Weight Loss Moves - So Much Has Happened!

Well, it's been a few months since I put up a post here, but it's because I've been on a fantastic weight loss ride! My life has taken me in so many directions and guess what...I've reached a healthy weight. I am currently down to around 142 and feel and look great. My final destination is 135 since 142 is still just shy of "overweight" for my height.

Other happenings:
I am now a AFAA Certified Fitness Instructor, a Certified Zumba® Instructor and I'm having the time of my life. I've been focusing on Zumba® Fitness lately and will be instructing a Free Zumba® Class this Friday at the Nu-yu Fitness Studio in Tamarac, Florida. If you're in the area and want to know more, you can find your way to my class via my website Latin Fitness Club.

I've also been learning so much about nutrition on this ride and will be writing up a few articles on that to help you in your journey to a healthy weight. "May the forces be with you." :-)

Skinny Minnie - Weight Loss Moves

How y'all doin with your weight loss efforts? I hope you're keeping it going and persisting, because that's what's going to get results. Trust Me! I know! I'm living proof. In fact, today was the first day that I really started seeing some definition where my collar bones are slowing coming into view. Now I'm not saying I want to be Skinny Minnie with all my bones showing, but I know what I looked like when I was a healthy weight and when things start coming into focus, WOW! It's just such a good feeling.

According to the Wii, I have about 11 more pounds to lose to get to my set goal and I'm really looking forward to it. I don't know if I'll stop there. I'm kind of thinking I'll try to go down 5 more pounds just to be able to move about a bit with the eating and lazy days.

Anyway, it feels good to weigh less. It feels healthy. I feel more positive about my appearance and less self conscious. It's just an all around good feeling and I'm not even where I want to be, LOL! I wonder what that's going to feel like again. Until next time....Happy weight loss!

Things Still Moving in the Right Direction - I Love My Wii Fit!

OK, so the Wii Fit doesn't work for everyone who wants to lose weight. Why? It really depends on how much you use it. If you use it the way you use all of the other things you bought to help you lose weight,then maybe it won't do the job. I mean, if you use it intensely for about a week or maybe even two and then quit and let it collect dust, then forget it! It won't do the trick. It's like the trainer said once when I was trying to figure out a Yoga move and then just got off the Step. She said something like..."Hey, this is not going to work without you."

Perfect! I got right back on and tried again. LOL! So, I'm now down three more pounds! Last weigh in...157. WooHOOOOOOoooooo!!!! I have officially lost 31 lbs and I'm not stopping here. Nope! My ideal weight is 140, but I'll settle for 145. So, that's 12 more pounds...WOW! It doesn't seem so impossible now.
