Gettin back my groove back

So I'm getting my groove back by taking a Jazz dance class every Tuesday. Mind you this is my first class after having three kids! And I have to say I'm glad there were no mirrors in this class! My flexibility is not what it used to be. But I do feel better. Dancing has always been a passion of mine but I was at the height of my dancing when I found out I was pregnant with my first son. So now I'm back! I have some other friends that teach some Hip Hop classes but these are way advanced. I'm starting out slow but I'm going to take the advanced classes soon. I think that if I do this every Tuesday I can supplement the rest of the week with my Hip Hop abs dvd's and Walking with the baby. Right now by body weight is in the healthy range for my height but I do want my body to be right for me. And that includes toning and flexibility. I have heard that the LA WNBA team has dancers that are older women 40 ish and up and I hope to be that fit when I'm older. I'm done having any of my own children so I figure I can start now and work up to that. If anyone knows of any good adult dance classes in Salt Lake leave me a comment so I can post them on my blog!!! Let's hope I don't feel to bad in the morning now! LOL

So Time to make a weight loss update I am now down to 150 Yea!!! Now that it's getting nicer and warmer outside I am able to more walking with the baby in the stroller. And I am still watching what I eat. It's super hard when my boys want to have dessert every night after dinner, but I have been strong enough to not eat it every day. I have been making meals that are healthier for the family. Online you can get lots of recipes that list the calories and fat. But you also have to stick to the serving sizes if you want the results. If it says 1 cup then measure 1 cup. You'd be surprised what you really need to feel full! I now have a date that I want to be down to my goal by. We are going on a Vaca in May to Mesquite/ St.George. So I need to be able to wear my swimsuit by then. So now I just have 20 lbs to loose and some major toning to do. I've been thinking about a purchase to help with the toning. I want to know what you think of Fit Flops. Have you tried them?? Have you heard any good things about them?? The average price for a pair is about $80. So I'd like to get your opinion about them before I make this purchase. And I know that rebook makes a shoe and sketchers makes a shoe that help with toning your legs. Have you tried them?? Do you know if either one is better?? As I was watching celebrity fit club boot camp last night while folding laundry I saw many people on there who are not oer weight but they just want to look better for their height. And I think that's what I want . I just need to look good for me and what I'm used to. If any of you are reading this and are also going on a journey to look and feel better, keep it up!! Your awesome and you can do it!!
