    DAY FOUR... Today is my work's anniversary party with free food and an open bar. I'm going to be careful not to over indulge but enjoy myself too. It's at a bowling alley so that is fun too.

    Yes, I love zumba .... before I know it class is over and I have burned over 500 calories and got my workout in for the day (It helps that my daughter is an instructor, she always makes me noticed in her classes.)

    DAY 8... My BMR – Basal Metabolic Rate (The number of calories your body burns at rest, with zero activity) is 1371 so I'm trying to stay under that number of calories per day through out this challenge. Today, I will go to a zumba & step aerobic class for my evening then hopefully eat within reason tonight for dinner. (My dinner will be tilapia, green beans & baked potato... dessert will be a banana & yogurt.)
