Show Stopper.......

 Last night I had a tough time sleeping.

I was way too pumped up about my "real" practice session for my 

upcoming class on the 13th.

I have permission from Maria to use the 

aerobics room any time there is not a class scheduled

to go over my routine.

This is great news and very needed.

While we were in Utah for those three weeks I was able to attend several 

excellent body sculpting classes.

They were very difficult.
 I had a lot of fun taking in the 

different instructors styles and ideas.

I have put together a few different workouts to try out here.

I have them down on paper, but I now I need to actually 

try them out.

(sure I can do that at home, but I have no large ball, or step, or mic, or.....

see what I mean??)

Well, Bingo on finding the perfect slot this morning at 5:30am.

If you look at the schedule you see "Bootcamp" but that is across the 

street at the beach.

Elmer usually has a step class at 6:00am, but clearly he does not

have one on the 10th!

Whooohooo!!

I called my good little workout buddy, Shelly, and offered her 

a deal she could not refuse....

a ONE WOMAN SHOW!!!

A PRIVATE CLASS ALL TO HERSELF.

Really I was just hoping she would critique me like crazy and help

me fine tune and tweak.

I woke up at 4:30 and just decided to stay up and get ready to 

PUMP IT UP!!

(Look.....see my name??!!!  That's my class!!!!)

Well, I get there a little early, I don't want to make my class

wait while I try and figure out the sound system.

Took me a bit, but with a tiny bit of help from the guy at the front desk

I got her up and running.

Shell got there and we started pulling together our "toys".

I set up on the stage of course.... got my water w/in

easy reach.  Set my jacket aside.  Got my step centered, two sets of weights and a bar.

YEAH!!

We were kind of jamming out, getting ready to dig into tough....

when a nice elderly lady came shuffling in.

Oh....I say, I'm sorry, Elmer is not here today, we are just in here practicing.....

she apologized and scadadled out.

We are really going to get going now.....jeesh....!

Well, there is someone else for Elmer's class....I try the same speech,

she was not buying it.

She is a regular and I recognized her from class.

She was like, Elmer was gone last week...he will be here today.

Me and Shell were like, no the schedule says..........

By now I am starting to panic...I am getting crazy eyes...because one thing I didn't

mention before is that I forgot to bring a triple A battery for the mic which I am now wearing and 

speaking into for great fun and effect.

I had to borrow Elmer's battery out of his little cubby drawer

(shown below...haven't got mine yet)

Oh my heck!!!

I have got to get all this crap off the stage and get his battery put back if he is 

going to be walking in here in TWO MINUTES!!!

I am racing off to make the change.

Shelly was like Meliss.....HE IS NOT COMING....TRUST ME!

Let's just do it.

Heck no....I am not insane!

Just as I finish placing my bench in a normal place on the floor by Shelly...

Low and Behold, in walks our teacher.....ELMER!

We clap and cheer....look here he is.....fantastic....we were worried....and wondering....!

 Anyway, we had a fine step class....but I am one day closer to my own class and still 

have not really tested it out.

Our next plan is for Wed.....Keep your fingers crossed.
