NoJoMo #17 Burnt......

Burnt out..... Work has me feeling this way..... I have a few posts that I didn't publish last week, but blogging everyday has been the least of the things on my mind. Other than work, I'm doing well. I've subbed Zumba at the main YMCA 3 times in the last week. It has been so much fun! I'm finding joy in being able to get others moving and doing something healthy for themselves. I really think that is my true calling over all.....but how to do that and pay the bills? I can see it as supplemental income, but not my main source of income.

Oh well, this is all I have time for at the moment.

Until Later, Love ya,

NoJoMo #11 Wordless Wednesday - Veteran's Day 2009

NoJoMo #10 Tuesday is better!

So after a terrible Monday, Tuesday was a better day. I slept until 6:45am when the work phone rang. Yes, I still wanted to throw it across the room, but the fact that I actually got some sleep and was getting ready to hit snooze on alarm clock make it better.

I subbed Zumba at the main YMCA in my town tonight and boy was I nervous! It's usually a pretty big class. The numbers didn't make me nervous, but the expectation did scare me. After all, they are use to their regular instructor and aren't use to having a sub at all. I was just so excited for the opportunity. Everyone seemed to like it. I got a lot of "good jobs" and "I had fun" at the end which made me smile. My only goal for each class is to make them sweat. So tonight I succeeded! We'll chalk this one up to a win! If I could teach Zumba, other group fitness classes, and train people each day of the week, I would! I love being able to inspire and help others to be active. I'm truly thankful for the ability to do so!


I better hit the bed. Tomorrow brings a lunch time walk/jog and practicing more Zumba songs for an upcoming Zumbathon to benefit a local middle school's Secret Santa program. I'm very excited about the event. And very glad I can donate my time to such a great cause.

NoJoMo #9 Monday Monday

Oh Monday was not on my side this week at all.... but when is it ever?! It started out at 1:45am Sunday night/Monday morning....Yup....The work phone almost got hurled across my bedroom at 1:45am when it awoke me from my slumber.

That call presented a problem that took me until 3:15am to fix. At that point my plans to get up and run before lunch were nixed. Serious. Can't I just sleep one full night people? Company X does not pay me enough for this crap.

My plan of attack for making sure this doesn't happen again... WIN THE LOTTERY! Wish me luck! LOL

Until Later, Love ya,

NoJoMo #8 The weekend is gone too soon....

Seriously..... It's Sunday night and I'm not ready for the weekend to be over. I just want one day that I can just sit around and do nothing.... just veg out....

Update on my fitness goals.... I have yet to run/jog/walk even a mile of my 35. I'm determined to do it though. I must. I have to get back on the swimming, biking, and especially running horse. April will be here before I know it! Let's do it TriDivas!

That's all I can get into type right now. I know, short, not a whole lot to say....

Until Later, Love ya,

NoJoMo #7 AFAA Certification Saturday

Today's agenda included the AFAA Group Fitness Certification. I have been trying to study for this, but my attention span of a small child with ADD during the week. After working all day and then hitting the gym, I just didn't have a great deal of focus.

The workshop was great. Very informative and pretty fun. It was a lot of information but understandable. There were only 6 people there, so everyone got plenty of attention.

Here's the part that stinks though. It takes 4-6 weeks to get the test results back! Geez! What ever happened to instant gratification?! Oh well, look forward to a big post if I pass! Look forward to not so big post if I have to retest! LOL

Until Later, Love ya,
