Morning Yoga Ladies -
I ended up doing 30 minutes of Champion Rebounding Supersets and Drills (with warm up included) and then I did 60 minutes of Rebecca Small Symmetrical Step off of the Stomp DVD with cool down and stretch. I burned 560 calories in 1.5 hours of cardio and then I did Shiva Rea's Fluid Power from the Matrix, Mandala Namaskar I & II, Backbending Vinyasa, Forward Bends and Twists, and Shavasana (60"). I added an inversion at the end and a final twist for purposes of recirculating the blood after getting into the hips so deeply in the forward bending and twisting segment. I know my hips have to be full of toxins with the stress I've been under.
Whoa....that different segment of Rebecca Small that I did really took some brain power. I only learned a 15 minute block and repeated it about 3 times. First time I was totally lost and thought I was hopeless...second time I did a bit better and third time thru just a bit better, but still got really lost at the very end of the block. I wanted to keep trying it over and over to see if I'd keep getting better (can you tell I'm worried about my brain functioning properly at my new job), but I thought I should quit when I looked at my HRM and I'd been doing aerobics for 1 hour and 20 minutes...so I cooled down and stretched.
I freaked out at the Christmas Party yesterday. I went to put my glasses on out of the case and I couldn't see. My one lens was missing. Thank God the screw was in my case and we eventually found my lens. All I could think of is calling in to my new job on Tuesday to tell them I'm gonna be late cuz I have to get my glasses fixed (since I can't wear my contacts with all of my eye problems) and I have no other glasses. My DH can't see very well (cuz he needs glasses), so what does he do?....he drops the screw and then everyone was looking for it!! Thank God...we found it and they're fixed.
I'm getting ready to soak in the tub. We're going to a movie later but I'm not sure what. I wish I wasn't so nervous about starting this new job. I can't stand how nervous I am. I know I'm not going to sleep tomorrow night!! Why can't I be a laid back person?
Jen - Beth (BPAl owner) posted that the update will be some time on New Year's DAy. I certainly hope it goes up early enough for me to check it out and order before bed time.....cuz I have to work the next day and won't have time to do it then....and I'm thinking with them partying on NYE....they won't be up that early and they live in California! I'm glad your DH is enjoying the oils also. Mine doesn't wear anything like that.
Karin - Are your parents visiting yet?
Megadoo - Do you end up ordering Jennifer Kries new one?
Tammy - C'mon.....be brave and try Shiva's Fluid Power again. Let me give you a tip....always be on the same leg she is and if you need to pause it to figure out which leg is wear ....go ahead and rewind ...examine her foot placement, etc. and then try the pose on your own a few times and then it will start to flow together....I hope!! That's what I had to do at first and sometimes even now, if my DH walks thru the room and says something and breaks my concentration, I get all messed up.
My DH says I'm overtrained from working out too many hours a day. He says I'm really irritable. I have been irritable but I think it's from my constant pain and nervous anxiety about this job. I remember last time I was off work for a little bit and then went back, I kept thinking....how did I do everything I wanted to do at home and work all day! I am really able to keep myself busy when I stay home. I won't have a problem when I'm retired!!
I saw over at VF that the CIA series details for this year have been posted. There will be a presale next week. I loved my CIAs from last year.....so now I've got to figure out where to dig up the cash for them. Also, Mindy posted on her site that she's coming out with more Gliding DVDs and a few other new workouts and will have a presale the beginning of January.
Yes, any lurkers who care to join us for the New Year, please do so.
