Zumba fun!

Okay, Zumba last night was awesome. The instructor put together a collection of her favorite songs from classes throughout the semester, and it was really high energy and really fun! I was laughing and smiling the whole time, and I was SO tired and sweaty by the end. I hope there are Zumba classes offered over the summer!

Jogging

My usual workout when I go to the gym on a non-Zumba day involves jogging two miles on the track with a walked lap in between. Yesterday I went to the gym and my running was going really well, so I decided to see if I could run 3 miles without any breaks, and I did it! I don't know if I will run 3 miles every time from now on, but it feels good to know I can do it.

2 Months

OKAY. Tomorrow marks the 2 month point until the wedding. Time to get really intense about working out and eating right! I still need to lose about 3-4 lbs. to hit my goal weight. There are about 3 weeks left in the semester, and about a month left of work. I'm hoping that I can go to the gym more often once classes are over, but I think I'm going to have to buy a summer gym pass to keep being able to go to the one on campus after classes end.

My weight has still been fluctuating a lot:
4/06/10: +2.3
4/08/10: +2.1
4/15/10: +3.7
4/22/10: +3.3

This week's goals are to minimize unnecessary snacking and drink more water. I bought some La Croix, which will make me more motivated to hydrate myself. I want to try to replace pop in my diet with unsweetened iced tea, but I think that will need to be a goal for another week. ;)

Update

Okay. 84 days until the wedding. Oh man. My wedding prep fitness has been generally good, but I'm not seeing huge results. Oh, and I've totally failed on working out my arms. But, we've had frozen pizza every Thursday and I've only eaten 3 slices of pizza instead of 4 every time. And I've been going to Zumba every Thursday, and I try to go to the gym once a week in addition to Zumba, but it doesn't happen every week. My weight seems to fluctuate SO much:

2/23: +3.8
2/25: +4.1
3/02: +3.7
3/03: +2.1
3/04: +3.0
3/09: +3.7
3/10: +4.2
3/11: +4.9
3/18: +3.1
3/25: +3.8
4/01: +2.5

Despite my fluctuating weight, I feel really good and healthy now that I've been going to the gym at least once a week. I can even see that my legs and tummy are a bit less squishy looking than they were in January, which makes me happy. I have a lot of work for school to do in the next few months as the end of the semester nears, so I'm hoping that I can keep up with my workouts during that time.
