Finally my mom has found a healthy way to lose weight… gradually but surely! She is into Zumba dancing and mighty proud she is as she credits Zumba for losing 10 lbs. already. Well, as what I’ve heard from friends, Zumba is a Latin inspired fitness program and she swear to high heavens that she will stick to the dance routine forever because it promises to burn 500 calories per hour. Actually, I believe that she can really sustain the enthusiasm because way back then she was already into ballroom dancing and it was only when she got married and had a family that dancing took a back seat to taking care of us, tending the house and being a dutiful wife and mom. Secondly, according to her my dad is a boring dance partner who can’t can’t keep up with the groove and moves that oftentimes her being impatient of teaching him to dance leads to LQ’s (Lovers Quarrel). However, dad would always accommodate request from my dancing mom to be his partner even though he jokes about having “two left foot”.
I am sure glad to hear that she is back to dancing but I am kinda worried that her bones might be getting a little stiff and brittle now that she has turned 51. Just the other day, I had a little chit chat with her over the phone and she enthusiastically bragged about her dancing which she raved to be a fun workout which invigorates and makes her feel young. She should have considered dancing long before if that is the case because work always stressed her which makes her grumpy all the time. Now that she has been into fun and healthy activities, ageing will be delayed in some ways. She said that even without dad in the class she never worry at all because Zumba routines requires no partner. You just have to enjoy the music and love the dance.
Oh, I love to see my mom looking young and fit once again! It would be goodbyes to her slimming pills, slimming coffee and teas, the fad diets as she embraced the world of Zumba dancing. I hope mom will keep it up along with sensible diet. I told her to encourage dad to join the class too because his latest pic showed him with a bulging belly. That gives me an idea to order on line Zumba DVD’s as an ideal Christmas gift. Perfect!
