Being New

I walked into a new Zumba class in my new town last night and I didn't know a single person there.

It can be tough being the newbie.

It can be a little awkward.

How similar this was to my first Zumba class on January 12, 2010.

I remember that I weighed about 221 lbs at my first Zumba class.

I wore sweat pants and a big T-shirt. 

I stood in the back of the room.

But I still figured out the moves (it took more than a few classes with my two left feet).

And it turned out that I made some great friends in that class back in early 2010.

So, let's fast forward...

Fast forward to last night.  Here I am after Zumba class.

The workout clothes may be a little different now.

And I chose to stand in the front of the room this time.

...but I still know what it's like to be the newbie.

    Its a different you starting out as a newbie this time even though the feeling inside is the same Im sure the feeling inside the room was not - you are the cool new chick with the Zumba moves in your hot workout outfit. LOL - hope you will form new friendships in your new class and your new town. I know how hard it is to relocate - Good Luck!

    I always seem to be the new kid on the block in exercise classes and I do hide in the back. I go there partly because I hate being asked to move because "I always exercise there." That drives me crazy. I want to say "You should have been on time." but, of course, I never do. I just move and keep going. :(

    Good job on finding a class quickly.

    Our zumba class rotates rows after every song, but I always start in the front so I can immediately move to the back after the warm up song! Haha. :)

    So proud of you facing a new situation with your adorbs workout clothes and fantastic attitude!

    That's my issue sometimes. I wish I could just walk in a dancing class being the newest there and going there by myself, knowing no one and learn pretty much from scratch the moves! I find that so awkward and complicated to do!

    Congrats!

    EMILIO!
