Blogging has definitely taken the back burner in my life recently. I've been consumed with parenting, teaching, housekeeping, and Facebook. I've actually recently deleted my 'other' blog and now I will just maintain my fitness one. If you're reading this and want to keep in touch, check here or catch up with me on Facebook.
Anyhoo...
Lots has been happening. I'm crazy for Zumba right now, and so are the members at Menifee Valley Athletic Club. We're going to be adding another Zumba to the schedule, starting in February. (See sidebar.) It's going great. I love teaching and interacting with great people.
I also just got certified to teach Spinning. I've kind of been slacking a little since the certification and haven't even gotten on a bike since. But my goal is to Spin at least once, hopefully twice, a week. I need to get stronger on the bike so that I can feel confident teaching.
Another goal of mine is to run more. Running is going to slim me down in the areas that I need slimming down in. My hips and thighs have always been my biggest problem area. I really want to incorporate more weight lifting as well. It's frustrating because it's hard to fit everything in when I'm teaching as much as I am. I'm not complaining though, since I do love my classes right now and I feel healthy, strong, and not tired, so that's good. In fact, I finally got on the TM today and did some hills and sprints. It was a good run.
Healthy eating is something that we're incorporating more of at our house too. Protein, healthy carbs, and vegetables for breakfast and lunch. Protein and vegetable for dinner. I'm trying to eat more often, with smaller portions. I have struggles, but I feel like I'm making positive changes that influence my family every day. That's a good feeling.
One woman said to me yesterday after Zumba class, "I joined this gym because of you." That was one of the best compliements I've ever received as an instructor.

Amy, You are an inspiration to everyone. Once I get my stinking plantar faciitis under control, zumba sounds like fun. Right now I'm just hop-a-long shawna!
