Mine too! I wonder if she knows how many people’s lives she’s touched. Anxiety can be crippling, I know all too well. Hope she is well.

Daisy Head Mayzie is a Dr. Suess book, I loved to read Dr. Seuss to my daughter when she was little. Mae is also my nick name that my mom called me since I was born. Someone called my DaisyHeadMayzie once and it just kinda stuck 🙂

Plank or layout. Whatever you may call it. Completed 2 nights ago. Am now soaking in Epsom salts as I type. Aaa high sweet victory – you were worth it 🙂

PERFECT! I've been having a rough time trying to figure out how to use my foam roller effectively for my upper body.

I saw on Tumblr one day where a girl had posted a video of a very pregnant woman pole dancing. Her comment was something to the effect that this video proved that women who get "fat" during pregnancy are just lazy pieces of sh*t. I thought to myself a couple of things: A) this girl has obviously never been pregnant. B) this girl is not a pole dancer.
I've never heard anything but empowering and encouraging comments from anyone who is involved in pole dancing. Chalk it up to ignorance and/or jealousy. Ignore, ignore, ignore.

My 250lb husband climbed on my Lil Mynx to give it a test and it's still strong as ever! If you have more trouble with it, call Lil Mynx and talk to Randy. They are super friendly and helpful.

I agree w/ Chemgoddess on the music. I've only been poling for a couple of short months, but I've found out quickly that for me – music is SUPER important. Even before I started poling, my music choices have been a really important factor to having a good workout. I notice that on days where I'm tired or discouraged, a song that I can FEEL in my heart will make it or break it. Sometimes my moves feel mechanical or fake, like I'm just copying something and they aren't my own. At the studio, I can't control what music they play but at home, I've made several play lists to match all of my moods (oh so many 😉 For me, dancing is about emotion and my music has to have some kind of connection with me or it's just background noise. The emotion is what moves me – literally – lol.

I have combination skin – although I am prone to acne so my face does tend to get dry and flaky if I'm having a breakout and using more acne medication than normal, so it sounds like I'm in the same boat as you. I used to use mineral powder but it sits in my wrinkles after a few hours and by mid day I look older than I am – no thanks 😉 So with that being said, I also have SUPER sensitive skin, I'm allergic to fragrance and most sunscreens. I've used the brand Clinique since I was 12 because they cater to sensitive skins. It's a little pricey, but every time I've tried a cheaper brand like Almay or Neutrogena, I've been disappointed and at times, down right miserable with an allergic reaction. Hypo-allergenic does not mean that no one will ever react to it! Right now I'm using two Clinique liquid foundations, both are OIL FREE and fragrance free and have an spf 15 that doesn't seem to bother my senstive face. I use one for day time, it's sheer coverage called "moisture surge" – but no worries – it does not cause breakouts. The other is more coverage that I use for going out, night time, etc. or just when I want a more "made up" look. It's called "even better". Thier mineral powder is nice too, did not irritate my acne or sensitivity, just didn't like it in my wrinkles. If you don't have wrinkles then no worries!

Thank you soooo much ladies for your kind words. You all bring tears to my eyes – but good ones 😉 This is exactly what I needed, to hear what challenges you've all overcome and how far you've travelled from the past. You inspire me! I will keep your experiences in my mind on days when I'm not feeling strong and in a manner of speaking – your strength and beauty will help keep me going. I am amazed at how the pole has helped me not just in body, but it seems to be helping heal my soul as well. I really think it's the first thing that I've ever done for myself that is truly just for ME. Not for my hubby or my kid, just me. Had a good practice last night and today I just feel….Grace. Not sure what the proper definition of "grace" is, but in my mind that fits for me today. Can't thank you all enough – you gorgeous gals! (Go glitterhips! I'm an inked up gal myself – love it! oh this pole dancing thing is giving me lots of new inky ideas)

I am soooo glad that I typed in "discouraged" into the Search box in the Forum section. I feel exactly like some of you other beginner ladies. Not only do I have a really week upper body but I'm also a) not flexible b) my lower back is really stiff – can barely arch it and c) my hands sweat like crazy! Dr. said it's called 'palmar hyperhidrosis'. So how many strikes is that against me? Oh and did I mention that I'm 39 years old??? Ha, but I feel so much better now after reading every ones encouraging replies. I refuse to give up, thank you for your positive thoughts!
