kinda hard to be all rah rah this year when so many thousands of people have died or are homeless, orphaned and injured a half a world away...we're having a quiet celebration tonight with good friends, with good food, and with good conversation. Th

okay I need a serious break. it did NOT help that I went to the temporary gym presale office yesterday for 6 hours, interviewed 5 prospective instructors, and took them through the construction of the new facility....DRESSED IN HEELS.  Granted I

what a yawner!

Friday, 17 December 2004 11:15 A GMT-08
oh brother. this morning I had a group of ladies for "power sculpting" that just didn't want to work very hard. When I would say "heavy up for this set the back is a very strong muscle group" they'd grab their 2 pounders instead o

what a week..

Friday, 17 December 2004 5:18 A GMT-08
it's been insane. Luckily 2 of the extra classes I took on to sub this week turned out to be "no shows" so I got a little reprieve. (weds 6pm Kickbox and 5:45 step last night). I'm on the payroll finally at the new gym and currently embroil

the irony of it all..

Tuesday, 14 December 2004 10:00 P GMT-08
not many gym participants that I know have that certain sparkle in their eye for "turbokick". People either love it, or hate it. There doesn't seem to be a middle ground whatsoever. If I'm lucky I'll build one or two real "lovers"

perhaps it was foolish...

that's right folks. it's not "Lady" of America this week..it's me. me me me me me...all me..and I don't  know about you but I'm already sick and tired of myself. Turns out I'm subbing step on Monday night at 4:45pm, then subbing kickbox

Saturday, 11 December 2004 2:29 P GMT-08
well the psoas is feeling better today..it's still hurting but I'm not yelping out loud and shuffling around like an 80 year old woman anymore. Class was fun this morning. I did a fun flow between chair pose and warrior 3. We shifted weight into one

ugh. I did something to my right hip flexor. Overstretched..overworked...something painful. ouch. Figured out i'm okay once i'm up and moving but getting up and down out of a seated position is EXCRUCIATING! I literally have to hold onto my right leg

gah..it's been a hard week. I'm so glad the weekend is almost here. I'm almost out the door this morning to go teach "super sculpt" and then turbokick at the ladies gym. Jennifer is off work today and she's coming up to the gym to take th

on the way to class Tuesday night, Jennifer and I saw the lifeflight helicopters over the parkway leading into our neighborhood. There was a HUGE accident and traffic was backed up in both directions for miles. Luckily we backtracked and turned onto

music..

Monday, 6 December 2004 8:28 A GMT-08
I'm a music freak. I hate to use the same CD for 2 classes in a row and I'm pretty picky about what I like and don't like. I've been teaching mainly yoga for so long it's been forever since I had to buy new music for step or sculpting or anything bes

I'm not exactly putting all my eggs in one basket with this decision.. I'm actually just putting them into 3 baskets as opposed to 4 baskets and getting rid of the one basket that involves me driving 45 minutes one way to teach 2 classes and an abs c

well I told the dance studio guy this morning after my yoga class that I'd teach through December, but that I will no longer be able to in January because of my new position at the gym. He didn't even flinch. Just congratulated me on my new position

it's about to get crazy ...

Wednesday, 1 December 2004 2:20 P GMT-08
well I accepted the position this afternoon. I had to get in there before somebody swooped in underneath me. And not be a power tripper but dammit I don't even want to teach there unless I can be in charge. Wow how's that for being assertive? In the
