What a great weekend I had in Michigan! It was awesome seeing my family and friends! We did a pre-game performance at the Detroit Pistons game and it was a hit! They asked us to come back next season for a half-time performance! My twin sister and daughter created the fun routine that we performed. Here is a link to the performance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdcmdTv55Uc We also held a http://www.z-boxfitness.com/ workshop at World Gym in Shelby Township. What a fun group of instructors! I feel confident that they will be wonderful at teaching Z-Box!

It is a shame that teaching the way a Zumba class (or any other fitness class) should be taught is not appropriate for "Another State" fitness club members or club. A coordinator of a club called me (where I sub) because a few members complained that they had to "mirror" me and my class was too intense since I did not pause to change my music!!!! (I honestly think only one person called, but she had to make it sound like a few!! LOL) It made me laugh because I teach the way instructors should be teaching!

Barley came into my life last April. He is from a shelter and was six months at the time. I absolutely did not want him, but gave him a try as long as I knew I could give him back. Barley has been one of the best decisions of my lifetime! I never experienced the love I have for Barley. He is the absolute best! Every time I think of him I have to smile. So this is what love really feels like!?!? He has the greatest personality and is a perfect little doggie. Since I moved, I have been extremely lonely. Well, Barley filled that emptiness quickly!

This is my first blog and journal! So I hope you enjoy reading my posts. If you have any questions or comments, let me know. Here is a link to a video that Debbie, Christina and I made for the Ultimate Zumba Video Commercial Contest. We ended up not winning. So we changed the video to be used as a fun promo for Fitness Motivators. It was fun taping it! I could hardly walk in Chrissy's shoes. They kept coming off and they were too high!
