Have you ever danced Zumba?  Today, I did!  Zumba is a form of Latin dancing that makes exercise fun.  Today I decided to attend the Zumba class at my gym.  It was a 45 minute workout that really kicked my a**!  I was so sweaty and thirsty after the workout. 

Zumba was so fun, I just wish I had a friend to go with.  I admit I was a bit nervous to start dancing in front of strangers, but I eventually got over it.  For those of you who know me know that I only dance when I’m tipsy or drunk, so it took a whole lot of courage for me to dance in front of 20 girls.  I’m finally conquering my fears, better late than never I suppose.  Zumba is definitely not easy!  As much as I love Latin dancing and believe that I should have been born Latin, I was totally thrown off by Zumba.  You need a lot of skill, spunk, and attitude to dance Zumba, so I still have a way to go.  I won’t give up though and plan on taking the same class again next week. 

I came home and gulped 3 glasses of water.  Half an hour later I made myself a Blueberry Smoothie for lunch, and it was just what my body needed after a good workout… a delicious and healthy smoothie loaded with antioxidants.  I couldn’t have felt better about myself.  🙂  And then back to work!

  1. Delicious recipe I just made it tonight ready for tomorrow I was previously making my smoothie with milk and I haven’t been enjoying it. I added two extra things to your recipe half a banana and half a cup of raspberries it works soo well. ?

    1. I’m so glad that worked. I wasn’t sure how people would react with just water, but sometimes you don’t want the extra calories. 🙂

  2. I felt so guilty drinking this until I remember that I didn't have to! It is a wonderful refreshing drink and it was very filling as well. The only thing I did different was use flax seed oil instead of the meal because that is what I had on hand. Great way to get the flax in to my son. Can't wait to try it with other berries.

  3. Yum Yum Yum!! Due to lack of ingredients though, I used double the cantoluope (no honeydew). Still great though!! Will make again!
