Zumba Challenge Results

Hey everybody… I know that it’s been much longer than 10 days and I haven’t made an entry since day 8 of my challenge, but when life happens you learn to prioritize and role with the punches. With that being said, let me first say thank you to everyone for your comments and words of encouragement. You may never really understand how much you helped me; particularly during those days when I just really didn’t want to work out. Sometimes I didn’t even want to eat right. The hardest part of this challenge for me though has been eating 5 small meals a day and logging it. Logging is dreadful, but useful. I think I’m going to try to make a habit of it.

Facts:
The Zumba 10 Day Challenge, really does work; IF you work it. You have to follow the rules and do the work outs. I did not lose the 6 lbs that I was hoping to lose though. In fact, I actually lost, gained and loss again. BUT… I toned and gained muscle. The biggest plus for me was the noticeable difference in the appearance of my stomach. My love handles; effectually known as (Pookie &  Ray Ray) have gone down and the pouch is not so poochie if you know what I mean. (Ladies you know what I’m talking about) If I thought it appropriate I would’ve shown you a picture of my bare tummy before and after, but I don’t, so you’ll have to settle for this side by side of days 5 and 10. See it for yourself… All in all, I am pleased with my results and intend to continue on with Zumba. Once I reach my next mini goal I’m going insane with Shawn T’s Insanity. But for now, I’m going to continue with Zumba add nightly yoga and get serious about my arm workout. So, if anyone has any suggestions on how to tone my wings (arms) please let me know quick, before I fly away. Next challenge, ARMS…. I think I’m going to put the “SHAKE WEIGHT” on display… What do you guys think about that?

              
 Look at the difference in my face, midsection and inner thighs… I can see it, can you?

    I know this happened a while ago, but I'd just like to say that you look amazing! I'm going to push myself to do an hour of Zumba per day for a week and see where that gets me. Thank you for posting your results! (What you did was amazing! Great job!)
