For the past 3 weeks I have been attending EMZ, EMZ is put on by a lovely Tongan woman who over the past 2 years has influenced many Polynesian men and women to get out and exercise by creating these free classes. They are held at 5:30am at LDS chapels every week day. I love that they are free classes, its the getting up that has taken some time to get used to. The first week I attended every morning-did I tell ya that I love being up before everyone else, and every week after that I have been going less and less.

When I first started I knew that in order to reach my goal weight by the date I set I would need to do at least 2 workouts a day, one hard one-like a Zumba class in the morning, and in the evening, a 5-10 mile bike ride, a walk/jog, or yoga or something similar. I went hard core for the first two weeks, and obviously got burnt out, that is why I have been slacking with the EMZ. But, I have been able to go to evening Zumba classes and I have been enjoying them and finding that I have a lot more energy in the evenings. My plan is to still get in a session of Zumba everyday whether in the morning or the evening. Since I have started I have lost weight, and I have more endurance to last through a whole one hour Zumba, and my clothes are not skin tight. I'm still not where I want to be but I'm that much closer to my goal.
