It's official...now what?

Trainer Julie ROCKED!

Well I did it!  I didn't really give myself much "thinking time" as the class was only about a week out when I began looking into the idea.

So...now what?  Well I do know I will be utilizing this training here at the park.  But that is only about 4, maybe 5, months out of the year.  Luckily I don't have to think about the rest of the year until closer to April.  There is so much "stuff" swimming in my head right now that I've definitely got to take some time to sort through it.  Zumba Fitness provides soooo much more than just a license to teach their classes.  They really have a great network and support system for instructors.

The training was a BLAST!!  Trainer Julie was awesome.  She had the attitude, the style and the humor to make the day just fly by.  Really, I could take a class from her ANY day.  Oh, and did I mention she has SEVEN (7) children!!  Yeah, you should see her abs....

Who's ready??

Seriously, if are not in the Port Isabel, TX area and want some totally exhilarating FUN fitness, check out the Zumba website to find a studio near you!

Fun fact I found out....Running for 12 miles in 4 hours can burn about the same amount of calories in 1 hour of Zumba.  I kid you not.  

Have been considering getting my Zumba license.  Still weighing the cost vs. benefits.

Costs:
$270 for 1 day course and 1 yr license
$30 mo if I want license to last more than 1 yr

Benefits:
Use the name Zumba
Access to Music & Choreo
Jumping on the fitness wave!

This list is just the beginning and I will probably be adding as I find/learn more things!

Should I do it?  Give me your opinion and don't forget to tell me WHY!

Today's Inspiration

Yes, it really is a madness!

Yurt, Work and Dinner

I found out what a Yurt is today!  It's actually pretty cool and even cooler when you get to do yoga in one...well I take the cooler part back.  In deep south Texas it's nearly 80 as the sun in rising and the Yurt is NOT air conditioned.  But I LOVED every minute of it!!  I was running a bit behind today so the next time, oh and there will be a next time, I will get more pics!

Then I went to the grocery store...probably shouldn't do that on an empty stomach, eh?

How did those get in there??

 I had to work at noon today.  For those of you that don't know, I have been working part time at the Sandpiper Gift Shop.  It is inside the Pearl Resort on the island.  It has given me something to do this summer and a little extra spending money.  My days are numbered though.  Kids are heading back to school and Labor Day is just around the corner.  Almost time for the new season of life!

Yes, those are Tom's wedges....

Really don't need these...need to STOP shopping!

On my way home I pass this little shop right at the corner of my street.  They always have a whimsical saying on their sign.  Today I couldn't help but think that if Jesus liked fishing so much that I doubt he wouldn't have a little of it going on in heaven...catch and release of course. :)

Wasn't Jesus a fisherman?

DINNER!  I decided to pop in for some shrimp...I think I'll marinate it in a citrus sauce until Joe comes home.

We have found that living by the coast does not allow for a very deep or good fresh water resource thus the water that comes from your pipes is quite icky....so this is our daily ritual.  Right at the end of the block, how convenient!

DON'T DRINK THE WATER!

Dinner!!  I found a citrus marinade packet that called for adding only the OJ so that's what I went with for tonight.  Grilled everything up and ta-da!  Joe was a happy man.
