Zumba addiction

48 pounds. 4 pants sizes. 2010. One word: Wow!

I'm really proud of my wife. With the births of three kids over the course of eight years, my wife's body hasn't been "hers" for quite some time. But, barring the miraculous or supernatural, we are pretty sure we have closed the book on family additions.  (Well, we have considered a puppy, but that doesn't count!)  She's now reclaiming some of her youthfulness.

She's not doing it for me, or anyone else... she's doing it for herself. She's like a completely new person... and I don't mean just outwardly. She has much greater self-esteem, and she says she feels better than she has in years.

What's her method? Two things:

1. She has a modified view of food after completing a self-study Bible course titled, The Lord's Table.
2. She discovered a form of exercise that she loves, called Zumba.

She has a final goal in mind for 2011, and she hopes to hit it by her birthday in July. I'm pretty confident that she will.  If she does, she has a vision of hosting a Zumba party, at our home, with her Zumba instructor and a yard full of dancing friends. I'm pretty sure the neighbors have never seen anything like that, but I think it's a great way to celebrate 35 years and a job well done... and expose others to the health benefits of her new Zumba addiction!
