Random Ramblings May 1

     This week, I went to the gym (Roy Complex) every day - Monday through Saturday.  I am so proud of myself.  I lost another 2.2 pounds this week for a total of 20.8 lbs.  I love Weight Watchers - healthy eating and exercise.  I feel great!  I am going to walk in a 5k on May 21 for the Weight Watchers Walk-It Challenge.
     Saturday was a Riverdale Clean Up Day where you can dump things for free.  We got rid of a broken big screen TV (monster - not a flat screen) that has been in our storage unit for over 9 years.  I shouted with glee when it landed in the dumpster!
     I wanted to try something new this week and went to a beginner Zumba class.  No one showed up - not even the instructor.  I was disappointed, so I went inside the gym to use the elliptical.  Then I was on my way out when I saw an old friend who said she was going to the next Zumba class.  I told her I wanted to go to the earlier class which was supposed to be a beginner class.  She said come on in.  Since the first class was free, I decided to try it out.  Talk about feeling like a KLUTZ!  They would go one way and I'd almost catch on...when they turned and were going another way.  My arms would go up, when they'd switch and do something different.  I didn't want to see like a quitter, so I stuck it out.  It was the LONGEST hour!  I almost ran out of there as soon as it was over.  So, what did I do?  Yes - I got on the internet and looked around for a beginner dvd for Zumba.  I ended up with one I liked on eBay and bid on one.  The next morning when the bid was over, I looked and I had won the bid.  So now I am waiting for it to arrive sometime later this week.  I want to learn the basic moves, then go back to the class because it looked like such fun and is such a great workout.
     I have been "randomly selected" (again) for Jury Duty the first week of May.  I had to call in on Friday to find out if I had to go in.  I was elated when the recording said "All juries for the week of May 2-6 have been settled.  No need to call in again."  Right on!!  Yahoo!
