I want to weigh what I told the DMV I weigh

I found this graphic while browsing Pinterest this evening and it brought me a good laugh.

Disclaimer: this was not my own creativity
After sitting on my rear end for the past three days in all day meetings for work I really feel like I need to get up and move. If only it wasn’t pouring raining outside… 
But really! What fitness activities do you incorporate into your week to ensure you are staying fit? 
I try to make sure I’m staying active by doing at least the following two things:
  1.  I work out with two other ladies two days a week with a personal trainer. Doing so helps to keep me accountable to pushing myself beyond my normal limits.
  2. The other way I love to incorporate fitness into my schedule is by attending a Zumba class 2-3 days a week. I love Zumba! It’s so much fun to shake what your momma gave ya and burn calories while you’re doing so! 
  3. The last thing I try to do when I can is go on long power walks with my hubby or a friend. This is a lot of fun because you get to catch up with a friend, get some excercise, and go on an adventure along the way!

With an upcoming cruise coming up for my entire company in February now is my crunch time to get and stay fit. What is your favorite way to make sure you are maintaining (or getting to the level) of the weight you told the DMV you weigh?

    Hi from Bloggy Moms! I love zumba as well. At this point in my life (38 years old and loving it) my opportunites to dance seem to dwindle. Few weddings left and any time I spend in a club/bar I'm ususally just wanting to walk up to all the women with their name and address hanging out the bottom of their dresses and say, "Honey, trust me. In a few years not only will this outfit be the standard you forever hold yourself to but will never achieve again, but no man who approaches you because of it will be a grat lifemate."

    Anyway, zumba is the place where me and every other white woman from age 35-65 can dance freely!

    So excited to find your blog! Thanks for sharing!

    Haha, your funny! I love Zumba and am in my mid twenties. I can honestly say my zumba class has participants in their teens all the way to their 80s! What a fun way to shed some calories!

    So glad to you have following along! I love your blog by the way, Vicky!
