Are You Kidding Me?


Well...I did it.  Plunked down $225 and registered to become a Zumba certified instructor.  I didn't sign up for the one in San Diego.  Instead, I am going to Medford, Oregon on August 4.   I'm still gulping in air every time I think about it about it but I am getting really excited.  On Mondays, our Zumba instructor Amy can't be there and so Curves is letting me "practice" leading on those days.  Very exciting!  I have been very overwhelmed with the support people have given me.   When I tell people what I am going to be doing...9 out of 10 tell me that they would definitely come to my class.  I know they are just being nice but it still makes me happy to hear it.

Let's talk about the guy who is going to be my instructor in Medford.

This is Abraham Hernandez.  Wow!  Are you kidding me?  I have a little just a little under 8 weeks to lose 1000 pounds, become an incredible dancer and turn into a Latin beauty before I shake my bon bon in front of Abraham.  I watched a video of him on YouTube and he's a pretty amazing dancer.  So instead of being intimidated by "California Girls" in San Diego...This middle-aged, overweight, uncoordinated girl is going to try and 'drop it like it's hot" in front of Mr. Hernandez.  Sigh.  What have I got myself into?
