Oh MY!! There are two different kinds of sorenesses.. The oooh it feels so good kinds and the OMG this hurts so bad!!
Well, right now I'm at the OMG this hurts so bad sore!! I used my Zumba once... ( I know, I need to be on it more) and I was in the oooh it feels so good kinda sore. I liked it, accept the part where I kind of twisted my ankle. So, yep, I'll be wearing shoes while Zumbaing...
This hurt sore came from digging the other day.. A couple hours of hard labor and my body isn't cut out for it. No sireee.. not at all. After that hard labor, my legs were wobbly and and my arms were about dangling to the side. This morning, I got up no problem accept I was pretty sore, but not this bad kind of sore.
My daughter was complaining of a sore throat and she had a slight fever, so I took her to the doctor. She stayed home for congestion and guess what? Yep, I stayed on my butt and that's what killed me. I was thinking Zumba, then I said nope, I'll just watch a couple of shows. I did and then I got up and I was in the OMG pain..
I decided to draw a hot bath and relax in it hoping it'll loosen my muscles. It felt so good in the bath, and then I got out.. Oh my! Right back to my bad ole pain.
So, then I decided to lay down and see what it does. Laying down felt sooo good, but when it was time to get up... I didn't want to it hurt so bad.
I'm such a wussy on this kind of pain. My boyfriend said that if I got up and just kept moving it'll feel better. I'm sure it would, but not now..
Anyways, this is what I wanted to write about today. Maybe, just maybe I might find a remedy for this kind of soreness, and when I do, I'll let you know.
If you have any remedies for my soreness or anybody else in this same situation, please leave a reply!
Have a great night everybody!

ZUMBA!!!!
WOW!! What a workout! I received my Zumba XBOX 360 game two days ago and today was the day I decided to try it out. I'm glad I did. My body is still buzzing from the adrenaline. And,oh yes, already sore in places I didn't know existed.
As I'm trying the workout, I'm thinking, it's a good thing I'm not in one of those classes. People would be laughing at me and I would probably be bumping into other people.. The crazy steps, slides, hip rolling, shoulder shaking and more!
I loved it! But I'll have to take it slowly at first. I did about 25 minute workout and burned about 70 calories. I guess that's ok. I think so, better than just sitting on the couch just thinking about it. I will make a point to do this again tomorrow.. At least once a day. When I get better at it I will probably do bigger classes. I will keep you updated on my progress probably weekly.
So, for those of you who has the excuse, I don't have time.. Well,, you do, and It'll be at your own home. Get a Zumba game for your preferred player. You will definitely enjoy it..
Now to work on my eating habit..

Food Habits
Food.. MMMMMmmmm... I absolutely love food. That's a bad thing for me because I don't look at calories, sugar, fat, sodium and whatever else I should look at. I know I need to change that, but to this day I turn a blind eye on it.
What I can do is find out what foods are good for me and how I can stay in control. First of all is my habit of buying food. Good for you food isn't cheap. Frozen foods is within my budget. Hmmm.. I'm sure there are Frozen foods that I can get that both the kids and I will like and will be good for us. For instance, frozen vegetables and.... I'm sure there is more out there. I just need to find it.
I am still at the beginning of changing my health habits so I am still learning. Yesterday I did well in keeping my portions small. It was hard because I sure was very hungry at the end of the day. Today, I only munched on crackers and drank water and had a free orange soda at work. Shame on me,, but for dinner, chicken nuggets and possibly some velveeta shells. I know, not good for me, But when I go to the grocery store next, hopefully that will change.
I am drinking water, but I do need to increase my intake. Right now I'm drinking a nice hot cup of greentea sweetened with honey. Sounds like that is good for you, doesn't it? Well, I think so.
As I keep blogging, hopefully my habits will make a drastic change. For now, I have dropped my food portions, drinking more water, and thinking on better food choices. I just need to take baby steps on this and use LOTS of my willpower.
Hopefully everybody had a great day and will Blog to you tomorrow!

Looking Forward to Better Health
After having my Physical, I just realized that my Health habits has to change as of yesterday. Very hard for me, since I love food and I truly hate exercising. My average weight was 140 and now it's a blooming 180.
I'm not that kind of person to be ashamed of letting people know my weight, because it's fact. I know there are other people who weigh more and people who weigh less than me. And on that note, some of those people are very happy where they are and some that isn't and wants to do something about it. I'm in the category of wanting to do something about it.
I made a step in ordering an XBOX game called ZUMBA. I was quite proud of myself because I am a total FINAL FANTASY fan and there was a game Lightening Returns that was 40% off. I could've saved bundles. But, that was a want that I don't need. But Zumba was 20% off and I saved a bit, plus I need the physical exercise. Plus, it's more cheaper than getting a membership somewhere else and I don't have to worry being with a crowd. Sometime this week I will get that Zumba disc and I will faithfully play it everyday.
Now I got the physical part planned, I need to figure out the food part. I know there are ways, so I need to look up those ways. I need to cut down on my quantity of intake and the type of intake. More vegetables and fruits, and less carbs. I'm not sure, but I think that is what I need.
This blog will be my journey on my health and I sure hope it will motivate those of you who wants to change their health around. And please, if there is any questions, comments, advise, anything,.. please comment.
Have a great day everybody
