shape!

I was told that doing the silks class would change my shape and I can't believe it, but in just 3 months, I have a smaller waist and a flatter stomach. I can see the difference and my clothes fit in a different way. Now lets just get some plastic surgery to get rid of all that extra skin from two pregnancies -haha.

However, I now have a pulled muscle in my chest (due to who knows what - stretching I think) and had to cancel my classes this week in silks and yoga. Also, I have not been riding in a month.

I started a new needlepoint project (with two others unfinished). These are going to be coasters, each one done is a darkish color and then a picture of this on it in a contrasting neon color.


We'll see how they come out!!!

Thoughts from another blog:

Be kinder.
Be more curious.
Be more aware.
Praise more.
Laugh more.
Be in the moment.
Be flexible.
Be humble.
Be grateful.
Be amazed.

Silks ahoy!

I am really progressing in my aerial silks lessons! I can do things I thought I would never be able to do three months ago.

I can now do a Russian leg wrap which involves hold myself up by my arms and then holding my legs out in front of me while they let go of the silks and one foot wraps the silks around the other. I can climb and let myself down using mostly arm strength. My favorite is now a leg wrap where I have one foot in the Russian wrap and then spin around one of the silks three times. I'm not sure what you call that move.

Here's my video from yesterday.

I was kind of trying to copy this amazing and truely beautiful routine:
