Wow, for the finale I think I just enjoyed the Most. Soothing. AntiGravity. Yoga. Wings. Ever! Cherie P, ma cherie! Ace instructor and so sweet! And then she said she'd been a scoliosis sufferer and how much AGYW has done for her ailment. So inspiring! What a great end to Chapter Uno.
(and my two fastest shooting stars to date!)
Tomorrow is the last day of The Silk Road - Chapter 1. Heather had to cancel silks class tonight because she's really sick. Eek! I'll have to see what I can swing (haha get it?) so I can fit one more into the challenge. It's kind of embarrassing how much we are all eating kmcm's flying fairy dust!
Yesterday I picked a pilates class because it seemed like the best timing. I don't do pilates often and I am always surprised how some classes can be quite challenging, while others a snooze. I was pleasantly surprised that the class kept my entire core engaged for 60 minutes straight. We used one of those ring things to hold in between our legs- I was a little confused of the purpose of the rings and unsure if they added something. Today I have a mild tenderness in my tummy reminding me to keep up the ab work as the holiday hibernation approaches. Topped it off with 10 mins of upper body strength w/ assisted pull ups in all four grips.

Oy vey von Hottness. I really burned the candle at both ends! Performance, cleaning up the theater, Halloween Party #1, Halloween party #2, home at 4 am, back at the theater at 10am for load-out. Done by noon and von Hottie goes CRASH. Party girl plague and the real plague for this party girl. Had dinner with Sass and her brother. Sometimes I forget Anti-Gravity Yoga and aerial silks are not dinner topics for most people. Good thing I have an iPhone so I can pull out the visual aids.
Yoga vida with live cello music. I haven't been to live music at noon in months. It used to be part of my routine. I must bring it back.
Ugh I've got a cold and it's our last show. Happy Halloween! I'm going as Sniffle-ufagus.
A perfect day bicycling Woodhaven, Brnx > Stamford CT. Amazing route, great group, beautiful day. Thank you, New York Cycle Club.
Holy hammocks! I now know what people complain about when the complain about AntiGravity Yoga Wings. Does it break my heart to being saying this about my new heartthrob of a class?
Yes.
This instructor - eek. Hello. It is Friday night. We all need to have fun, not have someone make us feel like little people, yelling at us in not a nice way and supposedly instructing YOGA! Give me a break! We weren't even told about the plumb line until 25 minutes into class (an essential piece of information when dangling from the ceiling). No wonder people are doing it wrong and walking away saying bad things about it.
Friday Confessional: Confused by half baked job offers and rearranging my schedule every minute to accommodate interviews - resorted to snickers. Snickers satisfies and damn, I'm cool with it. Okay, so people are finally paying attention to me- now could you please give me an offer I can't refused. Thank you very m
Christine N. came to aerials with Heather today! She brought her HR monitor and I was totally excited that we might be able to nerd out and get a good reading during class. Alas, you can't wear a watch on the silks, and the monitor wouldn't work from the ground. Booo! We did the usual - climb practice, footlocks, inversions, side bends and hip keys. I'm such an aerial know-it-all now - I was totally giving Christine tips on her form when we shared a silk. Then I thought maybe I should put a silk in it, so to speak, and let Heather teach her own damn class. Diane, the other woman in class, was one of those older women with amazing abs. I tried not to stare. Maybe when I'm past the age of 50 I'll have abs like that. GOAL! Diane really wanted to try a beginner split and it was a nice little departure from my usual silks class practice. I had tried this one before at the NY trapeze school - or rather, I had tried to try it. We wrapped our first footlock from the ground, and then Heather helped me get my second foot in the second footlock because I was busy hanging on for dear life. I had fun wobbling around with my feet in two silks. You can really feel how important your core is when you're strung between two silks in a split!
We had a funny conversation at the end of class about how no one likes to be a beginner - everyone wants to go straight to being advanced -and Heather complimented be on having a great attitude about being right where I am. Maybe teacher's pet should be my Halloween costume, hahahahahaha. Baby steps to the big guns! Ready, aim, fire!
For my grand finale I tried "Lemon Summer Vanillas" from Bath and Body Works, and, whoa, by a long shot it was the most robust bubble yet. Usually bubbles start to fade into regular bath water, signaling time to pull the plug. Not this bubble -- it wouldn't quit.
I took my usual late-night phone chat with Sass into the tub.
Tonight was the best pre-show warm-up ever. I chugged coffee while hula hooping and then the whole cast danced and sung to Boom Boom Pow while applying sunburn makeup. After the show, we had drinks and pizza. Of course I took the extra plates for aerial conditioning. I walked my castmate to his bike and his new fancy back tire had been stolen! I guess he can't be so fit and beautiful and bike to the theater anymore :(
BEST NEW SNACK:
Toasted whole wheat flat bread (100 cals)with 2 table spoons of trader joe's artichoke red pepper tapenade (20 cals)- tastes so fancy. Thanks Trader Joe's!
<Sponsorship HELLO?>
Fabulous workout. I really have to keep this momentum. It's such a relief to feel back in the game. Kangoo was off the hook. I was a maniac on the floor. Hold up, let's just take a moment and give it up for Beyonce. Um..."Get me Bodied" is my anthem. Tomas, I wanted to make sweat love to your play list. So pumped and dripping after that I went to the big boyz section and did gravitron, free weights, abductors, sit up bench on biggest incline, and that back ab thing that you lift up. I may or may not be stalking a hottie. He is very not interested and that makes me more interested (naturally). He can suck it.
TO QUOTE THE BRILLIANT BEYONCE
[Pre-Chorus:]
I ain't worried doing me tonight
A little sweat ain't never hurt nobody
While ya'll standin' on the wall
I'm the one tonight
Getting bodied, getting bodied, getting bodied, getting bodied
Want my body
Won't you get me bodied
You want my body
Won't you get me bodied (hey)
[Chorus:]
Can you get me bodied
I wanna be myself tonight
Can you get me bodied
I wanna be myself tonight
Won't you sing my body
I want to let it out tonight
Wanna party, wanna dance, wanna be myself tonight, me bodied
Back to Einat's "5-6-7-8" version of AntiGravity Yoga Wings. She had us flip and flip and flip and flip and then do the vampire warp, for which, yet again, the chicken wing combo eluded me.
