My Life as a Fitness Instructor
Wow! Who would’ve thought I would one day be an honest-to-goodness fitness instructor. Certified, Licensed and Professionally employed! Certainly not growing up,! I was the “chubby” sister always getting a little bit of, well, no other way to put it but, grief from my parents (especially my mom) about my junk food addiction and lack of exercise. I always tried to go to the gym but I either went in spurts or just gave up all together. I know I’ve mentioned before how I got inspired by my good friend, Julie, and the creators of the formats that I now teach, Chalene Johnson for Turbo Kick® and Beto Perez for Zumba®, as well as a certain Taiwanese celebrity that I admire but now that my life revolves around fitness I am looking at more ways to improve myself and my classes. I’ve finally found my passion! And it turns out that it’s not a bad one at all! Read more
Tea and Fitness
I must warn you that this is a long post!
When I started my “fitness venture”, as I like to call it, I looked into all the possibilities on how to get healthy, fit and loose the excess weight. After a lot of investigating I finally found something that works for me so, I now want to give my completely-biased-not-based-on-scientific-fact-or-studies-but-on-personal-experience account of my relationship with tea and how it helped me lose weight and get healthy. Before I go on I want to let you all know, in case you didn’t already, that I am not a healthcare professional, physician nor dietician, this is just me wanting to share my experience with the world and maybe helping someone else discover tea and help give them a boost to a healthy lifestyle. Ok? Ok!

I’ve also been spending a lot of time dancing. I was dancing 4 hours in a row twice a week! I was practicing for a dance performance and really wanted it to be perfect. The costumes that the girls chose for this performance where so much more revealing than anything I’ve ever worn in public. Talk about a motivator for exercising and eating well! 
I learned about the performance in early April when I joined the ladies dance group and 2 weeks later I found out about the costumes so, I did what any one would do and kicked my healthy routine up a notch. The first performance was two weeks ago and, even though I haven’t been as diligent in my routine lately I still was able to break through my plateau! I wanted to share some of my tools with everyone, just in case you were looking to kick things up a notch…
Healthy Lifestyle
I debated for a while whether or not to start blogging about fitness and health. Then I realized that good food and fitness, at least for me, have to go hand in hand. I am not blessed with a lightning fast metabolism and basically whatever I put in my mouth will end up on my thighs unless I do something about it. So here is the first entry on my healthy lifestyle… Read more
