Okay so I didn’t go to the gym after all last night. I am having issues with three plantars warts on the ball of my right foot and I was in a LOT of pain yesterday. When I put my shoes on to leave the office and head to the gym, my foot was quite swollen (which is odd), so I decided to make last night my rest night. Though I did get to break a bit of a sweat when I got home as I decided to rake and plant a few things.
I’m not sure if I will be making zumba tonight, we shall see, but I AM going to hit up the body flow class tomorrow to check out the new music tracks they are going to start using. It’ll be a nice start to the day for me and then I shall go home to get some things straightened up since I have a new futon coming. It’s technically *here*, I need to pick it up by Nov. 19, but I want to clean the living room so I can get the current couch out of there and get the futon in. Oh and a Halloween party to go to tomorrow night.

Body flow night
Went to zumba only last night. Wonderful monthly things happened the night before and I decided that there was no way in HELL I was going to attempt anything in the water with that going on. So I decided to do zumba only.
PROBABLY a good thing I did as I was zapped by the end. So I am going to have to rethink this back to back thing with aqua deep and zumba, at least for now. Once I start to get more into shape and my stamina increases I can do it. But this also means that I have to figure out a way to take both classes just not back to back. I’ll take a look at the schedule to see when aqua deep is offered at other times and attempt to go to those classes on M/W/F.
Tonight is circuit training then body flow, which I really did enjoy so I am looking forward to tonight’s class. The only thing with body flow and zumba both is how much pain I am in with my foot. I apparently have plantar’s warts on the ball of my right foot. I am doing to OTC treatment wart remover, but I may have to go to the doctor to get them removed. I had five in a semi-circle, but the two smaller ones went away and now just the three larger ones are still there. OMG do they ever hurt. I suffer through with them as much as possible, and while it hurts, I do get through classes with them. It just makes some moves harder. Now there’s a lot of stepping and jumping, depending on the teacher, in zumba so that pressure causes issues for me. In body flow- we don’t wear shoes. I think tonight I am going to try and keep my socks on in order to keep the little wart remove pads on the bottom of my foot that sorta help cushion them, but the pain is still pretty bad. I’m limping a bit today because of it, however, I am not going to let it stop me from continuing the classes. It’ll just be easier when I finally can get them looked at and removed if the OTC stuff doesn’t work.
On the upside- I slept phenomenally again last night even with only getting about 6.5 hours because I went to bed so late due to getting homework done. So this is a good sign. I added just one more pillow to prop me up a bit more and it’s helped ease the lingering cough that sometimes makes wearing my CPAP mask difficult, adding in the intense exercise regime and you have the makings of a very sleepy me. And with the body flow class, I find that, while I still have worries and stress and such, they do not seem to be seeping into my dreams the past couple nights. I hope that will continue and that it’s showing me that the yoga portion of the class is allowing me to release that from my mind and body. I am hoping that this release will re-awaken my creativity and allow me to write again as well as sew. Time will tell.

Moving, Moving, Moving
A few days after I joined the gym, I fell really ill. Some virus that caused me to have severe vertigo. It caused me to be gone from the gym for a week.
I did go back and took a water aerobics class called aqua deep, which is entirely in the deep end with a flotation belt on. Wow it was a good workout. Lower impact than zumba, but still a good workout that I’d like to continue taking. Only problem? It’s the same days as zumba, only an hour before. Tomorrow I am going to attempt to take aqua deep, cut out a little early to change and head to zumba to see if I can do both.
Tonight I did my circuit training then went to a class called body flow. It’s a class that combines Tai Chi, yoga and pilates. I am DEFINITELY going to stick to that since it works out that the days I am doing circuit training they also have body flow in the evenings. If I choose to do it on Saturday as well, then I will take it in the morning. Within the first half hour, I was dripping with sweat, but I felt amazing. And this way I am getting in the yoga/pilates I had wanted to do.
I am going to start doing pictures as well of my progress, so will take one tomorrow or this weekend as my starting picture. I need to figure out how often I am going to take these pictures.

Getting back on track has started...
So I joined the local fitness club last night and took my first Zumba class. ZOMG. It kicked my ass something fierce, but I felt amazingly exhausted afterwards.
I was going to try and go to yoga today... but I slept till 10:30, which is when I would've had to leave in order to make the 11 am class. Next week. It's probably better that I didn't go this week, I don't want to overdo it my first week and not go back.
As it is, I'll actually be doing Zumba 4 times a week at least this month. I have an appointment Sunday at 5pm with my fitness coach to get started, which is a kick start program offered with my sign up fee. Then Zumba is at 6pm. Then Zumba again Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
I considered going to the spinning class on Tuesday, but I think if I tried to do that after 2 days in a row of Zumba... well I'd be dead. So I think I am gonna go to pilates on Tuesday, maybe I'll try the spinning class on Thursday. There might be on on Saturdays too so maybe I'll try and go to that then go to the Saturday yoga class.
But just the Zumba alone... cause the normal schedule is 3 days a week... will get me in shape real quick. And it's fun. I feel awkward doing it because it's so different and more intense then bellydance, but I'll get it. I'm moving, that's what counts. And as I learn and get more in shape, I won't feel nearly so awkward. What is nice is that I'm not the only one. There are people taking the class of all shapes and sizes, races, gender, plus you can tell there are people who really don't have any rhthym but they don't care, they are moving.

Starting anew to be back on track
As of this Friday, that's what I'll be doing. I've done pretty poorly at... well everything. But on Friday I am signing up for a gym in the area that offers zumba classes and other dancing exercise classes. I'll also be able to take pilates and yoga, plus have access to a pool for water aerobics and general water related stuff. So this is good. This will help me, I think.
