Coming up..

Almost a year has passed since I decided to buy Curves. What alot of changes there have been in this past year. How much our club has grown and what a lot of fun we have had. I just got back from the weekend in Philly completing a Zumba Fitness workshop. Curves and Zumba have teamed up to offer the Curves Circuit with Zumba Fitness and I was not able to find an instructor. So went to learn it and be able to teach it myself. The class was intense, about 7 hours of Zumba Fitness/Dance and sitting on a hard wood floor in between. I passed and am now authorized to teach Zumba, once the instructor gets me registered on the Zin site I will be able to get on their and see what I need to do to get authorized for the circuit, I understand that is another class, but on line. Then comes the choreography and music. I will need to create play lists and put the dance steps together with it, this should be interesting. Will take some time I am sure and in the meantime need to keep practicing my own moves to make it better and more fun.

I am glad to have that workshop in and glad that Heidi went with me, about 65 of us there and I would have been really nervous without her. She made it more fun and easier.

Happy New Year!

I love firsts, always have! First days of new Months are always great, it gives you so much to look forward to. It always feels like new beginnings, first days of the New Year are even better. A whole, clean, fresh new year. things that went wrong in the past year are now totally behind us, we have a fresh, clean new slate to write on. Kind of like new notebooks, new journals. We can start clean and fresh. change what we don't like and start over.

I love starting the new year with a clean house and being organized, this year that is even more important, now that I am a business owner. I have so many goals for the business and for myself. I need to help the ladies get healthy and fit, need to help them lose weight. I need to increase our membership and think that Zumba will help with that. I need to lose the belly fat myself, need to be a great example for my ladies.

I need to get off my butt and get moving, its early, 7:09 am on New Years Day, I need to get in my workout. didn't do any yesterday and my body is crying out for some real movement.

Happy new Year everyone!

In Memory

I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean.
She is an object of beauty and strength. I stand and watch her until at length she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other.
Then someone at my side says: “There, she is gone!””Gone where?”Gone from my sight.
That is all. She is just as large in mast and hull and spar as she was when she left my side and she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port.
Her diminished size is in me, not in her. And just at the moment when someone at my side says: “There, she is gone!” there are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices ready to take up the glad shout: ‘Here she comes!”
And that is dying.
Henry Van Dyke

Don't Quit

When things go wrong as they sometimes will. When the road you're trudging seems all uphill. When funds are low and the debts are high. And you want to smile, but you have to sigh. When care is pressing you down a bit. Rest, if you must, but don't you quit Life is queer with its twists and turns. As everyone of us sometimes learns. And many a failure turns about When he might have won had he stuck it out: Don't give up though the pace seems slow- you may succeed with another blow. Success is failure turned inside out- The silver tint of the clouds of doubt. And you never can tell how close you are. It may be near when it seems so far: So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit- It's when things seem worst that you must not QUIT Author unknown
