I knew something wasn't right during my stability ball class last night. I had trouble doing some of the more simple prone (over the ball) balancing exercises, said something to my class like "wow, I can't do this for some reason tonight" a

ugh it's really hard to write today. So much devastation with that hurricane. It's hard to fathom just a 7 hours drive from here is completely underwater and we are high and dry. I can't stop watching the TV coverage. It is so reminscent of when tro

ya know..it's been a BAD week for musically challenged instructors. I took the 9:30am instructor's step and sculpt class this morning after my ball class.  I've known this girl for years. We've done yoga trainings together. When I gave her the clas

I've actually been working my behind off this week. Fielding phonecalls, emails, complaints, requests, paperpushing, etc. Updated my excel spreadsheet that has ALL the class attendance numbers in it since the gym opened...hopefully my boss (the gen

walked into my 9:30 class this morning and got completely BLASTED by 2 hateful members. They rushed up to complain up and down about the Monday morning "cardio mix" instructor. (( insert whiney voice)) "She added a weird beat to her gr

Had a weekend. Some of it fun..most of it blah. Here's a brief rundown. Saw "40 year old virgin" movie on Friday. Good movie. A little schizophrenic though. First half is like 13-year-old-boy potty humor then the 2nd half a touching romant

Praise...Encourage..Praise. It's a way of evaluating other instructors (or people in general) that I have learned from my yogafit trainings. And if you do make criticisms you make them personal, like "I think" or "I found"....not

No..I shouldn't. Should I?

I got a free 3 day trial membership pass for a certain gym in the mailbox last night. I have this evil thought I'll take them up on their offer and go to as many group ex classes as I can in 3 days and see what the heck is goin' on over there (they a

I generally try to remain semi non-personal on my bloggity blog but this week has been SO whack and as such has affected me in *such* a bad moon rising kinda way that I just had to vent. Sad part? It's only Wednesday. To sum up: My father's 2nd wi

I came home from class tonight to orange daisies arranged in a pretty vase on the kitchen counter. That Mr. Yogagirl..he's so sweet to me. I instantly felt better. I had a complete no-show for my 9:30 Power Conditioning class this morning. Odd, but

and feeling a very dark shade of it today. Too personal to blog about and I've not been to the gym in 3 days so I don't even have a good fitness rant this morning. It's already past 1pm. I've had 4 shots of espresso, I'm still in my jammies, and I h

I had to do some errands in downtown Houston on Friday (((( shudder )))...ick I hate it down there. But anyway I found myself driving home on the street that runs along the Med Center. Something inside of me picked up my cell phone and called my old

I have the *weirdest* dog known to man. He STILL absolutely HATES going outside for a walk. He barely even hears me open the hall chest of drawers to get his collar and leash and runs to his bed to hide. "No PLEASE! not the walk!". Then I d

hrmpfh...... I've already failed on my mon/wed/fri 5:15am summer spin shape up thing. 4:30 rolled around this morning and I think I listened to an entire song on the radio before I realized it was my alarm and not some crazy music going on inside my

it's "meet the press". Agh! Remember when you were little and your parents would watch news shows and you would roll around on the carpet in front of the TV in agony and couldn't for the life of you understand how they could sit there and w

I've been on a self discovery jag this week..ordering lots of fun stuff from Amazon and scouring the 1/2 price bookstore between classes. Picked up "Learn to Relax" by Mike George for $4 and poured over it last night. I'm fairly familiar wi

managed to make it to 5:15am spin again this morning. I didn't sleep well last night for fear I'd not hear my alarm and oversleep. Then I had dreams all night about getting there and seeing all 16 bikes claimed by members. Damn. It hardly seems

well, hmmmm.... or some other dorky catchy phrase that I might come up with at 5am in the morning. That's right kids. 5am. It's a 6 or maybe 7 (if I make it that long) week program I've cooked up. More cardio! Eating better! More protein! Quasi sout
