It started hailing and there has been thunder, lightening, sleet, hail, and we'll see what goes on tomorrow! I haven't been as good at keeping my blog up as i hoped to but it's nice to at least sit down once a week and vent or write a long blog! My hubby has put himself on a diet and lost almost 20lbs I am soooo proud of him......BUT..... I work out daily sometimes numerous hours and can't lose a dang pound. I lost 11 and since added a ballet class i have put more weight on which I hope is muscle and am sure it is but SERIOUSLY wh do men get the blessing to dropp weight like they do and us women who worry and obsess about it have a billion times harder. He stopped drinking pop, alcohol, and sugar and boom it's gone. I think i need to stop obsessing over it and be happy for him and happy that i'm back to doing what i love and that is dancing! How many people can say their dream in life was to dance and because of blowing out my knee i had to stop and couldn't follow my dreams. Now 10 years later after being diagnosed with RA and fibromyalgia I am once again doing what i love! No i can't make up those years or ever be good like i was but i can do it an dthats what matters to me!!!!!!!!!
I love my husband by the way he is the most amazing man in the world!!! He went to the store today, helped me finish the laundry, cooked some food in case we lost power, and gave the puppies a bath!!!! He was soooo sweet and thoughtful!! I'm about to hit the sack b/c unlike everyone else in the world who will be home in the warm houses with their loved ones............... I WILL BE AT WORK!!!!

Exhausted
I haven't posted this week due to ... guess.... EXHAUSTION!!!! Monday i was off work and my wonderful husband took me to eat and then to the warren theater where we watched not one but two movies!! We watched the figher which was really really good and kinda for the hubby and then we watched BLACK SWAN! Yes my new fav movie. We then came home and cuddled it was pure relaxation and a wonderful breath i was hoping to show how wonderful my week would be.... then i returned to work!
I went to work on tuesday we had court it went well and was quick so I went to a ballet class from THE ONE AND ONLY Yulia she is a ballerina who studied in russia and when i mean studdied she lived breathed, ate, slept, at an academy learning ballet and her "elective classes" were belly dancing, and ballroom! I haven't taken a ballet class since I was 17 even though i was still dancing after my knee surgery i couldn't do pointe so i just focused on other forms of dance like contemporary, lyrical, pom and hip hop. I taught ballet, jazz, pom, tap, until i was 19 and then.......... no dancing except at the club for me in yes almost 10 years. So not only am i returning to dance an old out of shape woman i am returning to a nationally recognized phenominal ballet teacher .... ok the point is I was surprised at how much my body had remember and could do!! Until i woke up the next morning and thought what in the hell am i thinking i couldn't walk move haha
So that next day in agonizing pain in all muscles i had the stomach flu so i was sick both ends and my body was convulsing using and contracting all of the sore muscles........ Ok this blog is ending up a ohhh poor me session which it wasn't meant to be thats why i had waited to blog........ oh well!!!
Thursday was a great day at work saw all clients and got to really help a client in need this is why i do what i do!! I went to Maren's zumba class... our motto is ZUMBA IS THE CURE FOR EVERYTHING!! This is true for stress, anger, frustration, to sweat, smile, listen to music, spend time with friends, clear your mind...........but it does not CURE THE DAY AFTER STOMACH FLU!!! it actually increases naseua and the feeling of hurling immediatly!!
Today "friday" I worked, finished the docket for court, met with the judge, met with clients, got my oil changed, renewed my license.............and had THE BEST ZUMBA CLASS I HAVE TAUGHT IN FOREVER. WE decided to put it on shuffle so noone know what was coming next and when i forget something i played it off using those olllllllddddd teacher skills.... if i step back in line then you do however many counts of your favorite moves or we would just shake it down !! that helped all the steam from the week goooo away!!!
We started a new diet today it's really just smaller portions and no pasta, bread, or sugars! I couldn't have lunch with art so i was curious if he would cheat but he cooked meat and had a salad !!!!! The man even ate an apple for breakfast and an orange for a snack (who snatched my husband he doesn't eat fruit)!!! I had to stay and teach the younger kids hip hop class and when i came home my sexy loving wonderful hubby had tilapia cooked on the grill it was the best he has ever cooked!! We also had salad and lots and lots of WATER!!!
Tomorrow I have ballet at 9, lyrical at 11, a meeting at 2 and teaching zumba at 6 so hopefully I can relax on sunday and find motivation to get everything i need to get done at work on monday to get caught up!!
OHHHH YA AND SOOOO I HAVE LOST 9LBS THE PAST TWO WEEKS!!!!!!!! EVEN WITH NOT GOING TO BOOTCAMP THIS WEEK DUE TO KATIE AND I BEING SICK DIFF DAYS AND THE WEATHER!!!!!!!! MY GOAL IS 125 ORRRR sexy arms, no more back fat so if i do not lose anymore weight but have a rockin body then i'm happy a number doesn't mean success but is an extra burst of power motivation for the next week of working out numerous times a day and eating only healthy food!

