it's definitely back to business as usual around the gym already. Yesterday we started back on our class schedule now that residents are streaming back into town. Granted it was a scaled down version of our normal line up but most of the instructors

funny story. When we arrived in St. Thomas we got off the ship and got a tour of the island from this taxi cab driver guy that was standing outside near the port gates. It was a great deal at only $20 a person for a 2 hour drive around the island and

so after a full week of complete and utter glutony..we came home on sunday and weighed ourselves. OMG.  My dear sweet husband gained 10 pounds. Me? I was the exact same weight as I was the day we left. Now this just doesn't seem fair. I didn't even

We never in our WILDEST dreams would have thought a hurricane would have come into the gulf again so soon after Katrina, we half assumed one might divert us around in the caribbean..but never expected one of that magnitude to barrel straight towards

well my bag is packed, got my payroll emailed in early for next week, did my last workout tonight (30 minutes HIIT on the treadmill and then an abs and a yoga class) and I'm out of here in the morning. I'll email Perl my blog-city login and password.

((( sniff ))) I got the SWEETEST thankyou card from my girl that is moving away to San Antonio and leaving the gym this weekend. I'm actually EXTREMELY happy for her. She's leaving her accounting job to go coach softball at the university where she u

the gym has been dead this week. D.E.A.D. I got there for my 9:30 powerpump class and the kickbox class before me had 3 people. There were *maybe* 3 people out in the cardio theatre and *maybe* one or two big time grunting weight lifters in the back.

what a difference a week makes..

blog brain empty today. I suppose I could tell you about my 8:30am powerpump class. Monday morning people? Ugh. I think we need to install a starbuck's cart in the aerobics room for them. They are grumpy, non-responsive, boring robots. So different t

there is only one more week left before you go off on vacation? Ahhhhhh!!! Did I spend my weekend wisely? Oh heck no. Yesterday I did lots of laying around, tv watching, napping and eating. Did I get some laundry done? No. Did I type up a new and upd

things seem to have calmed down (stabilized) at the gym finally. ...instructors not quitting anymore..classes getting taught, no more late arrivals or no shows. Was able to go up this morning and just pound out some cardio on the eliptical. Felt good

I had to totally laugh at myself tonight in Powerpump class. We were doing bicep curls with our heavy barbell and I said "okay!  tuck those elbows into bed by your ribs and use your arms to lift that weight".....then I paused and blurted o

my employees that have quit in the last few weeks have been the less experienced types. Ones that have only been teaching a year or two. They don't have the strong personalities that my older more experienced ones do. I have a lot of other instructor

today? Not a good day. Started by getting an email from yet another instructor. It reads: "I think I'm going to move further away from the gym, I won't know for sure if I'm going to keep my classes.  I'm going to rent the new apartment today, a

Crazy weekend people. Most of it spent not feeling good, laying on my sofa watching the aftermath of Katrina unfold. Somehow managed to sub a kickbox class on Saturday morning..pulled that one out of my butt...vertigo is a harsh mistress.2 more instr

holy crap people. I'm lying on my couch and the world is literally TWIRLING out of control around me. At 9:39am this morning my cell phone rings and it's my ANGRY boss asking me where the 9:30 cycle instructor is.  She didn't call the gym, there

all this sadness and despair makes what is already swirling around my head even worse.... People in my yoga class yesterday couldn't focus, couldn't concentrate..they spent most of the time resting in childs pose . I couldn't put my head below my h
