I know last week I did not do a Fitness Friday post don't worry I will catch you up, I didn't do much. Apart from stretching my week in exercise was pretty uneventful. 

This week however was has been really good. Although the goal was to simply not gain, I lost 2lbs! I have been trying to eat on a more timely manner and I have incorporated Zumba Wii. I was able to purchase it with a Groupon deal for $27 with free shipping that has since then ended. If you don't follow me on Twitter or Facebook you should because I share many of the deals I get on the and this way you won't miss any great offers.
