This week has been such a whirlwind but in a totally awesome way, of course! I think I averaged coming home Tuesday – Thursday after 10 pm each night! Phew! That’s right…I left my house around 8:30 am…and got home nearly 14 hours later. Busy means good, though. I have lots of fun stuff ahead.
And as for the fun this past week, here’s what you missed…
I taught Zumba three days in a row this week! I subbed a class for another instructor who is on vacay. That’s a whole-lotta-Zumba, peeps! It was so fun, though. I had special guests show up to my Thursday class – my very first participants. As in, they were there the very first time I taught a whole class by myself. They were regulars for awhile but have had some personal stuff keeping them from class. I was SO excited to see them again, though! They made my day!

After Zumba on Wednesday, fellow instructor Sarah and I met up with bloggie friends Katy and Caitlin for froyo!

And then on Thursday, after Zumba, I ran into Caitlin again (along with two of my fabulous new participants – hello Carmen and Katie!) at the Ben Does Life event. I also had the pleasure of meeting the very cool Ben of Ben Does Life.
If you haven’t seen his inspirational video (about his 120 lb weight loss), here it is:
This is a MUST watch! 😉
And since I haven’t shared any grocery shopping photos in awhile…here’s what I got at Trader Joe’s yesterday: yerba mate tea, Larabars, Soy corn dogs, feta cheese, vegetable broth, vanilla soy milk, cannellini beans, garbanzo beans, honey and a special ingredient – chocolate cookies!
I have a bunch of cookies and cream themed recipes in mind…be on the look out for those! 😉
I also got spinach, Canadian bacon, raspberries, organic hot dogs, baking chocolate, chocolate chips, yogurt, and brussels sprouts.
And in the eating arena, here’s what I had Friday night: a new recipe to hide vegetable servings – Potato-Cauliflower mash with fresh herbs. (nom!)
Salad
Tri-tip with a new dry rub recipe (perfect for when you have steak but nothing to go with it, sauce/toppings-wise).
And have you seen one of Bailey’s best begging tricks? It’s hard to not give him a bite of steak when he looks this cute. 😆
Love that pic of Bailey! So cute! 🙂
Thanks for sharing the video. Really makes you want to get up and do something.
Blessings

I want to try Zumba! Is it just dancing?
It’s dance-inspired fitness! So, it’s a workout, but you pretty much do just dance the whole time! It’s so fun! You should try it!
I’ve yet to try Zumba, but I have a friend who is addicted!!
Looks like we shop at the same store! I just purchased my first Larabars yesterday, glad to see you recommend
Thanks for the shout-out Diana! Your class was a blast, I can’t wait to go again!
Thanks again for coming! Hope to see you soon. And hopefully I’m back from my injury soon! Have a great week 🙂
