things have been nice and low key around here since Christmas..it's icy cold every day, the daylight is short, and luckily the new year is right around the corner. I simply cannot wait for spring to arrive...I feel like a bear just eating and&nbs

we're getting set to leave for southern California tomorrow. A 14 hour road trip to Los Angeles to spend Christmas with my dad's side of the family. We're not flying because we need to take the little dog with us.. . Not a

we got an amazing (housewarming/christmas) gift today from my father in law and his wife. It's a complete kit for making wine at home. It contained this HUGE and heavy box of merlot grape juice concentrate (enough to make *30* bottles o

we headed to Portland yesterday to meet up with Mr. Yogagirl's old roommate. This was the guy he lived with when I met him waaaay back in 1992. We'd lost touch with him over the years and just last week we found him via a comment (and subsequ

it's often soooo hard to fill in for another instructor.  Especially if your style isn't exactly what they are used to. For instance: tonight I subbed the step aerobics class at the local gym. All fine and dandy. I can hang with a s

(( ouch ))...my head hurts and I've done absolutey nothing productive today except lay around in my lime green santa pajamas and watch TV all day. Okay so I quite possibly had a tad bit too much fun at the local gym's employee holiday pa

We got our first Christmas card in the mail today and it was from a friend in our old neigborhood in Texas. Remember waaaay back when I used to teach at the community fitness center there? Well in the christmas card she also sent me a clip from

errr.. I mean AQUA. Heheh...sorry 'bout that. This morning was really frustrating. It was my 2nd time teaching the 9:30am water aerobics class and I only had two repeat members from last Friday. (but I only have 4 last week anyway so I suppose 50

It's inevitable this time of year in gyms across America..group fitness class participation starts to dwindle. Too much going on. Parties, kid functions, family, food, decorations..you name it. Working out always seems to get pushed to the back b

Do you people know about this thing? Do you have one in your gym? In all my days I've never seen this particular piece of cardio equipment and although kinda high on the 'dorky' factor while doing it, that thang has some serious

I don't know what it is, every since I moved this summer I've felt totally "off" in the yoga department. Partly it's because I didn't pick up another yoga class to teach until October rolled around, and partly because I'

renewed my blog-city subscription today for another year. Not sure why, could have gone the free route but then all of my photos would disappear. Sometimes it does get a little confusing for me, why I keep this blog going anyway but I'm sure ever
