the remaking of a kitchen

oops, i guess i didn't blog about yesterday's activity. i went to studio strength in the morning and we had a different sub teacher. she was a real goer. we did a lot of squats with the bands, and used the bosu ball for most everything else. we did squats, weights, all sorts of stuff, and to relax in between we were to jog laps and then go side ways for a lap and then skip. i walked, and then did the rest, but stayed out of the lap path because i was slowing everyone down. :( we were to do lots of push-ups and that is not my deal either. she probably thinks i'm a loser in the exercise realm.
we did a lot of shoulder stuff and i was worried about how i'd do with that, but so far so good. in the afternoon i went to my first tai chi class. it's at a neighborhood church so i walked there, but left don a note that if it rained as predicted i'd call for a ride home. the class was interesting, and we went over several poses, but i'm pretty sure i won't remember them just going over them one time. takes more than that to become rooted in my brain! it was a good way to do things that relaxed the muscles i'd been stressing earlier in the day. and yes, it was pouring down rain when the class ended, so don gave me a ride home....wuss am i!!

i returned to my body flow class at the y today. i found out that not attending for several weeks, well maybe more than several weeks does make a difference. i was able to keep up for the most part, but there were some things that were just going to happen. like stretching into doing the splits....NOT in my lifetime with this bod! i did the alternative which was lying on my back with one leg in the air and stretching toward the splits in that position. it did feel good to be back and i won't miss so many classes in a row in the future. one interesting thing is that my balance seems to have improved....i know that creativity happens whether you are working at it or not, but i was surprised that balance happens when you're not looking too!
thursday is studio strength and i'm looking forward to that. i've missed most of march in that class, but i have done a few things with bands at home....it will still be hard this first time back.
