  • :Pokes head in: Re-Hi everyone! (update if anyone cares! :p)

    Wow! Things sure look/feel different around here.

    Ya know, a girl goes and gets busy for a little bit and y'all change things up on her!



    I've missed you guys! Sat down at the puter this morning and it dawned on me how long it's been since I checked in on some of my most favorite people on the planet.

    I've been working my tail off, doing a whole lot of and tail-chasing, working three jobs (yes..three!), managing the 4 kids, hubby, the two dogs, and we have two new additions to the family as well - two bearded dragons!

    Anyway, I'm maintaining just fine, though I fluctuate up and down about 5-6lbs. Feel great, am healthy as a horse, and am enjoying the heck out of teaching the Jazzercise classes!

    I just wanted to pop in, say hi, and a few of ya cuz I you!

    See ya around!

      Hi Brook

      I was only thinking about you the other day when a friend mentioned she was thinking of joining a Jazzercise class here in UK!!

      It is good to hear things are going well with you and yours
      Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
      Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!

          Hey Brook, I just checked in on your Random Thoughts! How are the kids doing? Especially S? You look terrific. Maybe you could come to China and do a Jazzercise world tour???

                  Heh!



                  It's so good to see you all!!!

                  Yep- Jazzercise is a world wide thing! Look for it and if you get an opportunity, check it out. It's *so* not what I thought it was going to be. No one there wears leg warmers, g-string leotards and there's no Olivia Newton John music. I swear! LOL

                  Thank you so much for the warm welcome back! I've been away too long and I really have missed y'all.

                              Good for you!

                              Give them a call. Most of the class owners will let you come check out the first class for free, but not all. Can't hurt to call and ask though and then you'll know if it's up your alley or not. No harm, no foul - and no commitment.

                              I taught an express class this morning - 30 minutes in and out the door.

                              My set this morning was:
                              Charmain Neville (Mardi Gras)
                              The Chemical Brothers (Do It Again)
                              Pendulum (Granite)
                              Airborne (Runnin' Wild)
                              Rachel Panay (Georgie Porgie's Edit- It's Got To Be Love)
                              Hellogoodbye (The Jimmy Pop Remix- All Of Your Love)
                              Carlos Santana (ft JLO and Baby Bash- This Boy's Fire)
                              Deborah Cox (Destination Moon)

                              When I teach a regular format class (55-65 minutes), I put a lot more hip-hop in it, because I like it. , but that was my express class this morning and we were when we left!

                              Really- go check it out. I'd be really interested to hear what you think of it
