    Yesterday went smoothly up until about 3:00p.m. when I started crashing. I followed the meal plan exactly and the snack bars are actually pretty good! I had the Wild Strawberry shake for lunch and it turned out ok, definitely not my favorite. I had decided that since im allowed one serving of fruit and one serving of veggies per day I would save them till dinner time. BUT once I started crashing I had no choice but to have a banana. The program says that if you feel light headed or dizzy then to have an extra serving so i knew I wasn’t breaking the rules to badly. I then had an apple….ohh im naughty https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_twisted.gif

    I had a headache from 3:00p.m. until I went to bed. I was weak, tired, dizzy, faint…all that jazz. I pretty much just laid on the couch all afternoon like a zombie! lol For my veggie serving I had a mixture of carrotts, snap peas, peppers, broccoli, garbanzo beans, and kidney beans. (It was a frozen blend) I had two servings…oops lol. I followed up my veggie dinner with my French Vanilla shake and it was pretty good! I think next time im going to use ice and make it into imitation ice cream!! After my shake and veggies I was actually full! I took my P.M. health pack and went to bed.

    This morning I blended up the strawberry shake in which I added my fruit of the day to! A frozen mixture of strawberries, pineapple, and banana I think. It didnt really change up the flavor much, but it did make a larger quantity https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif boo

    Oh and my cravings are UNBEARABLE! OMG, cheese, bread, meat, sushi, cheese, cheese, cheese! Thats all I want!! lol I made baked macaroni and cheese the night before last and its sooo calling my name! I could ask for nothing more than scrambled eggs and bacon this morning BUT I shall resist…I dont want to cheat because I know how upset and guilty I will feel.

    Now so far I havent had to take frequent trips to the bathroom but according to my research that fun usually starts on day 2-3…hooray! lol This is going to be the slowest 5 days of my life!!

    Oh and can I just add, on the last day of my cleanse(Saturday), my best friend is having her bachelorette party -.- and I know for a fact there will be tables full of sweets and alcohol flowing from the bottles….
    on Sunday im supposed to go camping with my friends (again, more alcohol…mostly beer and grilled burgers and chips and other junk food)
    Monday night Im competing in a pole fitness competition called Pole-a-palooza taking place at a local strip club, this is a big reason I decided to do the cleanse but im afraid with the weekend full of temptation ill just be back at square one…ugh…tough times

    AND I just got a call from the studio and Im subbing for one of our instructors, teaching 3 back to back advanced classes! I hope I dont pass out!!!
    *can you tell im irritable? lets add it to the list…*

    3 MORE DAYS

    How long do you guys think it should be? Three hours? Also, do we want early morning like 9-12 or late afternoon like 4-7 (or later). I believe it’s going to be $35/person again but I still need to double check on that.

    ATTENDANCE:

    Gelina- yes
    Mindy — yes
    Ashlee – yes!

    April 8, 2010 at 7:04 pm in reply to: Alcohol for slippery pole?

    I mix half alcohol and half water in a spray bottle, spray a microfiber rag and wipe my pole (which is a stainless steel lil mynx). It’s always worked pretty well for me although the warmer temps outside help tremendously. Here in Texas we don’t have that problem. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif I think the microfiber rag helps ALOT bcauSe when I use a regular rag I don’t stick as well as when I use a microfiber one (not really sure why?) but it’s almost hard to do spins when I’ve cleaned with the microfiber.

    Yes! Being a pole dancer gives you a great advantage on the Lyra! you already have upperbody and core strength, it’s just now being able to find balance and stability. My studio just got some hoops installed about a month ago and they are amazing. Flexibility definitely helps! I would try searching for a circus school/pole studio and inquiring if they have hoop lessons. I love the Lyra https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif I hope you’re able to give it a try!!
