Yesterday I had an unexpected day off from work. We could either take yesterday or Monday off. Since I had a lot of errands to do before the weekend came, I opted for taking yesterday off.

Noting that I had a few free hours, I thought I’d take a class at the gym that I had been interested in but never really fit into my schedule before, Body Works plus Abs. Similar to a Body Pump class, it was an hour of strengthening arms, legs, and abs with weights. It was intense! I could definitely tell where my weak spots were after taking that class so I know what I need to work on.

Before I left the gym I looked at the class schedule and saw that they added a Zumba class to Friday afternoons, so I thought, why not? So I left to get some errands done. I washed my car, which hasn’t been washed since September, did some grocery shopping, and cleaned the house. My muscles were starting to ache a little bit but I wasn’t surprised, I worked hard that morning!

One of the reasons why I haven’t tried Zumba before is that it’s so popular at our gym, you need to be there at least 30 minutes before the start of class to make sure you get a spot! I just haven’t been able to get there in time before the class fills up. But, with an empty afternoon I had plenty of time.

I can now see why it’s popular, it’s so much fun! We did about 15 songs in an hour and I definitely got a great workout. The best thing was I didn’t even realize how fast the class went by! Whenever I do my cardio on a machine, I always glance down at the clock to see how much time I had left. While doing Zumba, I looked at the clock once to see that we only had five minutes left! Needless to say, I think I’ll be trying to find time now to fit this class into my schedule.

With all the exercise I had today I knew an amazing dinner was well deserved, and I was only craving one thing. Sushi!

That’s all I’ve been wanting for the past three days! So I was so happy to enjoy a nice night out with Todd and enjoy some delicious sushi. I had a seaweed salad, cucumber roll, avocado roll, and veggie roll. Overall, it was a very nice day off.

Now, time to get to bed so I can get up bright and early to complete my eight mile training run!
