omg Taylor too funny you sound like me i’ll be so good about what i eat all week, than come the weekend it’s like i grow an extra stomach to accomadate extra everything cookies/chips/huge cups of coffee milk ( i think i was born with an extra compartment for pizza) now in the summer i can basically get away with it as am alot more active and am happy with a healthy, not stick thin, shape, but over my vacation/holidays got in the habit of waking up at like 2am (prob cause am used to working 3rd shift) and making gooey peanut butter and jeely sandwiches can’t imagine how i gained 10lbs???… https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif lol no biggi i’ll be back to normal in no time have a big night out planned for a few weeks from now so have a little extra motivation to work out https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bounce.gif

ya know speaking of sucky practice sessions the last 1 i did started so bad i was thinking maybe i should just give up on this pole stuff for awhile (temporary insanity https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_viking.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_compress.gif ) i was like "thank GOD" for my friends at the studio https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif i was so frustrated and just couldn’t seem to do anything right than i stepped back and thought about how i would talk to a friend ( i would never talk to a friend the way i talk to myself sometimes can be very self critical, yet am very supportive/encouraging with others) i reminded myself how hard i have worked, how far i have come, the moves i have learned in just the last month ect basically a good pep talk after that i wasn’t really trying anything special i just had fun i ended up coming up with that combo that allows me to get into and stay in chopper position, plus got the split heel move don’t lose heart i’m sure your next practice will ba amazing! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumright.gif
