YMCA Results

I know some of you are thinking, dear gracious, if she waxes on any more about the Y, I might have to learn her true identity, hunt her down and beat her over the head with some sort of workout equipment. (You won't have to bring anything, I do have dumbbells at my house, LOL!)
I decided earlier this year that I was going to do more classes, instead of working out on the cardio machines all of the time. This turned out to be a good idea because the teacher pushes me more than I would ever push myself.
I have been doing 2 Zumba classes a week, which is really fun, especially when it's Friday mornings and not the Wednesday classes with the boys. I also do a couple of step classes, which also really work my legs. I would NEVER do some of the stuff that they make us do in step class, squats, lunges, intervals, ugh! But I like doing it when someone else makes me do it.
And now, I have confirmed results. I bought a pair of jeans, online, at Eddie Bauer, in my usual size, but not the usual cut, right before we went to Portland in February. When I got them, I couldn't wear them comfortably without some sort of shapewear underneath. Which still wouldn't be considered comfortable. I was so bummed because they were expensive (for me). Last night, I grabbed some jeans to put on so the family could make a Target run. It turned out that I grabbed those jeans and slid them right on, with some room to spare. I haven't really changed my eating habits, especially for the better, so I can only credit the Y classes. Let's just hope I can continue wearing those jeans through the holiday season!
