Emotional Workout
I have signed up to do the SLC Marathon this year and as a result I have been going to the gym. On Thursday, new year's day, there was a Zumba class at the gym, so I thought I would do the class and then run my 4 miles. Zumba is a Latin Music class, that is SO much fun. It was my first time and I was a blast. A total work out and SUPER fun. I love dancing and I LOVE dancing to Latin music. I have never felt a real tie to my Latin roots so ANYWAY... There we were dancing when this song comes on, "desde que me dejaste", I start to tear up as we are doing our moves. I was totally feeling the music and overcome with emotion. I thought of my early years when I used to dance with my sister at home. Then I look up at the mirror, and I look just like her. I tell myself I better get my act together, this is not cool to cry during a gym class. Whatever, the class goes on and I keep doing my thing THEN this other song comes on, "mi negra tomasa". My brother Marcos will sing this song to my sister all the time. So there I go again, I start to ball again! I was singing, dancing, crying and staring into the mirror thinking of my sister. Who knew I would be such a basket case at a gym class!? Oh well, I certainly will keep going. I love you "Poopy Squatz".

How were you able to breathe among all of the dancing and crying? I think I would have passed out right there on the spot. Looks like fun. I really need to do something for my mental health despite the pregnancy.
I LOVE THAT CLASS. Although I've never cried.
You're CRAAAAAAZY.
I think it's awesome.
It's part of the reason I love you so much.
I Love Zumba too. I used to do it in MN. I didnt know they had a class around here- you'll have to take me on "free week." I actually teared up a little to on my first day but it gets better. After a while it takes more energy to concentrate on the poopy squats and the swishy swishy swirly hips. Que divertido- debes trajer tu mama alguna vez.
That's pretty funny! Good job with the workouts though! That's awesome!
You and your sister look so much alike in this picture. I like the description of your emotional workout, I just had to laugh because there are times when I get emotional over things that other people think are crazy or insignificant. I like what your tia maggie said - que crazy llorando!! :)
I was in the car with Marcos when you told him that story. He could not stop laughing about the whole ordeal. I thought it was funny, but not in the same way as he did. I can't help but worry that I could easily do the same thing. I'm suck a lame-o when it comes to getting emotional over anything and everything. Oh well, funny story! Cool about the marathon. I really want to do another race, but haven't decided if I should go for a half marathon or marathon. I'm really not a great runner, but love pushing myself beyond what I thought I could do.
You are so funny! But I could see myself doing the same type of thing. It is amazing how the littlest things can make us emotional!
You are a total inspiration! I just love you!
