Martha Stewart has an entire line of fox (and other wildlife) toys at Petsmart. This seems important.
I had one of those awful “I’m back in college” dreams last night…
But it was all good because one of my professors was Robert Downey Jr. and he helped me score free toppings on my frozen yogurt in the school cafeteria.
You had me at “a family’s pet wolf.”
What a gorgeous creature. But be honest, you thought “OMG HE’S GONNA EAT HER!!!!!!” for a split second too.

This is a routine we do with Shalen (Favorite Zumba instructor #4! lol) on Wednesday evenings.
It sums up the Zumba philosophy: Shake it out! Shake shake shake shake it out!
;)
Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it. Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. So I do not run aimlessly; I do not box as one beating the air. But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified. (1 Corinthians 9:24-27 ESV)

Who knew Zumba could still be fun at 5:15am?
Not this girl!
After our successful trip to Body Blitz yesterday, my workout buddy Samantha said she’d do Zumba at 5:15 this morning if I would. And I said I would if she would.
So we did!
I’ve always said “I can’t summon enough ‘happy’ to Zumba that early in the morning” and I truly believed that. But it turned out to be just as almost as fun as it usually is. It did take me longer to warm up…and I felt dehydrated for the first 1/2 of the class…but other than that it was good. And luckily it’s Maryanne’s class and I’ve got all her routines down pat, so there wasn’t too much thinking involved. ;)
I was amazed and impressed with how many Zumba regulars were there! Lot’s of people that I see there in the evenings and on weekends. They were all like “what are you doing up this early?” and “Good morning! Good to see you!” That made it more fun.
Jeremy asked me if my morning Zumba today was replacing my normal Wednesday evening class.
Um, no! I’m ADDING workouts, not replacing them. :)
(Now if only my scale would get that message. I’m up 2lbs from last week! WHAT THE HECK?!?!? I easily burned 1500 calories on Sunday, have added extra workouts this week and my eating has been on track! This better be a fluke. *pout*)
True Confession Tuesday
LOL! This isn’t the reason for dressing the way I do…but most of my wardrobe would be suitable for running for my life. ;)
(And I always think “Aw man! Not THOSE SHOES!” when girls are trying to run through cobblestone streets wearing stilettos.)
Every time I get dressed, I think about how my outfit will serve me in the event of a zombie attack/Cloverfield monster/nuclear apocalypse.
Which is why, more often than not, I choose flats over heels. You just never know when you’re going to need to run for your life.

How to create snack time magic:
- Take a low fat, single serving bottle of chocolate milk.
- Place in freezer.
- Remove after an hour or two and give it a good shake.
- Try to control the audible “MMMMMM!!!” as your taste buds are convinced you are drinking a chocolate milk shake.
160 calories of pure joy.
And now, 5 minutes later, Kristen Bell and I should be besties.
SHE HAD A HUNGER GAMES BIRTHDAY PARTY!
(Thank you, runbrandirun, for this very important information.)
Up until this point I’ve been completely neutral about Kristen Bell.
Now? I LOVE HER!!!!!
(I will have a similar reaction someday when Jeremy surprises me with my first pet fox. I’ll make sure he videotapes it to share with all of you.)
Adorable Celebrity Being Adorable of the Day: In honor of her 31st birthday, Kristen Bell’s boyfriend, Dax Shepard, arranged for her to meet a sloth in person for the very first time.
It was a tearful experience to say the least.

This is a routine we’ve been doing in Janefer’s Zumba class on Monday nights.
Although, I will be the first to admit that this entire group is a bunch of ROCK STARS and they put us to shame. Please tell me they’re like a professional dance crew or something, for real. They should all be teaching their own class.
*EDIT: Just read that their studio is in Brazil. Explains so much! That wiggle is in THEIR BLOOD!!!! :)
Look at all the delicious fruit!!

I think Step In Time would make a good Zumba routine. I mean, we do half those moves anyway.
*LIGHTBULB MOMENT* THERE SHOULD BE DISNEY ZUMBA!!!!!
