Life with Helen

I can't help but feel that this is the calm before the storm. It's not even noon and I've already crossed everything off of my To-Do List for the day. I've been looking for things to do for about an hour. The office is eerily quiet with only 3 of us in the entire building. The phones aren't ringing, I'm not getting any e-mails. I'm not really complaining, but I know this afternoon is going to be painfully boring. Work isn't the only place that I'm feeling the calm. Our Zumba classes have been so dead the past couple of weeks. I know they will pick up fast after New Years because of all the weight loss resolutions, and I can't wait! We will be starting 2012 off with a bang! Super excited for the new Zumba stuff that is to come! I posted a blog last year, and haven't posted many since, about my New Year resolutions. In 2011 I lost over 40 pounds, and I'm looking to lose another 50-60 in 2012. I tried to keep it in control over Thanksgivin...

Holy Moly! It's been since APRIL! I have got to keep up with this thing more! Well, obviously a lot has happened in 7 months. My sister and Adam got married on October 8th, and it was absolutely perfect! Everything was beautiful! We really loved the Power Park employees, and they did an amazing job! I became a Zumba instructor in August! Megan now has a substitute, and can therefore have a life! lol I just love the whole environment and all of the friendships that I've made at Snap. The classes are growing, and more and more people are getting interested! It's so exciting! I've lost 40 pounds and it's mostly from Zumba, but I'm planning to lose a lot more! Stay tuned! Helen RETIRED December 2nd! This is bittersweet. My blog is now almost pointless because the Helen stories will be scarce. I loved working with my mom, but when I was little I would have killed to have a stay-at-home mom! If she starts cooking for me all the time I may never ...

The title has nothing to do with this blog. It's just starting to get on my nerves because now I find myself typing "Zumba" all the time. May I just say, YAY ZUMBA. I have discovered my new way of getting wedding skinny! Well, maybe not skinny, but smaller than I am now. At the end of the workout, we were stretching and my sweat dripped on the floor infront of me when i bent over. THAT is a good workout to me! (Megan Hannah, Snap Fitness, Winfield, WV, 7:00 T & Th, 10:00 Sat! <- thats my little advertising plug because I love this place so much, as if it's not obvious by looking at my facebook and twitter lol) Anywho, I was always a little skeptical about Zumba. I mean, it's been around for a few years and I just tried it for the first time yesterday! I always thought that I wouldn't like group classes, and I also thought that I wouldn't like jirating around like that without a drink (or ten, lol). Turns out that it isn't so bad, since the old...

OH MY GOODNESS! It's been awhile. Too long. Where to begin? Adam proposed to Tara! I've taken on the role of Maid of Honor EXTRAORDINAIRE/Wedding Planner. So far they're getting married on October 8, 2011 at power park in Charleston, WV. The colors are black, white, and silver. We actually have already accomplished a lot of the main things. We have the ceremony and reception venue in one! Fun and convenient, yet thrifty! ;) The bridesmaid dresses are picked out and ready to order. Tara's wedding gown is currently hanging in her room. Hair and make-up by none other than Miss Morgan Ross. Things are coming together QUITE nicely, if I do say so myself! I thought this was going to be miserable, but the bride-to-be is actually liking my ideas! As far as the new year resolutions go, the wedding has definitely lit a fire under me ars! I joined Snap Fitness in Winfield, and I've been trying to go everyday, but sometimes there just aren't enough hours. Although it is...
