zumba and colds

evertime we come into work on monday and wednesday nights there is a zumba class going on. we all laugh at the crazy moves that the people do and some are just down right crazy when it comes to shaking their hips. well after a whole semester of laughing and pointing at how ridiculous everyone looks while they do zumba, a couple friends that i work with and i decided we would give it a shot. at least we had each other to look ridiculous with right? it didn't look like that hard of a workout so i was definitely not expecting to work up a sweat. well let me tell you...i got tired, i sweated alot, and i am definitely not a good dancer. but we laughed the whole time and it was probably one of the funnest workouts i have ever done. needless to say, we will be going back every monday and wednesday to participate in such a crazy and downright almost embarrassing workout. at least we can laugh and burn calories at the same time. we may have got made fun of by our other coworkers that pointed and laughed at us but what the hey, it was worth it.

i have had a cold since last saturday and i thought it was getting better. after our little zumba adventure, i went and played basketball for intramurals. not smart. i woke up the next morning with a high-pitched squeaky mouse voice. yep, working out does not do well for you when you have a sore throat and cold. the snot in my nose keeps piling up no matter how many times i blow it. medicine has failed me at this point. my boss made me drink a whole carton of orange juice yesterday so i think i'm caught up on all my vitamin c for awhile. lets hope it helps this cold leave faster. today has gotten worse. i have no squeaky mouse voice anymore. it is just a whisper. if you call me and wonder why no one is talking on the other side, just know i am there yelling into the phone will all my might even though you can't hear me.

last night was probably the worst night of my cold yet. i am so thankful for my sweet husband that wakes up in the middle of the night everytime i get out of bed and asks what is wrong. it might have been the cough attack and my wheezing for some air that woke him up but he is sweet all the same. he got up and got me some cough medicine and water and rubbed my arm til i fell back asleep. he is the sweetest husband ever and i am so happy to call him mine. hopefully my voice will return shortly and i can go back to talking everyone's ears off. i miss being able to talk. be thankful for a voice!

well happy december. i can't believe it is already here.

two thousand eleven will be here soon.

just some advice...stay away from people with colds.

especially me.
