Zumba

So I'm trying a new workout routine, which includes trying Zumba for the first time. I found a beginner video on youtube which is very easy to follow, and is actually a pretty good workout. So I burn while I learn. lol

My goal is to Zumba at least 3 days a week, and walk 3 days a week. I'm not really into strength training, but I think I should try to add weight lifting a few times here and there. For now, I just want to burn the extra fat around my mid section, and my thighs. After that, I will focus on toning my abs and arms.

I've been working out off and on with the Nintendo Wii game, EA Sports (the first version) and it's been a good workout, but now I'm trying to get some variety so I don't get tired of doing the same thing day after day. With Zumba, there are a ton of dance moves to keep each workout fresh.

Home Warranty Mistake

One of my neighbors' air conditioning broke about a month ago. They have been trying to get it fixed for over a month now. The reason it's taking so long? Their home warranty service sucks. Like many people who buy a new home, they decided to purchase a home warranty offered to them when they moved into their new place. They wanted to make sure they were covered in case something broke down. Well, now their A/C broke so when they called the warranty company, it took some time and effort just to get an appointment. When the A/C guy finally came over to check out their problem, he told them he needed to order parts and would have to make another appointment to come back and fix the problem.

My neighbors made another appointment, only to have the company cancel on them 3 days before. Then when they finally came out again to fix the A/C, they told my neighbors they couldn't do any work, because the machinery they brought was too big to fit in their furnace opening. So now they will have to make another appointment for them to come back with the right equipment and hopefully they will finally get their air conditioning working.

The moral of this story: Home Warranty Programs are not always the best option. Sometimes it's better to find your own repair company and get your problem fixed when you need it.

Dentist Trip

Okay, so I had to go to the dentist again last week. It's been about 1 year or so since my last visit, and I'm trying to go more often. I still haven't had my wisdom teeth taken out. I'm such a procrastinator

I only had 1 cavity, but I had to get a crown on another tooth because there was a crack in it. If the dentist didn't catch it in time, it would have been way worse. I go back in 2 weeks to get the permanent crown and then I need to get a referral to get my wisdom teeth removed. That's going to suck, but it has to be done :-(
