Pat myself on my Magenta head.....

My experience at Our Club today made me feel so good.

I taught a very well received body sculpt class

this morning.

Before it began I was making my way around the room,

meeting any new comers that were there and 

talking w/ them about modifications they may want to make, etc.

One lady came up to me and asked it this was really 

a "Body Sculpting" class.

Absolutely.

Are you sure??? 

 because if I had wanted an aerobics class I would have gone to one.

 Yep, I am sure that you are in the right place my lady.
Another thing that made class fun today was that a work mate of
Kevin's participated.
He is an older gentleman...
he came straight up to me, Hey, I know Stick!
(Kev's call sign)
Kev had told me Ike was planning on coming at some point.
Very Cool.
I was doing something a little different today,
I had everyone make a really high step, one with about 7 risers under it.
They were all really nervous and not wanting to welcome
something different.
I said just relax, we will all be just fine.
I showed them how we would be using them -
first as a guide for hover squats,
then we would also be stepping up on them some,
anyone with knee concerns could just do them on the floor
or come up to the stage and use the edge,
but mostly, we were going to use them as a sweet seat to do
some heavy duty upper body work.
So.......felt great about class.
I had worked hard at compiling a
rigorous, but basic lower, upper body, and abdominal routine.
I have finally figured how to organise, write up, and keep my
workouts.  This is very good news, because up until now they have
been on loose papers, in little booklets, on scraps, taped to the back of
this page or that....etc.
Now I have a system so I can return easily to favorite classes
and pick and choose tid bits to add to new ones.
Sorry, I know I am rambling...I'm getting to it....
When class ended I had several
participants come cruising up to the stage to tell me
delicious things I very much wanted to hear.
Totally made my day.
The gal who was concerned that it wasn't really a body sculpt class
was the most passionate in her accolades.
She said that was the first "real" sculpting class she had been to in years!
She went on, but my favorite part was that she said she had finally
found her class, and that I better not go anywhere now that
she found me.
Judy said that this was her favorite class yet.
You were spot on with everything today.
It was very challenging, but also presented in a safe controlled manner!!!
etc.
I'll take it!!!
I used my Ragnar Music Mix today....just to get crazy.
Man that was fun.
........................
unkay....
then I came home, decided it was well beyond the time that I needed
to put some color on my hair.
Well, helllllllo magenta!
My bad.
My hair has been much lighter than it has been in the past,
and I have been loving it.
Surprise, surprise....the color deposits
much differently on lighter hair, i.e. blonde tones.

You probably cannot tell the brightness in this shot.

Take my word for it.

I am not loving it, and was very nervous

to go out in public.

but you know what,

you will never know it when you see me.

I am going to act like I meant to do it and that I love it.

I am going to hold my head high and just work it until it washes out.
(just wanted you to know the back story....and that I am totally faking it, 
and I have not lost my mind)

McCauley came home w/ wide eyes....

mom your hair is soooo beautiful.

Ethan said mom, that is so wrong.

It is just wrong.

That is what some young hippie would do to her hair.

I know son.
