I joined the gym two weeks ago.  So far…so good.  It's title has the word "Family" in it (i.e. Texas Family Fitness), and I tell you, it feels a lot more family-friendly than the other gyms I've been to.  As in, real mom's and real grandma's and real dad's working out there.  And since I'm a real mom, I feel comfortable there.

And my favorite class is Pi-Yo which is a Pilates-Yoga combo every Wed morning.  But today – TODAY – today I left my comfort zone (as if becoming a member of a fitness facility was not stretching it enough for me).  TODAY I went to Zumba!  Yes, the Latin dance-crazed workout.  This very caucasian mother of 3 was trying to tap into her Latin roots (uhhh…strike that, I have no Latin roots, but I like Tex-Mex).  Anyway – it was fun.  And it was a great workout.  And I looked like a fool with my long, tree-branch-like arms.  And I've discovered that I can't shake my hips AND move my legs at the same time.  And I definitely CANNOT shimmy (or roll my "R's" – but that's for another post).

So – lookout J.Lo is all I'm gonna say about that.
