zumba virgin no more!

On Sunday I went to the Perth Telethon Zumba challenge...FRICKIN 33-35 degrees heat!!!  Anyway, I met some more of the Perth Crew after introducing myself to the group once I recognised them in their Perth Crew hats!  It was a bit awkward as I hadn't met any of them before...but still, they invited me to sit with them and got chatting away.

There was a bit of waiting around, but finally the zumba challenge got started.  I still managed to burn 450 cals once it started...and I got to zumba next to once of the actors off Packed to the Rafters!!  Was a good day, but too hot for me!!

meeting the Perth Crew for the first time

Hello everyone who is reading this (obviously you're not watching any rugby)!

Well, my partner and I have moved to Perth and arrived on Thursday 6th October.  I'm staying in a hotel for two weeks (thanks to my company), and then moving into an executive apartment for another two weeks.....hopefully inbetween this my partner and I find an apartment to lease for 12 months!  Jesse goes back to work on Tuesday, so we have two more nights together until he heads off for two weeks.

So, Friday night we met some of the Perth Crew for the first time at a Ki-max class at the Morley YMCA.  It was fantastic, and I burnt 695 calories in the hour!  Amazing workout and I was literally dripping with sweat.  I took Jesse with me and he said he's never had a workout like that before (he too was dripping).  He's more used to the 'blokey' workout with the boys doing weights etc.  So it was fun for us both. 

The Perth ladies were lovely.  I was in the bathroom getting changed into my gear and then a few of them came in trying on Perth Crew tops....they were having a right laugh!  They made me feel so welcome as well.  Sally was lovely, organising the class and yet she was injured from a 17km walk and yet she still turns up and gets it all going...how cool is that!  PLUS she had brought along my cap and Perth top so that was a nice surprise!  There were a couple other ladies that I got chatting too, but I'm sooo bad with names I can't remember already! Will do a snoop on the Perth FB page hehe.  So all around, had a WICKED night at boxing, worked up a sweat after a LOOOooong day driving around and visiting open homes (or as the Aussies call it 'home open'..weird)!
