How Much Sugar?

We had an early birthday party for Leah with Grandma and Grandpa Fisher before they headed down to Arizona for the winter. Leah didn't want a cake at this party because she knew she was getting a big cake at her friend party and she didn't want to over do it. So Grandma and Grandpa got creative and came up with the idea of 'bobbing for gummy bears' for dessert instead. Leah loved it but our very health conscious daughter was very concerned about how much sugar there was in the dessert.

Fall Fitness Jam

One of the things that I love to do is teach classes at the gym. I have been very fortunate to have the opportunity to teach a variety of classes like cardio kickbox, BOSU, Max, Maxed Out, Cross Training and a variety of other classes. In October our gym put on a Fall Fitness Jam where a number of instructors had 15 minutes to teach a segment from one of their classes. The jam went on for 2 hours and had over 60 participants. Even though I was still recovering from a broken ankle I was able to participate. We were exhausted by the end but we had a fantastic time!

Unfortunately Patrick doesn't get to see me teach very often so when we do fitness jams on Saturdays he likes to come and participate whenever he can. I love having him there to support me but on this particular day I decided to use him to my advantage. I was teaching a kickboxing segment and seeing as he is an amazing kickboxer in phenomenal shape, I decided to call him up in front to show off his skills. I think I surprised him a bit but he was a good sport...what a great guy he is!
