Much of my day was very focused, I'm happy to say. I went to the 9 AM Zumba class and did the 10 AM Flex-It class. The Flex-It class is fairly easy for me, because I used to lift weights quite a bit. My aerobic capacity isn't great, so that type of exercise is usually harder for me. Still, I did both and although I didn't really wake up until about 10 minutes before Zumba was over, I kept up well in both classes.


Went from there to the health food shop and got a very healthy wrap with all kinds of veggies, sprouts, avocado, and spices in it. It was surprisingly filling even though it was just half of what you'd get in a fast food place. Made a trip to Target and browsed for some things for Dad, then ran in the grocery store briefly. I

Before I forget, I just got my first issue of Dr. Christiane Northrup's Newsletter.

I'm sorry the kittys you wanted got away from you, but sure wish you could get your kitties here! Mom had an orange-and-white and a black tabby show up at her house when they were tiny a couple months ago. She does NOT need more cats, but just made appts. to have them spayed and neutered. She named them Ginger and Cinder.


We had such a good set at Zumba today that I'd like to get a list of the songs from Christine to share with you. We had two visiting instructors from across the river in Orange Park in class this morning and they said they wanted to steal her songs. I don't know the names of them, but one says "gasolino" (I think) a

My Friday was a busy one. Headed to the office yesterday and was extermely busy until I rolled out at 3:00. Our luncheon was just yummy but I ended up using all 17 points for sure. We had a deep dish eggplant parm pizza (pie was cut into 6's instead of 8's so it was a huge piece) then we had cake which was a Neopolian Cake........OMG! So for dinner it was vegtable soup, lol. Picked up Katie and took her to her riding lesson, what a mess. Her trainer yelled at her and the other rider so much that 45 minutes into her lesson Katie kept mouthing to me (glass window, can not hear each other) get me out now. I dismissed it but when she got off the horse and was walking around to cool him off she was crying. This is not the first time it has happened and it is becoming to frequent a thing. Her trainer is not happy there anymore, she has made no mistake to express how she feels. She has been feeling that way for a while, she has lots going on and I guess she is confused. But to keep taking it out on her students is not right. Katie and I discussed it on our way home and we decided to not go back. Not sure if this a permenant choice or temp but I called the barn and the owner picked up the phone. I basically told her what was going on and how I felt and she agreed. She did appoligize and she said Vickie has been loosing student left and right because of this. She asked if we want to switch to another trainer but I just feel ackward doing that since Vickie has been with Katie for over 5 years (Katie started with Vickie when Katie turned 8) now. I just could not face Vickie, but I am not sure if I want to give Katie a 6 to 8 week break with no lessons. Because our weather is so iffy we can not ride Daniel because that barn does not have an indoor ring. I am confused and I found I tossed and turned all night thinking about it. That was the way I ended my Friday, feeling wrung out and so I never went to the gym yesterday but there is always Saturday..................
