April 30, 2008

When I read Debbie’s blog post recently about Zumba, I knew the name sounded familiar. Sure enough, I had seen it on the class schedule at the Y. So tonight, I decided to check out what all the fervor was about.

Day 132 – End of My Winning Streak

April 25, 2008

Today really WAS bananas! I had company over most of the day and my 100% accountability streak came to a screeching halt.
