Day 9: A family affair

Today is day nine of a 21 day challenge that I am taking part of with GPF. I have decided that as part of this challenge I am going to blog about my goals and how my day turned out.

Day 9: Don't hit my snooze. 6am. My phone goes off and automatically I reach to hit the snooze but before I do, I remember NO that was todays goal. NO SNOOZE. Up and at them to get out to my friends house for 7am. After a little visiting it was time to work, {yes, before my workday even really began}.

By 9:15 it was out the door to head to my first meeting of the day. I began working on some stuff that needed to get done. Waiting and waiting for the person I was meeting with to show. Text messages and emails sent and nothing. I couldn't wait around- I had to get to my next meeting- which he was supposed to be at. Together we were supposed to be pitching a proposal. I was going to have to go in solo {and because of past history I was anxious about this meeting}. The meeting went AWESOME and even ended with a part timeish job offer... which I don't think I'm going to take, I mean I already have enough on my plate, right?

After a phone meeting {we have decided that my work phone isn't really working... thankfully we are supposed to be getting new ones soon} and a few emails it was off to Zumba kids at a local elementary school. My class there continues to grow every week and the kids are having fun and doing a great job. I walk them to their busses and then its a race to get across the river to GPF for my terrific Tuesday night class! Tonight, I had 2 sets of sisters in my class. We are always saying that GPF is a family, and its so nice to bring members of our own families to class together.... a family that works out together stays together? So story time....
I started taking zumba close to over 4 and a half years ago. When I was "hooked" and was going multiple times a week, my mom wanted to come with me, and, confession, I wouldn't let her come with me. {GASP} Zumba was my thing. I had finally found something that I liked and I enjoyed and I wasn't ready to share. So she started going to other classes. Eventually I let her come to class with me but she wasn't allowed to stand next to me. Now, if she isn't at class it seems strange. I even look forward to when my dads work schedule lets him come back. So if you are working out and working hard. Make sure you share the love. The best complement you can give an instructor is to let others know how much you enjoyed class and invite them to come with you. The more the merrier.

Following a great 30/30 class we awaited the arrival of some of our 30 day burpee challenge friends before we conquered 45 burpees. HOLY MOLY. I remember when we thought 25 was rough. We hit 25 and it seems so easy, ok maybe not SO easy but a little easier... how are we ever going to make it to 100?!?!?!?! Then it was time for a little more toning and kickboxing.

As I made my way out of the gym and climbed into my car I couldn't help but think about how lucky I am. How much I ENJOY and LOVE being at the gym. How its my home away from home and how blessed I am to have those people as part of my FAMILY.
