Happy Holidays!

Is it nearly Christmas already? Well, where does the time go? I have basically getting back to life after the North Star show. And, of course, looking forward to doing another one. However, I have decided to quit doing figure. It was fun for a while, but one begins to wonder if there is life beyond quarter turns. SO, you will never believe this, but I have decided to do fitness! I mean, that is what really turned me on to all this stuff anyway. I have just always been too chicken from watching the pros. But there is no time like the present to try!

I am pretty excited about this because it solves a lot of problems for me: basically that fact that I can't/don't want to get much bigger. I mean, I think I am big enough. If fitness doesn't pan out, I will be back to bodybuilding. But for now, it's a nice break to not constantly look in the mirror and wish I was bigger.

In the short time I have been training for fitness (including planche training - i LOVE it!), I have noticed one VERY important thing: The floor is very hard!!! I mean, rolling around on it really hurts at times. I can't imagine how much it's going to hurt to do the actual routine on stage, but hopefully adrenaline will help.

Speaking of planches - I can not WAIT until I can actually do one. I might even put some video on UTube. Who knows, maybe I will join the circus then.

Anyway, it is SO COLD around here. My strategy is to never go outside, unless I really have to -- which is going to the gym and going to work. Otherwise, I am inside.

Hope all is well with you! p.s. Don't eat crap. Just because it's the holidays is no reason to be mean to yourself. :)
