new year and zumba

I've now joined the legions of zumba crazed folks dying to lose an extra 10 lbs.  It's not just because I was a fatty over the holidays... I've been a gradual fatty for the past 10 years and realized I have probably gained at least 1-1.5lbs per year as a fatty.  2011 goal - to stop being a fatty :)  And it's not just about doing cardio, I gotta work the whole package.  Here are my goals (or steps since I LOVE lists):

Step 1: Zumba
Step 2: Stop eating so much!!
Step 3: Continue to go running
Step 4: weights, crunches, push ups, squats, etc...

Step 1 is actually pretty easy because Zumba is fun and I am enjoying it.  I try not to look at myself in the mirror.  I have NO rhythm.. but otherwise I am loving Zumba.
Step 2 is HARD.  If you know me, you know how I love to eat.  I plan dinner while I eat my lunch.  I ponder the next day's meals at dinnertime.  I love to eat well and I love to cook.  But I need to really nail down "portion control" (as a sidenote.  my coworker just brought in donuts.  maple bars.  Must.Exert.Self.Control.)
Step 3 is OK.  When it's not raining, or cold. Did I mention I live in rainy cold Oregon?  And it's January??
Step 4 is *yawn* a necessity.

Will power.  Just say NO to the donuts.  ZUMBA.  Zumba. zumba.  I can do this :)
