Well...today as been a total " I learned my lesson" day. I have a head cold. But after I showered I felt a lot better and figured I would try the Zumba class that started at Olivia's dance school. It started last week and I didnt go but I heard it was a lot of fun. Its a great opportunity for me to get out so I went. I know I am not supposed to exercise in the first 2-3 weeks according to Medifast if I havent been working out reguarly but thought it would be okay because I had been using the treadmill regularly until a few months ago. I have never been to a class and didnt know what to expect and figured "what do I have to lose? It cant be that hard". Yeah.............. the class was totally fun and a great workout. Until the last ten minutes of class. Now...those of you who know me will totally agree that I am a drama magnet. If there is drama it will fine me. I hate it but I have come to realize that is just how it is. So....all was well and up until that point my only concern was that maybe I am not as coordinated as I thought I was! And there was a whole lotta body parts doing seemingly naughty moves(which is apparently what Zumba is!). And yet I loved it! My friend made a comment about pole dancing...you get the point by now I am sure....So it was time for the cool down and all of a sudden I didnt feel well at all. I wasnt panting out of breath or anything like that but I started to feel like I was going to throw up. I took mental note of where I was and where the bathrooms were. I looked at the clock and told myself it was almost over and to hang in there. Then it got worse...I started getting really lightheaded to the point where I had to keep stopping doing the cool down. I was seeing the lightheaded fuzzies. I was trying to be as inconspicious as possible but must have looked like a really lazy cool downer...
And then came my "fat girl down" thought. And for those of you who are following this blog you know that I am talking about Tricias post a few days ago). I was so scared I was going to pass out and come to with all these paramedics around me with everyone staring at me. I would be telling them that I was on Medifast and shouldnt have exercised today. I was thinking about how i would be so embarassed to bring Olivia back there for her dance classes and there would be all these stares and wispers(like catty women do). And then class ended. I told my friend I wasnt feeling good and she said it was probably from the head cold. Very well could be since all of a sudden I could breathe from my nose. But I then realized I hadnt had my lean and green meal yet and had probably eaten only 400 calories for the day at that point. And I am sure that is what it was. Or a combination of the two. The teacher was asking if anyone wanted more cool down time and I was out the door before I could even answer! So I grabbed my coat and went to my car and called Steven and told him to talk to me for a few minutes while I sat in the car with the windows rolled down. I mean...I am a big girl, but I have worked out way harder than that before and never felt like this!!! So...another lesson learned....
On a positive note...today was pretty good. I was not that hungry and felt great other than this! I am rather surprised by that actually. I am sure I will have "hungry days" again but so far it has been pretty manageable.

That was too funny! What kind of class is this! LOL! Make sure you get those meals in so I don't get any frantic calls. Drama Magnet? You? Yeah, right. I have known you for years and have never known that to be a problem with you:-)P Good coordination comes from playing Nintendo as a child I was once told by someone:-)P
Ron-that "someone" must have been a very intelligent person to make that connection. hehe
