if there wasnt 10 inches of snow outside i’m sure i could grill too!! he’ll eat anything that comes off a grill. taco salad is a great idea! i could even do it with ground turkey. i’m probably going to start trolling the internet for recipes. hopefully i’ll turn something up.
My bad haha! It never occured to me that other people might be deterred by snow – I guess maybe BBQing in the snow is a Canadian thing? You’d have all your neighbors looking at you funny! (There! At least I used the American spelling of the word neighbors https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_tongue.gif )
I don’t suppose an electric grill would achieve the same taste. But the zucchini slices work well on a cookie sheet in the oven too. They’re kinda like really healthy chips but not quite as crunchy.
My bf puts salsa, a little sour cream and crushed tortilla chips in his taco salad and that seems to work for him https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

If you have carpet where your pole is…would it be possible to maybe cut some plywood or something and cut out a little space for the pole (see the picture I attached) and then buy some kind of tile (maybe even hardwood floor tiles…like the cheap vinyl-ly ones) and stick them on top so there is kind of a cheap "stage"…wouldn’t really call it a stage, but you girls who have hardwood floors or vinyl, it looks a lot easier to spin around the pole…
What do you girls think? I can’t get a Platinum Stage because it would suffocate my living room & my boyfriends friends wouldn’t like it for Monday Night Football =)
SORRY! I’m just so excited to be setting up my pole space!!! =)
If someone gives this a shot, will you please post your results? I’m sort of worried that the hardwood or plywood or whatever would slide/move around on the carpet with enough force (depending on the backing?)! Otherwise I’ve also considered that idea – it somehow makes the area seem more dance-studio like?

Sounds like we’re in the same boat! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif
My bf’s developed a like for fresh veggies and low fat ranch dip…
He’s also started grilling several different types of veggies on the BBQ. He’ll season asparagus or broccoli and do them in tinfoil, or sprinkle zucchini with olive oil, garlic and parmesan cheese.
Otherwise you can compromise with meat and veggie stirfrys, soups, or whole-wheat wraps, and a taco salad has ground beef with lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, etc…I still don’t think we eat enough veggies, and I know they lose some of their nutritional value when you cook them certain ways… Let us know if you come up with any solutions! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif

I could be wrong, but I was under the impression that the new x-sport is static like the kendra, but the new x-pert does spin, and they are both bottom loading… I think the x-pert is about $450.00 US including shipping? Don’t quote me on it but check it out.

Poor thing! That does sound nasty…
Have you tried taking several breaks throughout the day to stretch rather than sitting for too long of a period? Stacey Nemour’s Secrets of Splits and Flexibility has some really amazing stretches for the glutes, IT band, etc. – some I’ve never seen before and have begun recommending to some of my clients… The online DL is $10.00 – could be worth it if you can start taking breaks during the day. Is there something more erganomic for you to sit on?
Have you been to a massage therapist or physiotherapist for some passive stretching (where someone else performs the movements for you)? When the brain is not involved in doing the work, the stretch is more effective. I find that a PNF technique is particularly effective, and any trained therapist should know what to do.
And what about heat? Or accupuncture?
Everyone is different so maybe consider trying one of the above or even a combination??
Anyway I hope you feel better soon! You’ll have to let us know how its going – Good Luck!

Holy WOW! I downloaded it last night and I give it 5 Stars!
I have a pretty impressive repertoire of stretches from my kinesiology class, but she does some I’ve never seen before and man are they good!!
The only thing is… now I feel so discouraged haha! I thought I was fairly flexible but now I can see how far away I am! Oh the PAIN! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif

YAY! I’m so EXCITED! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
It’s so so nice to be able to relate to others and the support from everyone really helps to change my attitude and perspective. I don’t really feel like I’m alone in this afterall https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gifbut since you can’t actually feel how hard a move is for someone else, who cares!
Nicki Lee – Deadly! That is such a good point!
Thanks Terp for the tips! I WILL keep them in mind!
And I think instead of something easy like the shins, I’ll work on my flexibility and go for something like his butt https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumright.gif !

Definetely cool to find out where everyone comes from. And promising! I really appreciate everyone’s honestly – what a friendly, positive group of people. I’m hoping that it comes to me with some practice! I’m pretty obsessed and I don’t even own a pole yet!
Thx again!

I like it! Somehow seems appropriate – graceful? sophisticated?
I’m not sure about naming my pole tho… I think I’ll need to think of it as a tool more than anything. I will however likely come up with a code name for it https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cool.gif -
Awwh! What did you name it?
(Or is it a secret?)
I don’t have a pole yet but I can see how you might want to name it – committed relationship and all… -
Alrighty then! That gives me hope. It looks and sounds like so much fun, and I’m up for the challenge and in need of a distraction. Thanks for your words of encouragement – greatly appreciated!
BUT now I’m holding all of you accountable for when I get stuck and need help haha! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif
