Zumba at Titletown
I got to go to a Zumba class for the first time in way too long yesterday. My friend Rochelle (from Zumba) let me know that the Titletown District had started their Summer Programming and a Tuesday Zumba class was on the schedule. I had been looking for it on their website, but I apparently missed it.
Ring Fit
A friend of mine from Zumba got the Nintendo Switch Zumba: Burn it Up game from her wife for Christmas. I miss Zumba, so I looked into getting it myself. While searching for it, I came across the Ring Fit Adventure game.
Light at the End of the Tunnel
COVID Vaccines
It sounds like there is a light at the end of the tunnel when it comes to COVID. There are multiple vaccines that seem promising, which is excellent news!
My brother-in-law, who works in a hospital, will be getting the vaccine next week. People like my husband and I will likely have to wait until spring to get vaccinated. That’s fine, there are obviously people out there that are in more need of it than we are.
Walks
Mental Health
It has been unusually warm (over 70!) for the past week! That is unheard of for November in Wisconsin. I have taken advantage of the gorgeous days by taking walks each day.
The weather has been good for my mental health, especially this past week with all of the Election drama. All of the walks I have taken help me clear my head a bit.
On Wednesday, the day after the election, I took Charlie over to Voyageur Park and we walked around all of the pathways. It was so pretty, despite most of the leaves being gone.
Halloween 2020
Last weekend was Halloween!
This was the first year in some time that I didn’t dress up for Halloween because I didn’t go to Halloween Zumba. I’ve had memories from past Halloween Zumba pop up on my Facebook timeline. They made me kinda sad.
End of an Era
I mentioned in my previous post that one of the Zumba instructors, “S”, in my community of Zumba friends announced that she is retiring from Zumba next week. She was the only reason that I was going to possibly hold on to my Y membership since her class was the only class I went to anymore.
In my last post, Election Day & Covid Thoughts, I wrote about how I had pretty much decided that I was going to switch to a new gym. The ONE thing that was keeping me at the Y was that my Zumba friends all went there.
Election Day & COVID Thoughts
I am glad I started virtual therapy a few weeks ago with TalkSpace. I knew my anxiety would be leveling up as Election Day got closer.
I want all of this to be over. The election, COVID-19 (which unfortunately won’t go away after the election), racial inequality. All of it.
Even when the election is over, I expect there will some civil unrest, no matter who wins.
When COVID gets under control, I don’t think anyone’s life will return back to whatever “normal” was for them pre-COVID. I know mine won’t.
“Pussy Pants”
In February, we had taken a vacation to Cancun with a big group of some friends from Zumba. This gave Jeff a chance to get to know everyone. And, for everyone else to get to know him, since he hadn’t gone to many gatherings with me before this. He’s also a little shy when he first meets people. He gets over it quick, though!
Indoor & Outdoor Zumba
I have been out and about to a few stores since businesses are re-opening.
Before, I only went inside Costco and Menards due to their mask-wearing requirements. I have now branched out to Target, Festival (grocery store), and T.J. Maxx.
Learn to Love Myself
I married a great guy.
He is never anything but supportive of me, even when I’m not supportive of myself.
For example, I haven’t been happy about the way my body looks for awhile now. I have Scoliosis in my lower back, which makes my hips look off-balance. I have love handles. I also seem to carry all my extra weight in my tummy.
I am aware I’m am not the only one with these issues. These are all common things that women dislike about their bodies.
Self-Distancing
I have been self-distancing for about a month now. Maybe more, maybe less. It’s hard to keep track anymore. I know a lot of people are in the same boat.
The days seem to go by in 5 minutes, yet the weeks go by slowly. It’s weird and confusing.
I am less stressed than I was at the beginning of all of this. We have been able to keep having an income and have been able to continue operating the business. It was just Jeff and I fulfilling online orders for a bit
Zumba Instructor?
I am trying a “new” thing during this quaratine. I have started online training to become a Zumba Instructor!
I have always wanted to have access to all the zumba music and choreography that I learn in my Zumba classes. Sometimes, I just want to know what a song I like is called so I can dowload it for myself
I plan my life out a day at a time, so my posting schedule can be erratic.
