What is Starbucks Monday?
Starbucks Monday is something I started doing a few years ago in an effort both save money and lose weight. For awhile, I worked in a building with a Starbucks one block away walking distance. Since I don’t like Starbucks’ brewed coffee, I always got lattes (ooh, white chocolate mocha). Well, the dollars and the calories added up in a bad way and I determined I needed to cut my Starbucks habit back to save my budget and waist. I decided that since Mondays are typically the least popular day of the week that I needed to cheer it up with a treat. By getting a Starbucks (or latte at any other coffee joint) every Monday (instead of every other day), I’d always have something to look forward to to start my week off right.

I just found a studio in town that offers Zumba. What advice would you offer to a beginner? Is it better to take the zumba class, a dvd, or a zumba light class if your just learning.
If you’re extremely nervous about going to class for the first time, then you might want to look up some videos on youtube to get an idea of what a class is like. Or, you could practice for awhile on the DVDs. BUT…honestly, I would just leap headfirst into a class. And remember to not worry about what others think – just let loose and have a good time. Do the moves as best you can – it doesn’t matter if you don’t do them perfectly. It doesn’t matter if you do them completely wrong – especially the first time. You’ll get them at your own pace. Where I dance, we say “If you’re moving, you’re doing it right.”
