MY FIRST ZUMBA VIDEO!!

I have great news: I FINALLY UPLOADED A VIDEO THAT'S GOING ON THREE YEARS OLD!! Actually, I attempted to upload it, and it only did the first ten minutes...I'm not really sure where to go from here. Let me start from the beginning...

Once upon a time, I taught Zumba at the Waynesville Recreation Center. Little did I know that not only discovering Zumba there, but teaching it there would impact me greatly. My life has literally never been the same. I think I've shared before that 2008 was my first big year of weight loss. I've lost weight so many different times since then and I'd love nothing more than to finally sustain a weight loss, but it was 2008 that created my addiction to working out. It was the year that I learned to run, that I understood the importance of lifting weights, that I started taking numerous classes from numerous facilities, and when I first heard of Zumba.

Now, I'm not making this post about Zumba, and as I'm sitting here throwing these words down as randomly and as quickly as I can, I'm realizing that I haven't created a Zumba post yet...odd. I'll add it to my forever long To-Do List of Blog Post Topics...I'll pencil it in right between Why Pinterest Makes Me Hate Myself and I've Accepted the Laws of Gravity. Back on topic, Abigail: Upon meeting the man of my dreams, my time in Haywood County was coming to an end. I needed to be with Reuben, Reuben was not in Haywood, hence, Abigail leaves Haywood. The week I left, I taught one last Zumba class. It was three hours long of Abigail originals. You wanna talk about tough? In fact, the entire three hours didn't even get taped. I'm so tech challenged that I caught the middle of the madness. But where the video does pick up shows that I'm sweating like crazy and my energy had already diminished. I'm not usually so cranky faced.

Well, I've been sitting on this video for years because I couldn't get it to upload. My Waynesville members begged for me to post videos so they could continue moving and grooving; my lovely Zumba participants in South Korea continue to ask for videos, my husband bought me a Go Pro for crying out loud, and I'm just now getting ten minutes of an old video online. I said that was my 2013 goal...this goal is a work in progress. So, let me present to you, ten minutes of awesomeness!!
