Zumba

Over the past three years, I've gained almost 20 lbs. I'm pretty sure it's because of the lack of estrogen since none of my eating habits have changed. I finally reached the point where I could not gain another pound.  I turned to Zumba.  It is so much fun. I wear a heart rate monitor and I burn up to 700 calories in an hour.

It's been three weeks now and 13 classes.  I've lost 5 lbs plus I am able to eat and drink what I want.  Cokes being one of my favorite things. I've found that I have more energy overall and I look forward to working out. I think it's helping me with stress, but it hasn't helped me fall asleep at night, luckily I have xanex for that. My mind races at night and the silence is torture.
