Zumba vs. Me vs. My Kids

Well, in an effort to win the "battle of the bulge," I started Zumba last night. My mom and I found a complete set of Zumba videos last week at SavABundle in Benton that were so cheap, it made me suspicious. Like, if these are so great, why are they so cheap? I guess nobody wants them and they are terrible! Well, my pre-assumptions were wrong. It was a lot of fun, with the exception of the audience of children that slowly gathered around to watch my fat jiggle to a variety of musical stylings.
I gotta tell you, excercising with children is an annoying and self-esteem-challenging experience. First, there was my daughter standing behind me and laughing. Then my oldest son came in and rolled his eyes. (what would I do without him?) Then, the three little boys came in and the comments began. It's like being on your own commentary show! Here are some of the highlights:
1) Mom, don't lose weight! I want you to look like this!
2) You look like you lost weight already! (it was a lie, but I chose to believe it anyway)
3) You're not fat, but the people on TV are really skinny. (nice, right?)
Well, wish me luck. At this rate, the only thing I expect to lose quickly is my sanity...
and maybe some kids.
