Zumba: still fun

It took an act of will--not to mention a bit of rebellion--to drag myself away from work fifteen minutes early this evening so that I could make a 6:00 Zumba class. It was my first class in more than a month, since before I left on my big trip. I felt sure that if I put it off much longer, I'd never go back.

I'm not completely out of shape, I'm happy to report, though the class did feel a little taxing. But it was wonderful. My mood, energy and general sense of wellbeing have all improved significantly, because dancing is fun, and the music is great. I got good and sweaty, I burned off hundreds of calories, and I oxygenated myself. And! we started out by learning a routine set to Barry Manilow's "Copacabana," which was a hoot.

Then there's the lovely gloaty feeling of having done it. I like that part, too.
