I am a pussy when it comes to confrontation. I am EVEN worse when I am over tired and totally stressed. That's when I usually get so frustrated I start crying and gasping for air (while trying to formulate coherent sentences) like a 2 year old baby.

I was running so high on adrenaline and lack of sleep yesterday that I catapulted over a vanity bench in the ladies locker room at the gym and have a nice goose egg sized bruise on the inside of my right knee now. Funny, it didn't hurt at ALL when I

today was crazy. Tomorrow might well even be worse. The gym opened this morning at 9am and although it's not entirely put together, it's getting there. Oh did I mention there are about 3 plasma TVs sitting on the floor of my group exercise room (face

happy birthday Kipper!

Today Kippy is 1 year old,  and he has finally gotten old enough to go back to bed with me in the morning. Up until now he was far too interested in causing complete havoc in the bedroom (and was generally just way too spazzy) instead of settlin

the city inspectors for the gym are coming on MONDAY now. Nothing will happen this weekend and if they don't pass us on the first walk through, well you know what that means. Delay delay delay. At this point I just hope the gym is open before NEXT Sa

so while attending to my poor Kippy dog and his weird process of thermoregulation this morning ..(he's better by the way, thanks!) I happened to be flipping around and landed on ESPN with the old Jack Lalane show playing. OMG. What a freakin' KOOK he

3 things mainly. One: I was out of my regular antiperspirant this morning so I rumaged around into my overnight bag and found that small sample sized Secret I have in there. Put it on and IMMEDIATELY it smelled like I was on vacation. What is up wit

American Idol stirred up an EXTREMELY old memory for me last night. If you watched, the lead singer of that rock band that got his gold ticket to hollywood?  Constantine? Oooh. He shares an uncanny resemblance with my 6th grade boyfriend (of what? m

dismal fitness fair. What is it with people in the suburbs? They don't wanna get fit? They don't wanna be healthy? They don't want free luna bars, water bottles, and door prizes? My poor friend Beth, the organizer of the thing, did everything but sta

today was truly a day off. I had no classes to teach and nothing pressing to get done. Lovely. Got up with Mr. Yogagirl and made him his myoplex after he finished his cardio (don't ask..the man insists I make a better blenderized myo than him? Puh-le

when you lay in bed, can't sleep, and remember you need to email your friend that is doing that big fitness fest at the church (where you teach yoga) this weekend to let her know that you've got a wireless microphone system that we can use for the c

it's been a crazy week. sad it's only Wednesday because it feels more like Friday with as much as I've gotten done. At least the teaching load is light, on the other hand the administrative work is outta this world right now. Meeting instructors, get

well the gym is coming right along, and we are totally on target to open in 10 days. They are putting in the main floor matting today and installing all of the mirrors. The mirrors are making it look even uber LARGER than it already is! It's incredi

what's more fun than a barrel of monkeys you ask? Why heading on down to the new gym at 8pm on a Friday night to be interviewed by the local "Shopper" publication. That's what.   Eh hem......not so much. It's one of those color glossy th

brr! I've been freakin' freezing ALL day. Finally had to go take a nice hot bath. I'm a dork. It's like 68 in the house and yet my lips and nail beds actually turn blue and my teeth start to chatter. Yeah. No kidding. What is up with that? Guess I'

of the spectrum today. I go into my new gym everyday to check the resume file folder for new instructor leads. There's usually 5 or so instructors that stop by per week looking for work. Right now I've pretty much got the schedule all wrapped up, I

mr. yogagirl??? he's gone and done something CRAZY again. he's bet a friend $250 bucks that he can lose more weight by March 31st. Now the weird thing is his challenger weighs about 75 more pounds than him but they both have about the same amount of
