Atlantic City, Zumba and Belly Dancing

Atlantic City
This past weekend I went with my two gfs and their bfs (yes, I was the fifth wheel) to Atlantic City!! First time I've actually gambled in a casino for longer than one slot pull.  But we didn't go to AC for the gambling, more so for Lucia's engagement party! Congrats again to the couple!  For my stay at AC, I walked a lot and ate pretty lean (4 meals for that weekend, mostly sandwiches).

Zumba and Belly Dancing
On Monday, since I bought the 20 classes for $19 deal, I headed over to Zumba and Belly dancing!  Zumba was surprisingly quite fun.  The teacher played the Top 40 hit songs while leading us exercising and rocking to the beat.  She says we burned 1000 calories, but I honestly felt it was around 300 for me since I couldn't pick up her moves that quick and was floundering all over the place.  

Belly dancing was educational and interesting but definitely NOT a workout.  Do not expect to break a sweat if you choose this class.  However, I was happy since I got to put on the hip scarves with the gold coins attached, and shimmy around. =P

The schedule for their classes are below as their website is not updated.

Tonight, I met up with a friend for a volunteering meet and then proceeded to go home.  I've been  pretty slack with my exercise regime which consisted only of a one mile jog on the old treadmill today.  I attribute this to my great dislike for winter (not only because of my cold urticaria) but because simply put, I just don't want to get out of my warm bed in the mornings or at night.  But, I must.  I gotta remember this is for my #1 priority. =)
