On top of these workouts, I joined a group exercise program. So far I've tried Zumba (love it, but I am extremely uncoordinated and lanky), Spinning (one of my old favorites), BodyPump (not the best, but I'll give it another try), Yoga (I cannot believe how un-flexible I am!!). This week I've probably overworked myself because I'm trying to finish out the Women's Health workout and still get my money's worth out of my new membership. But its a good thing I have all of this to keep me busy because EZ moved to Hobbs on Tuesday with Kahlua, and I'm stuck here finishing out the summer. I also need to update that I finally got a summer job! I'm working as a pre-school instructor and I love it so far! Could it be my new career path??
