It's day 12 of my vacation. What I have done that's productive? Not a whole heck of a lot. Sure, I cleaned the bathroom and washed a few loads of laundry. I also dusted and vacuumed and cleaned the kitchen floor. Big whoop. I've slept in a few times, but taken no naps. I've spent hours practicing BodyPump 78 choreograhy and taught several awesome classes. I've taken a few classes as a participant. Okay, vacation is looking up a bit. My children got me playing Angry Birds, which I swore I would not ever begin, and Words with Friends keeps me busy before bed. I'm enjoying my iPad immensely.
But have I really done what's on my to-do list? Big fat NOPE. Projects like going through Cassie's clothes and toys and donating them. Going through my own clothes, making Franklin go through his and getting rid of them. Purging some clutter that does not seem to happen during the school year. I feel my vacation slowly slipping away and I NEED to get cracking. I also have friends to get together with, dates to go on with my husband, pool dates with my kids.....relax, enjoy....why in the world do I always spend my summers off stressing about how much I need to do when what I really want to do is nothing? Sigh.
Okay, on to tonight. Class was packed, I lagged a bit and almost missed out on getting my weights, with the mad scramble. Jessica came to class, with her big beautiful belly and did a great job at BP for the first time in 6 months. Several regulars are still MIA but it's summer so I know people are busy.
I'm having so much fun with this release. After the mic issue yesterday, I was very conscious of the volume of my voice with the mic working, so while I had way to much fun, I was not as exuberant as I was on Sunday. I really love watching the looks of pain on people's faces. It shoes me they are working hard and changing their bodies, and reminds me of myself as a participant. There's a small part of me that misses that role, one of a participant who was focused only on myself. That said, I wouldn't trade what I'm doing for anything. I love what I do.
So.........during biceps, my mic started making funny noises. Sounded like I was farting, which I was not of course, but it started making these popping noises at different times and I could not figure out what was going on. Finally, at the end of biceps, the mic died. I looked down and noticed the red light on. Well, previous experience proved that it meant the battery was dead (I discovered this during the last launch when the mic didn't work and I thought the solid light meant the battery was working, not that it was dead!) at this point I knew there was no time to go change the battery because I was running a bit behind (talking too much I suppose) so I ripped the mic off, tossed it on the floor and went a cappella yet AGAIN. The show must go on!Did I mind? Heck no, unleash the beast again, just in time for lunges! Woo hoo!!
Tomorrow will be a good day. I'm getting together for coffee with Janet, to catch up on her retired lifestyle (all of 13 days!) and then in the afternoon off to SF to spend some girl time with Kimi and take CX-30 from her. Can't wait! We are traveling in August to Texas to another Les Mills Quarterly, a Super Mega Q, that will be bigger and better than the one I went to in March. So excited and Kimi and I have not spent any time together outside the gym since last November! Crazy busy we are so it will be good to see her. She's going to help me with some nutrition counseling and fitness stuff - need to balance my workouts and make some different food choices to begin seeing some pounds come off. I have not lost ANY weight for a year. How ridiculous is that? Sigh.
Off to bed. Oh, better have some tea and honey first. Vocal cords overworked the last few days! Hahahaha!
