Zumba Queen

I am a Zumba/Just Dance Queen!!!

Okay, so I wouldn't say Queen...maybe princess or attendant or ...court jester.

I have been doing Zumba and Just Dance 2 for the past couple days.  Today according to my HRM I burned 570 calories. I love doing it and honestly I don't feel like I am working out.  I mean yeah, I am sweaty and my face is beet red but I don't have that feeling like "I cannot wait for this to be over and I do not want to do this anymore". Honestly. when I am doing it I think I am my high school self again.  I am 150lbs, muscular, my body hasn't been through the ringer with two kids yet.  I don't have *GASP* stretch marks.  I am free and sexy and confident.

Then I looked in the mirror today while I was dancing today.

That might have been a mistake because my fantasy of being a Britney Spears body look alike went straight through the window.  I seen reality.  Christmas pajama pants, a maternity shirt that is a way too big and my hair in a big claw clip.  I seen my 2 year old dancing beside me (which made me laugh).  Parts were jiggling that 7 years ago wouldn't even think of jiggling. It's amazing what the mind lets you believe when you feel good about yourself.

Oh well did I mention I burned 570 calories?

Here are my pictures for the day. I am technically cheating because the pic of Liv is from last night but I had already posted when I took them so I saved them for today.

I try to get them doing whatever they are doing when I pick up the camera.  This is what he does most of the time and no he is not always in his swing, it just helps him fall asleep.

Yep she got her first bubble bath yesterday.  Why does she look ecstatic? Because the kid doesnt get baths.  No everyone, my kid is bathed everyday, for the most part.  It's just easier to put her in the shower with me. After yesterday and the amazing time she had in the bubble bath, I think this is what we will do from now on.
