Last nights workout was so much fun, I really worked up such a sweat I could not do the entire thing. I lasted 45 minutes, and used the toning sticks which weigh about 2lbs.

I managed to get in lots of protein which made it hard for my last snack but I got that in at 8.30 just before my shower. Then I got watching another LWN show on Alaska and Maui, both so beautiful I wish I was there!

Workout Zumba Toning

Last night I got home, and started cleaning the Fitness Studio. I had the last 2 nights off and since I had till 6.30 it gave me time to get everything spotless.

I'm not counting my cleaning as a workout, but I did work up a frantic sweat vacuuming the curtains and moving all the fitness equipment. *sheesh I have a lot of weights and toys lol!

Zumba Toning was great, I love the disco feel of this training and the moves are simple and short. I like that so you can add more of your own style.

Plan of Action Zumba ST


Boy is it HOT in St. Louis, and everywhere! Poor OK and TX need rain for the livestock so bad. *sigh

I NEED A POOL :-)

My radio station said they saw this sign on a church since its been over 100 here in STL.......
"Satin called, he wants his weather back" I just thought it was great! And if you think its hot now and you don't know Jesus as your savior, time to think about giving your heart to the Lord.

A few weeks ago, when I went to Branson I bought these super cute dress capri pants for just $9 and they are already too big :-(
I think I am losing my glutes, and not my gut! So not good, but I am going to stick with the program and work through with more glute Yoga moves till the end of the month.

Last night finished 30 minutes of Zumba Toning and did another 15 minutes of ST.

Workout - Zumba Toning 3lb db w/Weight training
Time of workout - 45
Cals burned = 193

Zumba Toning w/3lb db
Warm up 5 min
30 min + 5 min cool down

TRX push ups - 10
TRX pull ups - 10
TRX squat w/back row - 20
Over head db press with lunge 2 way - 30
Chair squat w/ball - 20
Squat w/chest press 8lb db - 20

I found a super easy way to add fruit to your oats if you don't want to prep anything. Dole makes a "natural" fruit cup, all you do is drain and rinse out all the juice and poof a sprinkle of cinnamon or a tbs of pb and you are good to go.

I love easy :-)

This is the great scarf my client brought me back from Japan, I looooove it and its one of my favorite colors Orange!

My Wednesday night client for Zumba Toning, and good friend Diane, she is such a doll!



I totally wanted to run last night after training, but felt it would be too much cardio in one day it was so nice out perfect temps. Looking at my numbers I am glad I didn't.

My workout yesterday and meals, which were not what I planned for the day. Starting out forgetting my lunch and then doing a shorter Zumba Toning session (20 min less) but all in all it was a great day.

Diane used 2lb db I used 3lb db and it was a pure sweat fest!

Time = 35 min + 40 = 75 min
Cals burned = 342

Sun salutation

Cooking and Zumba Toning


Last night my girlfriend Diane got back from Chicago and came over for Zumba Toning.

We had a great 30 minute session and worked up quite a sweat. I love Zumba Toning over regular Zumba since you get less dance and more slow controlled movements which I love. Plus it helps me get better at regular Zumba doing the moves slower.....Love Zumba! (ok, I feel so sexy doing it)

Afterwards I made us dinner, I had some things prepped before she got there to save time such as cut up the squash and make the salad and marinate the chicken.

Oh it was so D-lish but I did not take pictures due to way to much chit chat!

Chicken basted with Dove chocolate fig balsamic vinaigrette with sautéed yellow squash with no salt seasoning and a spinach salad with fresh raspberries, crasins and walnuts, slivered almonds and a dash of parm cheese with Hendrickson dressing.

Dessert was 1/2 Quest brownie bar (the new Quest flavor I give a 10 for I will be doing a review with pics on the 3 new flavors) cut in tiny squares, heated in micro then a sprinkle of Hershey syrup and topped with 5 raspberries.

It was a great time and I hope to load some other pictures tonight, then practice guitar.

MISSION BIKINI - 9 Days eek!

I can't believe I have less then 10 days and I don't feel at all ready, mainly because I had pizza last night. (which I am counting as carb cycling lol)

Really, it was not as bad as my numbers show!?.

Why? Because it was a Papa Murphys and they are like subway only with pizza and then you go home and bake it.....D-LISH! It is very fresh and I got the Thia chicken D-lite pizza and it has lots of cucumbers and olive oil and good stuff on it.

www.papamurphys.com/Home

It is kind like the Herb Chicken Mediterranean but NOT
www.papamurphys.com/pdf/Nutrition_Info.pdf


Insert problem = can't find it in the cal ticker either so I am stuck with a veggie thin crust pizza hut pizza or thats how I logged it.

Plus bonus round on keeping the metabolism high doing 3 workouts for the day, GO T.

My girlfriend brought me tons of fun things from the Susan Komen race over the weekend she wanted to share with me, I took pics but of course no time to load. (yeah I know T. needs to get a mobil device)

One thing I love is a new tanning lotion for the girls trip and some coconut lotion all going with me woo woo.

On another note, I have been playing with the CLEAN EAT RECIPE BY TOSCA RENO "Take me away oatmeal". I had been making it with the mango and fresh coconut as the recipe calls but this week...........

Eek super fun d-lish used pineapple one day and peach the other = BAM "Take me away oatmeal to Hawaii or where ever peaches are from" lol.

I say try it you will love it!
Its just 1/2 c oats
1/2 c water to cook oats
1 cup mango (I used Dole "natural cup" pineapple and peach and drained and rinsed = easy and fast since 1 cup makes your meal and I like them both the same yummo)
a sprinkle of walnuts and fresh coconut

Zumba Toning Certification Pic Blog

OK, its true I loved getting this certification. It brings 2 things together I really love dance and strength training.

With this type of workout it is more about "controlled resistance" with the morocco style 1.5 weights, not the actual weight, but YOU TOTALLY FEEL IT.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=qno0l3n4j_Q


So with that said, here are some pictures from the weekend......

Here is the place I had to go, its very nice and close to home = double plus

You break out in groups to create your dance moves, here is my group :-)

Melissa, nurse and certified trainer plus Zumba instructor (yeah like me) looooved her! She lives in Wentzville and is a pure natural

This is Trixie she has a dance background another great person, also working 2 jobs dancing and doing Zumba


Our trainer Melanie Guzman a tiny firecracker!


Group picture minus me because the only one the girl took for me did not take so I'm not in it. (*insert Murphy's law here)


Then it was time to celebrate...Zumba!


MISSION BIKINI = 12 DAYS
