So, as I mentioned before, I recently made the journey into collegiate life. Everyone in the English speaking culture ought to know about the dreaded freshman 15. For those of you who are living under a rock, it is basically just saying that freshman year of college, you are likely to gain 15 pounds. The idea behind it is that you are leaving your wonderfully healthy home cooked meals (um, ok, not exactly, at least for me in my case, but just go with it) and are eating high carb, high fat, high sugar diet of junk food and soda. Obviously, I would like to avoid this. (shocker, I know) Luckily, my school offers fitness classes through the local YMCA. But all (or most) of that is kind of beside the point. The real point of this post is to profess my undying love for Zumba (which is one of the classes offered by the YMCA). I had always heard of Zumba as a fitness thing and wanted to try it, but never really got around to it. This, admittedly, was a mistake. It is so much fun! You are moving and shaking your bum for an hour and you never even realize that you are working out. The music is all really upbeat and fun to dance too. You leave dripping in sweat, feeling amazing and energized. As far how well its keeping the freshman 15 at bay, we'll have to see about that one. I haven't been home in a while to check, but I'll do an update to let you guys know how the weight situation is doing. So the moral of the story is go and find some place that offers Zumba. If you can't find that, look on Youtube or something. I'm sure you could find something out there.
Well that's all for now. I will do my best to keep posting things as regularly as I can, but I can't make any promises, as college level academia is slightly more demanding and rigorous that high school was. But my goal is still to look hot in a bikini by the end of the year! I feel like this goal is fairly realistic and doable, just as long as I stay on track and keep my goal in mind. :)
