I'm new, don't laugh

I have always wanted to start a blog, but never knew where to start. So I guess that I'm going to just jump right in and give it a shot. Kind of like Zumba. You will never know what something is like until you try it.

I decided to try Zumba 2 days ago for the first time. I am determined to lose weight and I love music, so I figured I would give it a shot. Long story short, I had a BLAST! There were people of all ages and sizes, and a cute little old lady in her 70's told me, "If I can do it, anyone can do it." Very inspiring words sweet little lady. I'm sure I looked nothing short of a seahorse giving birth. You know what I'm talking about, the convulsing, and ridiculous thrusting.
seahorse birth.. incase you need a visual...Uhh maybe that and a monkey combined. Im not sure, all I know is that it was not pretty, but it was addicting. It is now the one place besides my kitchen, that I can dance without a care. It's kind of like the bar, minus the alcohol and creepos. ( I had very scary confidence that I am now ashamed I ever had when alcohol was involved.) I also wake up remembering everything that happened, which is always a plus. Day 1 of Zumba was a success. My main goal was to burn calories and I left in a sw
eaty mess. And I felt uh-maze-ing!

I had so much fun that I wanted to go again the next day, and I brought along my BFF. This was going to be the best day EVER! I forgot to add that the previous day of Zumba involved nearly 30 people. This day we were trying out a new place, and it was going to be GREAT... right? This place was HUGE. I read afterwards online that it holds 200+ ladies for Zumba class.. lots of skinny bitches. LOTS. I suddenly was missing my old lady friend that I had met the night before. Some chubbier than me girls joined right behind us, so I started feeling a little more confident. Okay, this isn't so bad. Then it happened. Right before class started, some skinny girls from highschool got right behind us. REALLY? Out of at least 150 people, they just HAD to be right behind us. My BFF and I could hear their laughter throughout the class. Of course we are self conscious and we just KNEW they were laughing at us. The instructor told everyone to "shake it like a flaming gay guy, with lots of hip movement." I kind of love her. She was hilarious. All in all, it was great, and I didnt suck any less than I did the previous class, but I will not let that stop me. Next time I want to be around sweet old ladies. And I swear if skinny girls from highschool decide to get behind us in Zumba, they will regret it when I decide to have chili for dinner...
