Feedback:
I didn't journal a lot today, obviously. We did a bunch of errands and actually I know I didn't eat that much before dinner. I slept in late, then we went to lunch and then got my fiancee a haircut and then I had to go to my son's swim meet.

I did zumba at a different location (actually, where his swim meet was), so I was proud that I had planned that ahead of time and that I brought my sneakers etc with me. It would be easy to say that he has a swim meet and I can't go to my regular class, so I can't exercise today. It was zumba circuit and it was pretty different. There were some creepy people there that made things a little awkward.

The pace overall of the class was pretty slow. The teacher kept scrolling through her iPod to find the songs, which I didn't think was a good idea. Once you get your heart rate up, I thought you were supposed to maintain it. A few times she asked what we wanted to do (this song, or that song?) which I have never seen either.

Originally, when she said we were using weights and resistance bands, I was a little nervous. However, in the end I think I kept up more than some of the regulars, but that was mostly because the choreographies were quite repetitive and used the same moves over and over. I think the instructor was underestimating how quickly people would catch on, and she seemed to want to "go easy on us". I don't want that at zumba, I want to work! Oh well!
