"Energy and persistence conquer all things." - Benjamin Franklin

Today's Update:  
Ok.. Back to working out.  I was able to get an early nap in so that I am awake and refreshened for my workout.

Today's task: A Workout
Zumba Fitness for Wii: 45 min. Intermediate Workout #1
I was feeling ambitious and tried the 45 minute Intermediate workout #1.  Wow!  I was feeling it and wondering when it would end.

It might have been nice to have 30 minute workouts on this game.  The jump from 20 minutes to 45 minutes is huge!  I did it anyways, but I can't say that I was doing that well.  I felt the cardio working.
I have to say that I am getting a bit bored with the combinations already in the game.  They are repeated over and over again in each workout.  I really wish there was another cool down song.  The same song to cool down to on each of the 6 different workouts that I have done.

Day 14: Zumba Fitness for Wii July 27th

"Every person needs to take one day away.  A day in which one consciously separates the past from the future.  Jobs, family, employers, and friends can exist one day without any one of us, and if our egos permit us to confess, they could exist eternally in our absence.  Each person deserves a day away in which no problems are confronted, no solutions searched for.  Each of us needs to withdraw from the cares which will not withdraw from us." - Maya Angelou

Today's Update:  
Busy day cleaning house.  Dinner last night with family was great.

Today's task: Rest
An actual rest day.... I so needed this day of rest.
