Yep.  That's how I felt tonight.  Just when I think I am getting the hang of Zumba and getting those sexy moves down, I try the Zumba toning class.  Holy balls! I am still sweating my tits off typing this blog post.

So, and hour and a half ago...I gear up, bring my 5lbs weights with me (remember this) and head to class.  A lot of familiar faces go to the Tuesday night class, so I was glad to see my homies.  But...what I also see are gals wearing their belly dancing hip scarf!  FINALLY!  I have had one just sitting in my bag, waiting for folks to wear this.  I was too cool to whip it out and wear it on a Thursday night and be the only one, but HEY!  I get to jingle, jingle in my hip scarf!!!

So I tie my hip scarf and damn!  I made it in a knot!  How in the hell am I going to get this off?  Oh well, I can worry about that when class is over.  Lenae jumps up on stage and away we go.  So far, so good.  She did a lot of the routines that we do on Thursday night.  But then, came the weight routines.  So, I go over to my weights, and Lenae on the microphone, says "Melissa, those are too heavy!"  "Go grab the 2 lb weights in the closet!"  Great...I am getting called out.  Doesn't she know that I've been pumping iron and this will be no problem?  Well, she won't start the routine until I go over and get the darn 2 lb weights.  Ok, ok.  Well, I am sure as hell glad I did.  We started out slow and I'm thinking to my self this is easy.  No problem.  Well, was I wrong!  By the second routine, my arms were burning PLUS you have to move to the beat, keep rhythm AND lift the weights.  I looked like a drunk crazy trying to keep beat.  I went from feeling like J-Lo to dancing like Elaine on Seinfield.  I must have looked pathetic!! I even made a Marc Anthony song look bad- (and thats' bad!) :)  But, I still got a good workout in.   Also, note to self #1:  don't eat stir fry before class.  I had to fart so bad, but I was afraid that I was working out so hard that I might do more than fart.  Great.  So, I am trying to keep beat and keep a dingleberry squeezed between my cheeks.  Note to self #2: Wear shorts that fit.  I forgot that I was in my "work from home" shorts and didn't change into my Zumba shorts.  These are a little loose fitting with the weight I have lost- and literally, I almost lost my shorts.  Thank goodness for my hip scarf!  It was the only thing keeping me from mooning the rest of the gals behind me.  So, between, shitting my pants and losing my pants, that hour class was the longest class ever!!!  But I made it!!  All the regulars congratulated me on making it through the class and they want to see me back next Tuesday.  We will see.  

I walk over to my bag and I am trying to take my jingle hip scarf off. DAMMIT!  It's in a knot and that bitch is tighter than it was when I started class.  Oh well.  I ran out of the gym, of course not in stealth mode, b/c the damn scarf was jingling, hopped in my car with the hip scarf still on and got the hell home.  Lord.  I'm a mess.
