Back In The Saddle Again

Well, long time no see people!  Sorry for being such a horrible blogger!  I'll try and be better now.  Well, here's an update on my life for the last two months.  September 20th my bestie Carebear and I started the Biggest Loser at our gym.  I wasn't sure about the whole thing when we started, but now that I've reached the end, I've realized that it was an amazing experience.  I learned that I had the stamina to do and even though I got sick in the middle of it, I still completed every week and made it to the next.  I didn't win the competition, but I still made personal gains which is more important right now.  Overall I lost only 7.6 lbs and 4.75 inches, but I feel like I've gained some great new friends and the realization that YES I CAN DO IT! 

So now to keep up the hard/good work... I have discovered a great way to burn calories ad have a blast while doing it.  It's something probably many people use, but when my sister and I discovered what a great workout it was, we couldn't get enough.  It's Just Dance! And now, Just Dance 2!  I love it!  We got our Wii about a year and a half ago, and when we got Just Dance we were in heaven.  Now that we own Just Dance 2, we are set for life.  Well... at least until Just Dance 3 comes out, that is.  Anyway, that's been one of my favorite additions to this fall's workout regime. 

Another exciting new adventure that I've embarked on is my new job!  I'm a Title Aid/other job titles at an amazing school.  The students I work with are incredible and always making me laugh.  I have wonderful coworkers and by getting this job, I'm able to work kids which is my passion and also work on getting healthy. It's win-win overall.  Not what I'd initially envisioned for my first job out of school, but really it was what I needed.

So anyway, that's a little insight to what has been happening in Miss V's life since I left y'all two months ago.  I'm going to keep Zumba-ing and Just Dancing it up and having fun all at the same time.  Talk to you soon!  Loves...
