Hi there, I'm an assistant professor at a large state college and I can tell you that you are most certainly not alone! I find that most of my students think that attending class is optional, and I do participation and formative assessment questions nearly every class. Good luck!

I love zumba! I haven't done a dvd, but I've taken live classes and both times it was great fun. I did have moments when I felt like I had two left feet, but I noticed that most people just keep going. I don't feel like it is the most killer of cardio workouts, but the fun factor is high...

Beavs--too funny! You're right I am lucky--perhaps at the same level as someone who gets hit with bird droppings--so lucky! I have to confess that it really makes me laugh when I see people walk by my car and they cover their nose or scrunch up their face. You know what they say about the one...

No, I drove back by the site of the incident and saw the (gulp) remains. The strange part is at the time of the incident I did not see a skunk at all. The car in front of me ran over what appeared to be a box and I couldn't swerve fast enough so I went over it too, so I don't know if the skunk...

Okay, lucky me...I was on my way to teach a sculpting class at 6 AM and must have run over Pepe Le Peu's relative. Now my car stinks! I took it to the car wash immediately after my class and tried to spray it underneath, but I don't think it did any good. Do you think it will eventually go...

I thought it was complicated choreography too, and initially, I would get a little peeved with not understanding her cues and getting lost, but I am happy to report that this is now one of my favorites--mostly because of the challenging choreography. I had to do this one in pieces before doing...

I think the yellow stain is actually due to an aluminum salt found in deodorant. You might try soaking the area in vinegar, a weak acid, to see if you can displace the aluminum ions. No guarantees though--just using my chemistry skills. Good luck! Keli

Hey Reese, I went through something like this about a year ago, I got the flu and nothing healthy, namely vegetables, tasted good to me, thus began about a 10 lb weight gain. I knew it was happening, but I grew used to my bad eating habits. On a positive note, I kept doing my workouts, but then...

RE: Does anyone else Maybe wear a bell around your neck? I had a dream about taking a big, luscious bite of a chocolate cake once, and wouldn't you know my alarm went off right as I was about to put the fork in my mouth! I was soooo mad! Keli

RE: Bra Must be another one of Victoria's secrets. ;-) Keli

Do you have any bells on the tree? Because you know, every time a bell rings an angel gets her/his wings. I guess you could probably use a few angels if you break anything! Anyway, good luck without rockin' around the Christmas tree! Keli

I used to live in Omaha, and I taught a few classes at Westroads Athletic Club! Between Westroads, Oakview Mall and One Pacific Place, that Von Maur's was one of my favorite places to shop. It is so sad to see that young man get the publicity he craved at the expense of those poor people. My...

Okay--I am in agreement --it's not the cueing. I redid her warm-up and the first two combos (that's all I could handle) and I realized that you guys are right, she does cue pretty well, it's just that if you don't understand what a down turnaround is (for example) you will be standing there...

I just had to chime in--I bought Amy's step DVD, too. First time, I decided to do it after I had done Cathe's 4 day split HIS--I think I was feeling a little full of myself like perhaps I could get any combo. Then I started Amy's warmup and as soon as she did the move where she step touches...

Congrats Amy! What was that about studying for the BAR--I would just go to the nearest bar--no need to study! Shirley Temple on the rocks--please! Keli

Hey Lauramax! Boy do I relate! I recently tried online dating and was surprised to see that I was given a age range of men from 35 to 55. I just turned 40 and it looks like socially I am allowed to dip 5 years younger and 15 years older! That seems a little skewed--yes? One good thing is...

John Sines has great music--all original artists and designed at specific beats per minute. If you like hip hop --this guy is the best. He also has other mixes that are of popular music that he calls bubblegum funk. I was a dynamix and powermusic gal before John Sine and now I won't order...

Happy Birthday! Hope you hear from your family soon, but if not--I think you deserve a healthy dose of retail - birthday blues - therapy! I find that a new pair of shoes can be very healing! Keli

Nancy! That is hilarious! I'm going to save that one! Keli

I had that very some moment when I got back from a trip this summer. It was the inspiration for my joining WW online at 4 AM one morning when I was all worked up over my weight. I was having knee pain at the time and all I could think was--your knee should hurt for all the weight you are making...
