Cocoa, coffee and diet coke

Good Morning!

And happy Friday.

Or so they tell me.

Cocoa, coffee and diet coke are the last 3 things I've put in my mouth.  The cocoa is, of course, fat free (20 cal!)  Besides those things, I've had 1 apple and 1 greek yogurt (together about 130 cal)  And I've already taught 1 Zumba class, and have one more to go.  It's one of those days.

I am working on a cool thing for you guys.  I am going to put together a biggish compilation of ghost experiences.  Mine, and others.  If anyone reading this has any ghost experiences they'd like to see up on this blog, send it to me!  All comments have to be approved to show up here (I think!), so if you want to remain anonymous, just say so in the comment and I'll "deny" it after I copy down your story.  That way I'll have the info but your name won't be connected to it on here for all to see.

On this blog I have shared with you a few ghost encounters.  There are more to come.  

Also, I wrote this the other week.  It sounded like something out of Seventeen Magazine but I like it all the same. LOL.

Top 10 Reasons Why Zumba Is Good For You - NOT Related to Calories/Weigh! (written by me!)

1) It's fun! Zumba is a workout in disguise. By the time the hour has passed, you're stunned to find you're tired. That was a workout? What??

2) It builds confidence. There's no feeling in the world quite like mastering a particularly tricky Zumba step. That bubbly feeling rises up and explodes on your face in a smile. Just wait until you know the choreography better than the instructor does. You'll feel like a million bucks!

3) It improves your dance moves. Take Zumba to the clubs? Heck yes! Once you have begun to master the art of booty-shaking, there's no stopping you! Also you learn to pay close attention to rhythm - a very helpful thing in the nightclubs or dancing with your sweetheart.

4) You meet people. I've met some of my very best friends because of Zumba! If your instructor does something kooky, you can turn to the person next to you and have a good guffaw at yourselves trying to do the same. It's a good link.

5) You'll hear good music. Need some new tunes to jam out to? Zumba music is surprisingly catchy! Use SoundHound to name that song or just ask your instructor if one catches your ear. The beat and bass are great to blast while you zoom down the highway! Maybe you'll find a whole new kind of music you love!

6) It releases endorphins. Endorphins make you feel good. Enough said!

7) It's good for your heart. Zumba is great cardiovascular exercise. We all know that cardio helps keep your heart healthy. Also, Zumba can be done year round, so you don't have to worry about building up stamina to frolic in the summer sun - you'll already have it!

8)You can wear bright colors! You know that crazy shade of green that you love but would never wear out? Or that bright turquoise sports tank you love but are too shy to wear to the gym? Well unearth those garments, it's time to shine bright! ZumbaWear comes in all colors and shades. Don't be shy, stand out!

9) You'll learn about culture. A lot of the steps in Zumba are from traditional dances from cultures around the world. In doing research or talking with your instructor, you can find out a lot about a culture through their styles of dance. Some are pretty self-explanatory (machete, anyone?)

10) Dance for great causes! Zumba Fitness teams up with many different organizations to make a difference. The Great Calorie Drive lets you actually donate calories to help stop hunger. How awesome is that?? Together We Dance (to cure ALS) raises money to help find a cure for Lou Gehrig's disease. Be a part of something big! Help yourself and others, all while having a blast.

See you on the dance floor. XO 

Happy Memorial Day!!!
be safe. have fun. don't get too drunk.