Week 2
This past week I worked out at 5:00 two days at bootcamp monday and wednesday. I took zumba monday, tuesday, thursday night; taught zumba twice on friday night, one class saturday night; and then......I went to the masquerade salsa ball at julias that night. we danced for hours there!!! Got home late saturday night but could not sleep i laid in bed trying to sleep until 6 am and then finally got up. It wasn't one of those nights where you think you didn't sleep and you were just waking up alot i mean i didn't even close my eyes. I got up called Vick i knew she would be awake and it is always great to talk to her. I then called my mom i was having a hard time emotional about Art and I not getting to spend alot of time together lately. We blamed it on school for awhile then when i finished i thought it would just magically go back to years before of dates and such. Yes, this was silly of me to think that new routines would return to old happy habits of romance. We are amazing honestly just miss the special moments we would make for just the two of us. I have been trying to share with him what i mean about date nights and finally today it clicked with the both of us we need to just put eachother first and then family, friends, work. We have been having football parties, and gatherings for everyone to enjoy and then focus on hosting all night and then cuddle instead of what we both enjoy which is making eachother happy first. I Can't believe we met three years ago it seems like yesterday!! WE went to dinner tonight and laughed and talked about every detail of those years ago how he saw me on his brothers birthday and they were trying to talk him into introducing himself but by the time he got the courage we had left. A few days later my friend LIz and I went to grab dinner and art his brother and two best friends were there. We laughed and talked all night and made plans to go to a concert that saturday and it's history from there we were inseperable and i can honestly say it was love at first sight!!!!!!
So back to the point of my blog i lost 6lbs this week more than likely its water weight i stopped drinking pop and have been working out. I can't wait to keep up this bootcamp and i hope to make it everyday this week and workout at night too!! I know 2 out of 5 days for 5 am workouts was not my goal ... i hoped for all 5 but i did change my routine and worked out more than i have in years soooo this week my goal is yet again 5 and I WILL workout everyday at least once!! I'm going to get to bed since it is 1:00am and i need to be up and ready by 4:45. Love all of you and will continue my updates...

My first post
It is the begining of a new year so I decided I would begin a blog! My goal is to keep weekly updates on our life and what we are are up to and planning!! Art and I are excited to begin a new chapter in our lives together. We met three years ago this month; everyday has been an exciting adventure. We love to travel which we have road tripped to chicago twice, Playa del Carmen (beautiful resort so romantic and I had never been in the ocean before!), we recently went to Las Vegas and these are the fun trips we have been on. Every day I wake up to the love of my life and can't wait for the daily adventures we go through together. There have been difficult times of loss in 2010 my grandfather, godmother, and dear friend, but I am blessed my family, hubby, and friends are my rock. I graduated with my masters a few weeks ago this was one of my biggest dreams and even when I was stressed and not the nicest person I had the biggest team of encouragers who I owe this accomplishment to.
Now 2011 our goals are to focus on health with changing our eating habits ( I have to learn to cook and not pick up take out/ fast food everyday for EVERY MEAL) We don't want to set a resolution to lose weight or diet but make a committment to live a healthy happy life! I am going to begin a "bootcamp" tomorrow very different from most it's P90X, Zumba, Turbo Kick, Pilates, Hip Hop Hustle, Stomp Aerobics, Piloxing. I am a night owl and the workout starts at 5:30 which means i need to be up dressed and out the dorr at 5:30 sooo please pray hehe!!!! More updates tomorrow!!!
Love THE KINGS kass and artie
