9.10.10: Last & Final Cake Site (maybe)

Today: Ok totally redid the cake blog site (again). This is the final version though for sure (maybe). Hehe here it is. "I Want a Freakin' Cupcake" And in case any of you missed why the name is what it is: a few years ago when one of my nieces was about 6 she wanted a cupcake before dinner and I said "no you have to eat dinner first" and she said "I want a f#@%ing cupcake" and I said "what did you say" and she repeated herself and skipped off on her merry way. So the phrase has stuck and thats thats.  ( Custom cakes by Lindsey Lu. Phoenix custom cakes. Specialty Cakes Phoenix. Arizona custom specialty cakes. Specialty cupcakes phoenix. Custom cupcakes  Phoenix wedding cakes. )

Thank you all (you know who you are) for your input and ideas about the cake site :) keep em coming!...Wish me luck, I have TWO cakes this weekend-yikes! And Im trying some new things so pray for me...

Today's Review: Dance Off The Inches Cardio Hip Hop
Jen Galardi, 2010 **** (4 stars of 5)

This is a 44 min hip hop dance workout led by Jen with 2 background exercisers. The body of the w/o is 33 minutes long and the rest is w/u & c/d. You wont need any equipment and there is no modifications. The w/o is broken up into three dance segments that you can "play all" or there is a chapter menu. The dvd also includes a nice "learn the moves" tutorial that was very helpful. The set is really nice- light grays & pinks, kind of a "living room" type set. The music is fine, nothing noticable. The outfits are kind of hip hop inspired.

The routines are built up add-on style. You learn one move, practice it. Learn the next move, practice it add it on to the 1st and so on. The first two segments are all cardio dance and the third segment adds in some standing core work to the dancing and is a bit slower moving.

I thought Jens cueing was really good but me being the NON dancer (and trying to adapt it to the rebounder) had a hard time following along. Had I done it on the floor, I could have followed along much better but I dont think I would have burned very many calories. This is the perfect w/o for those that like to dance and are good at choreo (though I really dont think this choreo was that tricky-def not boring, but not too difficult IMO). I would rate this intermediate/ higher intermediate in terms of choreography and high beginner in terms of cardio difficulty.

Today's Tip: Slimming Swap #6 - Instead of sweetened yogurt try: dressed-up non-fat Greek yogurt
Even the non-fat version of Greek yogurt has a rich, satisfying texture, and if you flavor it with real cocoa powder, you add an antioxidant kick. For sugar-free, heart-healthy sweetness, sprinkle on some cinnamon, which has been shown to help regulate blood sugar. More from Shape here.
