Happy Friday folks! I can’t believe it’s been a week since I left for Toronto (look for my official post re-cap of ZIN Day this weekend). Tomorrow morning I am beginning to teach a new class format called Hip Hop Hustle. For any of you familiar with Chalene Johnson, it’s one of the formats she […]
Hacked
I don’t know what it is about me and my blog, but I seem to be a very popular hacking victim. It was just last month when my blog was hacked the first time, just over $200 later I was back online. Afterwards I installed all sorts of precautions that were *suppose* to deter […]
The Beauty of Zumba
Tonight was a double Zumba night for me. Well, really most week nights are double Zumba nights, but whatever. First up was class at Acadia I did actually pin my bangs back before class. Anytime I leave my bangs down is a total disaster. It’s a weird time of year for fitness classes. Aside from […]
Oven Baked Potato Wedges
Oven baked potato wedges the best of both worlds, all the health benefits of forgoing the deep fryer with all the yumminess of fries. How can you go wrong? Well, one way to go wrong is to attempt making potato wedges on an unlined (no parchment paper or silicone mat lined) cookie sheet, but I digress. Friends, I […]
Pita Pizza: Your Lunchtime Savour
Somehow, even when I plan our meals prior to grocery shopping I always neglect to think of meals for me for lunch. I always make sure I have everything figured out for supper, and for my husband’s lunches/breakfasts but not my own. Sometimes I am smart and make a big pot of soup on the weekend […]
City Sights
Hey everyone! Like I mentioned on Friday, this past weekend we headed into the city to see Jerry Seinfeld! Since we don’t get into the city too often we journeyed in a bit early to do a little shopping and looking around. We also wanted to beat the parking craziness that we knew would happen near […]
Why I Didn’t Talk About Fibromyalgia
That’s not entirely true. I’ve talk about my health a couple of times before on the blog, but certainly not very often. I’ve casually mentioned it a few times but this past Monday was only the second time I wrote a post actually focusing around my condition (the first post was lost in the great […]
Be What You Want to Become
We all know people who continue to say they are going to do something, but never do it, and then complain because they haven’t seen the results they want to see. And then there are the people who refuse to let what they are (or have been) hold them back from what they want to be. In […]
Road Trip to Applebees
This past weekend, myself and three friends (Arlene, Lisa and Cathy) piled into my car and headed to the city for a day of shopping and supper at Applebee’s. I had never been to Applebee’s before so when I was contacted by them a month or so ago and asked if I wanted to come try […]
Tips for New Zumba Instructors
Teaching Zumba can be a daunting task. Even for the seasoned fitness instructor is can be a bit overwhelming. I know a few really, really, awesome fitness instructors who took the training but decided they didn’t want to teach Zumba because they found it too stressful. The nice thing about teaching a regular fitness class (kickboxing, step, aerobics, etc.) is you can […]
