Day 41

Ok..so quick story..Today we went to zumba (duh) but had some issues! Due to traffic we were not early but EXACTLY on time..well, when we came up the stairs there was a lady standin there sayin it was full to capacity and we weren't allowed in! I was like..seriously?!? we always pack in that room!! People come in in the middle of class like alllllllll the time! Well..we met up with a few other 'regulars' that were rejected and talked about it..Then I was like..well I will sit outside the door and wait for someone to leave (because people always do), but Em said we should go to the track or something..so i jogged around the track a mile and she ran..then we walked and I decided I would sneak down and see if the mean lady (who I later found out was also a zumba intstructor, but I have seen her in class and she sucks, and she was prob just jealous) was still there..she wasn't..so I got em and we snuck in for the last 20 minutes. The director was in there though but told us she would let us in..I was like..u better because I NEED zumba!

But anyway, I was already pretty awake, so I got up to catch up on my blogs! I was a tad preoccupied this week because I was updating one of my other blogs: http://lizzygoes.blogspot.com/

a big sorry!!

Hello fellow team members--
To all that are following my blog I must apologize! I have been a bad girl the past 3 days and feel very guilty about it. I was in Florida (as you might have seen on my previous blog) for my birthday. I tried to be good, but then I just gave up keeping track. I know I know..i should be punished..so no banking of points this week!
I hope you all can find it in your heart to forgive me. I will see you bright and early tomorrow when I start tracking again!
Thanks!!
-Lizzy
