jammin' weekend

Sunday, 27 February 2005 3:11 P GMT-08
Saturday was fun. It was the monthly member appreciation party at the new gym and 2 other instructors volunteered to put together a "jam" class with me. We'd do 30 minutes of spin, 30 minutes of pump (that was my segment) and then finish wi

big ass madness....

Yesterday was a FULL day. It started out with a phone call at 8am from the cycle instructor that was supposed to be teaching the 9:30. Her kid woke up with a 102 fever and couldn't go to school and she needed a sub and nobody else was answering their

even though I don't feel very chatty I feel compelled for some reason to write something...even if it doesn't make a whole lotta sense. By the way, did you know that Walmart has walmart brand graham crackers for just $1.00 a box? That's half the pric

after I wrote that last entry I did some surfing around our neighborhood website and came upon all the pics they took during my yogacore class last week. Here's our RED room in all it's glory. Bad shot of me up front (what is up with that top I'm we

Monday, 21 February 2005 7:49 P GMT-08
but here I go anyway. The new gym membership is up around 600 finally. Now when I come in to teach at 7pm the parking lot is 1/2 full and the gym is buzzing with people. Even the class numbers have come up and we're finally seeing a minimum of 10 in

grrr. don't talk to me this morning..I've just spent the last 4 hours with turbotax figuring our "hemorrage" of cash this year. People?  It ain't pretty. It really really really sucks being an 1099 non-employee compensated kinda person. At

OK I'm not a big "meme" blogger..in fact I don't even know what meme stands for exactly? Memory? Anyway I digress..yoganerd  (hi!) had this one recently and I copied the idea gratuitiously: Goal? Search on google images for pictures that m

energizer bunny...

Friday, 18 February 2005 5:49 A GMT-08
some days I just have limitless energy. When I do? I take full advantage of it. When I'm tired? Damn I'm tired and I'll literally lay on the couch and watch TV for 8 hours. Here lately my energy seems boundless...been teaching an average of 3 classes

square one...

that can pretty much sum up the folks I had in my "powerpump" class tonight. it's a barbell weight training class and we use light weight with high reps. teaching them a deadlift? Oh my. the rounded shoulders..the bent wrists..argh! luckily

ewww...there is a VERY bad bug going around. People talk of cold and flu like symptoms combined with bathroom issues all rolled into one. Yuck! Don't even CALL me when you sound like that and talk about those things that are going on with you.....yo

I'm in another food rut. Grilled chicken sandwiches, the large fruit cup, and diet dr. pepper at Chick-fil-A....practically every damned day! Main problem? I need to get to the grocery store and start cooking again. I mean really..how hard is it to g

today is an extraordinary day.... one of those truly memorable ones we get in February here in the south. Sunny, blue skies, warm, birds are singing. I've got the windows open and it's absolutely lovely. The cycle workshop yesterday was great. I lear

twist of fate..

Sunday, 13 February 2005 5:25 A GMT-08
so I had all these great plans to attend the new AFAA group cycle training yesterday with 2 of my instructor friends. Then the Saturday instructor called at the last minute on Friday night to say her 3 kids are all sick, her husband won't stay at ho

So our gym hosted a huge private party for our county's chamber of commerce members last night. It was quite the affair. We closed the gym to members from 5pm to 8pm, canceled our evening classes, had catered tex mex food, open beer and wine bar, liv

Ya know..I just got mad and deleted a comment from "Dharma" on my last post that read "you should find your happy place, breathe in, breathe out, because nearly all of your posts are negative, etc. etc." Well, maybe...just mayb

today was one of those days..

where I actually contemplated ditching it all in the crazy mixed up fitness world,  calling up my boss at the lab, and begging him to let me come back to do my old job. And believe me..it has to be a REALLY bad day for me to even think about doing

ack ..I'm so irritated today. The new gym management is already requesting we axe all of our 8:15am classes from the schedule. It's only been one week but the last 3 8:15am classes have been total no-shows. The gym just opened, we've not given it mu

this morning I took a class from a brand new instructor I hired for the neighborhood facility. She's a newly certified personal trainer and looks the part. She's young, fit, and has a great personality. She's been coming to our program for the last m

that would be my body today. I consumed so much salty junk food yesterday for superbowl last night that my fingers were tight when I woke up this morning and my face felt like it had a layer of water between it and my skin. Gah! After 2 classes and 3

not only is the superbowl this evening and we're having 3 sets of neighbors over..but it's also mr. yogagirl's birthday. problem? I have NO idea what kind of food to serve. I swear..I'm party food inept. I haven't done any planning, it's 10:30am, t

gah. this stereo thing is driving me CRAZY. The "powers that be" at the new neighborhood facility went and outfitted our exercise room with a DENON home theatre surround sound amp complete with a SONY *400* disc CD changer. Good gawd. No

ack ...my right shoulder hurts. I can't wait to get done with class tonight so I can come home and plop my ass on the couch and put one of those strappy thermacare heat patches on myself. (scary)  those little iron disks turn hot in the prescence

7 foods and other nonsense..

Don't get me wrong. I love my boss at the gym. He's generally a great guy but he IS a bit of a blow hard and he tries to please everyone and in turn does some pretty stupid things. For instance:the other day one of the sales guys introduced me to two

this new gym is a challenge. it's become painfully obvious in just one week that our new members are just that ....NEW members. These are folks that are getting right off of their sofa to come and workout for the first time in 20 years. it makes sen
