I tried the intro to trapeze a few weeks ago, but his was a lot more intense! I went to an aerial fabric dancing workshop. This was very challenging but a lot of fun. Especially because have a problem with being up high (I wouldn't say I am afraid of heights- I just happen to panic when I notice I am up high that's all). I don't think I would have been able to do this had I not gone climbing/bouldering a few weeks ago and got a little more comfortable with my strength and trusting myself. Also I officially climbed the rope at the gym for the first time the day before, again the up high thing. So the first picture I am doing the 'gazelle' (?)oh I wish I had pointed my toes. The next pictures I don't know what the moves were called but I got to do a drop. You get your legs wrapped in the fabric (the diaper- wow uncomfortable- you can see my butt being squished), and you have to pull yourself up, pull your legs through, cross and pull legs through again. Then when you are level you lean forward and then you 'drop' and your knees catch the fabric and you dangle! I had a hard time getting dropped at first then someone told me to channel my Dirty Dancing swan jump/pose and I got it! Scary but fun! I really liked this class, wonder how I can cram this into my schedule?
Today's marks the first day of a new diet experiment. Well not entirely new, but kinda. Lets do a little back tracking. On my dieting/lifestyle changes in around October 2009 after attending CF Nutrition cert with Robb Wolf. I decided to give Paleo a serious go. Everyone had a blog talking about all these great changes upon going Paleo, weight loss, feeling great, performing well, the world becoming a new a brighter world. Well I quite frankly didn't really have any of that. I didn't really lose any weight. Performance did well, but I had never plateaued, so was it diet or just getting better at CF? I will say I think it did help with my recovery and soreness, but other than that I didn't FEEL any different. Other then when I cheated, then, then I paid a mighty price...but only sometimes. My stomach became bipolar. One day good eating 'good', another bad while eating 'good'. And both of the opposites there too....
