I taught for the first time since last Tuesday...I haven't had a rest run like this in AGES. Granted the rest was needed, but 75% of the time off was spent sick with a cold and either lying in bed or on the couch. Blah. It showed tonight...

feeling soooooo 1988...

so HBO had the movie "Phantom of the Opera" premiere on Christmas eve. I watched it in HD upstairs. Then I recorded it downstairs on the regular tv for my TiVo the next day....so I can watch it over and over and over at my own leisure.

okay the dollar sign part is because in my nyquil induced stupor yesterday I read the following email:  "we have decided to hold a morning class from 8:30-11:30pm called Rasa Vinyasa Flow. Would you like to attend?" as "

I just got an email letting me know the Shiva Rea yoga workshop has been moved to 8:30am tomorrow instead of noon. And did I mention our espresso machine went tits up yesterday and we had to order a new one that won't arrive until Friday?  

why is it?

when you are sick you can't for the life of yourself remember what it feels like to be healthy? Ahhh..we take such things so lightly don't we? And yes..it hit me like a ton of bricks. What's worse is when I get sick my histamine load sky rockets so t

I made up a batch of 'evil crispix mix' for our party saturday night. I swear this stuff has CRACK in it.  I packaged the rest up in a big tin and trotted it down to the gym this morning. You simply *have* to get that shit out of your house befo

I convinced my boss that we really needed to do something for all of the instructors for Christmas..A good majority of them have been with us since the gym opened it's doors...through thick and thin, they dug in when others bailed, and they dese

Miraculously my tailbone is 90% better today. Have no earthly idea why because I had to teach cycle last night and it was the most excruciating thing I've experienced in quite some time. I can ride hinged forward at the hips just fine, but upright si

literally. My tailbone is killing me. I suspect it is from teaching cycilng 2x a week for the past few months..where I was not accustomed to teaching that format before except maybe to take or sub a class here and there. And trust me it's not because

I have a million things on my plate ...we're hosting a party this Saturday night, I haven't done ONE lick of christmas shopping yet, I have no food in the house except mexican wedding cookies and top ramen and I'm trying to get the new year clas

it's a perfect day for soup here in Texas. A 38 degree HIGH? Not so unusual for you northerners but that's freakin' cold down here. So I fired up 2 cups of water for some lime shrimp top ramen with added mushrooms, fake krab, and green onions..cuz pe

anybody read the yahoo news blurb about the BYU professor that lost 50 lbs and kept it off with the 'no diet' diet? He subscribes to the idea of intuitive eating..eat what you want, but only when you are hungry. He also surrounds himself with normall

Since Thanksgiving, I can't shake the sleep monster.  All I want to do is sleep. Didn't help I stayed up entirely too late this week, had to teach at 5am twice, would come back home and go back to bed and then take a nap in the afternoon. And I

the RN that wanted a teaching job doing a yoga/core class and she isn't certified? Well somehow when I told her that she would need speciality training in yoga and at least a group exercise primary certification to teach it at my gym and that re
