It’s about that time of year again—people are making resolutions and scrambling to stop from falling off that proverbial wagon in the first couple of weeks. My lovely girlfriend, Kayla Marie, and I have been working the Weight Watchers routine that I talked about last month in the post Spending Points. We’d lose a little, [...]

Most of you already know the story – when I started working out I had to swim because I couldn’t walk for more than 5 minutes or so without my feet going completely numb. You remember walking on blocks under your feet when you were in a kid? Yeah, it was like that. So I [...]
I’ve been losing (and sometimes gaining) weight for the last seven years. I did the diet & exercise thing on my own from December 2004 to August 2010. I did Take Shape for Life from April 2010 until last month. Now I’ve come full-circle back to the diet & exercise routine. This time Kayla and [...]

A few weeks ago I led a few songs at a massive Zumba® Fitness event organized by Dawn Pack. The RSVP from Facebook put the attendance somewhere around 150 but I think we wound up with about 250 folks by the time it was all done. Great turnout, awesome instructors, and just a really great [...]
Auditions are crazy things. It’s like a job interview with more moving parts. I was asked to come audition for a position subbing Zumba® Fitness classes at a local community center. Slam dunk, right? I teach with other instructors, do numbers at benefits, help other folks with their choreography. I got this. I printed out [...]
