Zumba is not only fun but also a good aerobic workout. It targets different muscles in our body, though it does not always mean that it's going help you lose weight right away.

For me fasting is one of best thing that helps me stay in shape even when I junk and I can a lot but only in certain period of time.

Look at how much food am I ate at lunch today! I could eat more but this place is quite costly so I have to resist, hehe.

I had waffle banana pecan that I smothered with maple syrup, gosh it was soooo good! Then I had egg benedict, grilled potatoes and salad. Imagine how much calories that is! Dessert first before the main dish, because that's how I like to do it! Haha

Am even thinking I I should get an ice cream since we're at the mall! 😂😂😂

Did you workout today? What did you eat after?Leave your answer in the comment box and get a mega upvote from me! 😉

Well, in my opinion, dancing is the best workout ever! :) So my workout of course was dancing and inventing choreographs to my dance class. I ate rice noodles, minced meat and tomato sauce, vegetables, fruit, coffee and strawberry cheese cake. Not including breakfast and evening snack after classes. :D

16 years as an instructor. And I love it. :)

I sometimes do that too, eat desert first. Especially if there's ice cream.

It's funny because all live in one big wall though different towers but we only get to see each other during Zumba or if we plan a get together, we rarely bump into each other in the elevator or around the community. 😅

Hi, @purepinay -

I think you know I lost "half my size" eight years ago and have not had trouble with my weight since. This was after 50 years of being the fat girl and having nothing work.

The difference for me was getting over my excuses and trying until something worked. That something was to stop counting calories and to start counting nutrition. I worked then and now to try to get 100% of the 19 essential nutrient each day and never think about calories. And I try hard not to eat the nasties such as food coloring, gmo's, pesticides etc. BOOM! Weight gone!

As to exercise - I work out every single day, but only need to go 10 minutes to have it count. Once I get 10 minutes in, it usually goes longer. I am sick now and exercise in bed and/or at a "ballet bar" on my balcony. It does not take much to keep me in shape now. I might do two sets of lunges in the morning and then cat/cow in the afternoon for example. It's a nice keyboard break.

I'm so glad to know the little things count. With my balance and stamina issues, Zumba is out of the question, but I can laugh to think of trying :)

Wow thanks for the thoughtful response. I haven't seen a Steemian respond like yours in a very long time. Last time I got moments this long was when my upvote was worth 25 dollars lol.

Anyways, am really proud of you, losing weight that much is tough and congratulations for maintaining your healthy lifestyle.

I wish I could say I am doing better, @purepinay, but I seem to be staying sick. Thank you so much for asking and I hope soon to have a better answer.
