well, here’s what happens when you’re feeling a bit hyperactive (like after a combat class) and chatting with someone on MSN and webcam doesn’t work properly.
I didn’t know this, but when you’re feeling in a strange mood, you start doing silly things like taking pictures instead with the webcam…….once you find out what that button on top of it does.
And once this starts happening……things go downhill from there….
I’ve done it! I’ve done it! And not just once, but TWICE. I just had to beat Sofie in the efforts to stand on the fitball….hehehe.
I have to say, I did take a few nasty falls out of it. I appear to not have broken anything, but I’m sure I’m gonna have to pay a visit to the chiro again, lol! Don’t try this one at home boys and girls!
It was quite amusing tonight after my last PT client I started teaching her how to kneel on the ball, and then this shortly progressed to us trying to stand. We were then joined by Craig who also attempted to do it. I hope people don’t get hurt outta this! lol
Unfortunately I had no witnesses when I did it, as I did it on my trusty new ball at home. So I’m going to have to refine my technique so that I can demonstrate it to others…….but after doing it once, I did make sure I could do it again, after a further couple of hard falls. Ouch. I haven’t fallen like that since the last time I fell off a horse……which was when I broke my leg. It’s scary, but somehow exhilirating, trying to battle the ball and stand on it!
But it can be done 😀
This may not be for everybody, but you’ll know if you understand what it means.

On the night of Monday 21 May, 5 detainee’s of a mental institution escaped and entered the gym at Zest Modbury. One, who is a BODYBALANCE instructor, took a class while the other 4 stood gleefully at the front whilst the remainder of the class were held hostage and participated in fear…..or entertainment…..one of the two!
Throughout the class none of the nerds threatened any of the particpants, and at the conclusion of the class they were captured and arrested by police, to the relief of all members at Modbury Zest. All evidence of the nerds has now been removed from the scene and is being washed, dried and folded into boxes to take to the salvation army. Any photographic evidence of the event has been confiscated by police and after being analysed will then be destroyed as per military procedures.
Any witnesses of the event are urged to find their own psychiatrists for counselling, since we have our hands full already with all staff now requiring medication.
Hopefully peace can return soon to the peaceful town of Modbury.
Well, I guess I haven’t posted all week. I can’t quite remember if there’s been anything of value to write about…….but I did learn a new trick today c/o Sofie 😉
We’ve had a stand in TTP shopping centre all week and today I did a shift on the stand with Sofie. She had been practising all day trying to kneel on the fitball we had there since there’s apparently a Club Trainer at one of the other Zests that can stand on a fit ball without assistance. How? I dunno, but I was curious about trying to do it, or at least kneel.
After a few attempts I started to figure it out and quickly figured out how to balance myself. Yay! Then I had some of the shoppers asking me to “do it again”….lol. Well it’s a new party trick I can play around with!
I did kind of explore trying to stand on it, but didn’t go far with that. I could only visualise myself coming crashing down and breaking something. I’m not gonna let it beat me though……..I wanna be able to do that trick one day!
Went to my trusty chiro today for the first time in quite a while. I have a lot of respect for my chiro, since not only did he help rehabilitate me from my back injury all those years ago, but he’s also helped me in the last couple of years with my shoulder injury. He did deep muscle tissue work on my shoulder and gave me immediate relief that I hadn’t had in quite some time. He’s also American which means those guys get significantly more training than our normal chiro’s here in Australia……and also, well he’s just smart and good at what he does.
So I went to him because not only have I noticed that my body is feeling uneven lately in my stretches in BB etc, but also I’m tired of my major physical limitations during any BB pose that requires me to have my hands over my head. I want to improve these poses, but I can’t lift my hands up very high. I suspected it was either my triceps (unlikely), my latts or as Corey in NZ suggested to me it could be my thoracic spine.
Once again I was hugely impressed with the knowledge he was able to pass on to me. Despite the fact I do many latt stretches and there are also plenty of latt stretches in balance, he showed me some adjustments in how to do a very specific latt stretch. OMG, yep they’re tight. This is awesome cuz now I know I can work on improving whereas before I wasn’t getting anywhere anymore. He also did some adjustments of my spine and neck so hopefully I’ll feel super even again in BB.
Most of all he’s been super impressed by the changes I’ve made over the years. He saw me way back when I could hardly stand on my feet for long periods than 10-30 mins. He saw me when I was a lot more overweight, and couldn’t bend over very far. I think I’m probably his fittest patient cuz I’m seeing him for fine tuning what I do and improvement…….not for extreme injury and pain like most of his patients.
Anyway, next 2 weeks lots of latt stretches. The great thing is I don’t need to hold them long, just a couple of secs. The frequency is more important he said, so I have to try to remember to do them several times a day. I can handle that, I think……..if it’s going to make a difference!
Dad is still in hospital and we’re still none the wiser about his prognosis. They’ve been doing more tests, but they’re unable to do a biopsy due to the location the tumor is in. Operation is out of the question aswell since it’s sitting right on the brain stem, an operation would likely completely paralyse him so that he wouldn’t even be able to breathe.
Without knowing what the the tumor is it’s difficult to know how to treat it and they’ve even started talking about the possibility of Multiple Sclerosis aswell. The good news is that one of the treatments for both a tumor and MS is steriods…….so on steriods he is to help relieve the symptoms.
It’s gonna be a long journey I think, and I’m starting to deal with the initial shock. I think my family is too.
I’d like to thank everybody who’s expressed support and thanks around the world and also locally. It’s actually been really amazing for me to have so much support everywhere, I’m a lucky girl!
This week is full of highs and lows, to the extreme. After the great holiday and then the bad news, now I get back to work to find out I achieved number 1 Club Trainer in the state last month. I got 2nd a couple of months ago, now I’m number 1. It was the last thing I was thinking about though so it was a pleasant surprise.
I’m trying to make the most of all the good things that are still happening…
oh no, I just found out today that my dad has a brain tumor. I’m in shock, I don’t really know what to do/think yet. I guess this turns a lot of things around. Not much else to say as there’s not enough details nor info on how bad it is yet. 🙁
well, the flight home was rather uneventful. First time I’ve flown Air New Zealand and somehow they seem quite “different”. Can’t put my finger on it, but I could just tell I wasn’t flying QANTAS or Virgin. Maybe it was the accents, lol. Our flight got delayed for an hour due to heavy fog….first time that’s happened to me.
I didn’t get too air sick thank gawd, but flying still takes a lot out of me. I always land feeling tired, nauseous and incredibly dehydrated. Came home and snoozed for a while…..only meant to sleep for about an hour or so, but ended up sleeping for 3 or 4 hours 😳
I can tell I worked out hard at the filmings, my legs, OUCH! Particularly my hamstrings, they hurt the most, and I guess sitting still for 5 hours didn’t help. Anyway, it’s all systems back on tomorrow with my BP/BA/BB triple. Eeeek, I hope I can remember which is my right leg!
