A few weeks ago in my 100-level nutrition class (completely full of Seniors), our teacher brought in a Zumba instructor to talk about Dance & Nutrition. Halfway through class, she asked us to clear the desks……

Excuse me? …… We’re all standing there in jeans and t-shirts and not sneakers, and she wants us to actually DO Zumba in class? I didn’t plan for this.

Well, to be honest I had a blast. Granted, half of the class decided they were too cool to dance Zumba in class and sat out with their arms crossed, but I really don’t care about looking silly in class so I joined right in, barefoot and jeans rolled up.

Last night I took another (full) Zumba class (wearing exercise clothes) and I must say I had so much fun. I am COMPLETELY uncoordinated when it comes to Latin dance (let’s be real… any dance) but the energy in a Zumba class is unbeatable.

Check out the link at the top of the post and find a Zumba class near you! :)

So I started a blog…

Hello world.

So after long term consideration, I decided to create a blog. Not so I can banter non-stop about the daily goings-on of my life (I’m really not that interesting), but just so when something catches my interest, inspires me, or just gets stuck in my head (i.e. the title of the blog) that there is a place for my thoughts to go, instead of off into la-la-land as they normally do.

Hope you enjoy :)
