OMG--I forgot to post today!  I had my trainer workout today and a rousing dance lesson yesterday.  I finally did my choreo at temp and let me tell you--that was a workout.  We still have a bit left to choreograph, but we're almost there and hopefully, we get an extra week because the owner's competition got canceled, so we're hoping that he does it the day it was originally scheduled, which gives me an extra week.  My mom may be a bit irritated because I asked her to fly in early because they moved it up a week.

I am super busy tomorrow so I may not be able to post, but I have a dance lesson and then I'm doing a zumba class at 6.  I really don't like exercising at night because I get all revved up and then I can't go to sleep.

I hope you are all having a good day.  No sign of the big mean hawk today, but I found out last night that we have a fox in the neighborhood, which isn't good for little dogs either.

Hey hey.    Well it was a warm humid one today and we just had a batch of thunderstoms move through.   Still dark and rumbling but the rain stopped.

I did 50 minutes today on the Pilates Chair with Rosalie Brown, a little on the TG and 40 on the rebounder.   Pilates reformer various movements.   Dog walk but not far as Logan was to hot

@DrKelli  we have lots of fox!!

Lol...and here I thought I lived in the wilderness.  Haven't seen a fox.  Once in a while, someone spots a coyote.  But our norm are raccoons, squirrels, deer, rabbits, occasional snake.  And those are as much as I can handle, lol.  There's a spot in the corner near our front door that a raccoon or some critter has claimed as the spot to do his business.  We have to sweep it away every few days.  Wish he'd help with the mortgage.

Good morning, everybody.  Bad weather night again but luckily no tornado warnings.  Thunder and lightning was having a good party, though.

Humidity and high temperatures are expected again and I don't think I'm going out.  There's dozens of ways to get a workout indoors so I figure out something.  I might do my exercises bike today.  @DrKelli, you do so much dancing that missing an exercise class can't hurt you too much.  Relax a little, you're making me feel like I'm dormant, lol.

Enjoy this beautiful yet volatile weather day everybody.  At least we're still in it, right.

Good morning all--another hot day here.  Another neighbor has spotted the hawk in her backyard.  I've lived in my house almost 16 years and I don't remember ever having this much wildlife.  I never saw a raccoon until this summer, only saw hawks and bunnies at the park, but now they are in my backyard regularly.

Today I have a dance lesson at 4 and then I'm staying for the zumba class at 6.  Mostly so the instructor can get to know me.  I may not have had the best introduction with her when I walked up and told her I could sub for her.

I'm also teaching (I think) on Saturday because the scheduled instructor cannot teach that day.

I have meetings all day until about 3, so I better scoot.  Hope you all have a good day!!

Wellness Wednesday!   I did The reformer Glute and Ab workout using a thigh band and my bum and abs were on fire and I'm not kidding.  Pilates really gets in their.   Then did a stretching routine on the Cellerciser and that address my imbalances and weaknesses so I may add this to my daily regime.

We have lots of critters too.  I saw 2 deer and an owl on our walk today.  Didn't take him to far as it's to warm and humid out.

Consistenc is key for all of us and no matter what you chose to do chose something please.  Eat only until satisfied and only when you are hungry.  I'm working on this and it is for sure a process

Have a good evening!

Had a few days off from work and was totally and completely lazy.  Now today, not feeling too well - its gotten warm and I'm sneezing so think my allergies are in full swing, have a bit of a headache too.  This tends to happen to me when temperatures go up and things - whatever they are - start to bloom or open up in the heat.  So nothing today.  Maybe tomorrow.

Take care all!

Good morning, all!

@JudyL the smoke from the wildfires is playing havoc with my allergies.  The weather people say that we should get some relief this weekend when  a cold front comes through.  I can't wait.

I had my dance lesson and zumba class last night. It was the strangest class I've ever taken because usually you just dive in and try to keep up as best as you can and eventually you learn the moves (which is why I always keep a playlist for a month).  She took each song and taught the steps and then we did the song.  Then she moved to the next one.  I still worked up a sweat but it was weird.  And I am subbing for her next week, so I'm going to have to relearn all my choreo and then figure out how to teach her way.

On my way home, one of the streets I travel was all blocked off.  I was watching the late news and found out that the county sheriff's department had shot and killed a man at the intersection.  Had I not stayed for zumba, I would have likely been right in the middle of that because it happened about the time I go home from my lesson.

Today, it will be all about memorizing old zumba choreography and listening to my lablast playlist for Saturday.  I'm also getting my annual microblade eyebrow touch up.

I hope you all have a great day!!

Morning, everyone.  No rain last night....oh, happy day!

Well, I have some morning errands and although there's no fitness class for me, I'll stop by thefitneess center and walk a few laps.  Humidity is lowering so less sweating.

@DrKelli ....mcroblade brow touch up.  What's that?  Like an arch?

Have a great day, peeps.

Good morning all! We made it to Friday!!

@Mmsfoxxie microblading is a semi-permanent tattoo process for your eyebrows. It looks more natural than a regular tattoo because the piece of equipment they use has 3 or 4 fine blades instead of just a needle, so it looks like actual hairs.  Because it is semi permanent, you need to get the color touched up about once a year--some can go longer, but I just try to do it every year.  A bad wax job 30 some years ago took off about half an eyebrow and I just have terrible eyebrows so I have had to draw them on.  With microblading, I don't have to do that and I have the same eyebrows every day LOL!!

Yesterday, I didn't really do anything except review some Zumba choreography--I remembered more than I thought, but I'm still going to have to study this weekend.  I have a dance lesson today and will teach LaBlast tomorrow.

The weather is a bit cooler today and we're supposed to have some storms this afternoon!  I hope that's true.  It's a bit less hazy today, so I'm thankful for that.

I hope you all have a terrific weekend!!!!
