as I can make that time wise after playing taxi to all the other commitments.  Its a great class, dark with disco lights and I smash through 810 calories so super happy with that.  I will attempt to go back one night but being a friday night it can be a bit difficult very energetic though and cardio packed.  I got complimented on my technique too which was nice to know someone was paying attention.

Zumba classed - 20 for day 13 - ohhhh how exciting!!!
