Kiss Kiss

Absolutely nothing to do with fitness, health or emotional eating. Just a groovy track about being a bad girl with a bit of a reputation!

Since Carolyn jogged my memory, I've been going on a delightful Youtube journey looking at film clips from all of my favourite 70s and 80s bands - so much for working on deep rooted issues or blogging about anything meaningful (but Kirst, that will come!).

Anyway today has been mixed. On the downside I managed to lose my very expensive mobile/PDA but on the upside, I have very little left on my contract so it's not all bad (and maybe I'll get an IPhone to match the Mac, but not sure yet - if anyone has any opinions on them, let me know what you think). This set off a wave of what I would call nervous eating as I madly phoned Telstra and got the service disconnected etc. Not really thrilled with myself as not very hungry for dinner, but onwards and upwards

The other feature of my day involved having my CBD RPM class assessed by Maka, who was a Les Mills Assessor, but now heads up the RPM side of Finishing First (which is Fitness First's in house instructor training department). I've known Maka for a long time and we're friends which made things a little less nerve wracking - what I was impressed by was Maka's encyclopedic knowledge of the RPM program and his grasp on the technical side of things.

All in all, the assessment went pretty well - the good points - I'm a "natural coach" (wahoo!) and good technician( ie generally good smooth technique) but there were a few small things like amount of bend in elbow during racing and some slight modification of position in Standing Attack that need a little fine tuning. But as Maka said, now that I know, I'll have changed and improved by the very next class, so all good. I now just have to find someone to video my class by early next week to send off with my application.

So with all of that going on, I'm feeling emotionally charged and drained all at the same time - so I'm going to take a nice warm shower, curl up with my fluffy slippers and watch "The Amazing Race" (not bad for a former KISS crazed wannabe bathroom 'ho!)

Talk to Me (All I want is a little conversation)


Yeah, all I want is a little conversation! I was inundated with the response to my "Fierce Conversation" post and it was great to see so many people popping in a comment about things.

So inspired by my spaceman Ace Frehley (especially for Carolyn!) I've decided that I want you all to "Talk to Me" about issues you want to see blogged about (I could start with 'why did KISS have to take off their makeup - in their case makeup definitely maketh the men..) so leave me a comment or contact me via The Fitness Solution - I would love to hear from you, fitness related or not.

Today you now know that I'm a not so closet KISS fan - "Unmasked" was the first KISS purchase I made and I just thought Ace Frehely in his Spacesuit was just the bomb and I was in all of Grade Six!

Fitness and loving life wise, I've had a terrific day - started off with a cracker of an RPM class - we were small in numbers but made up for it in sweat. Then teaching Bodystep - was rather chuffed with myself for learning 5 new tracks and giving it a good caning. Miss Shelley (sans itchy MM balls) turned up to step with me and listen to me sing a poor rendition of "The Way You Make Me Feel" and then we both gave Lynne's Yoga Class a go - this was harder than I thought and my abs and shoulders got a thorough pasting with all those Downward Dogs. The meditation part was definitely the highlight and I left with a rather fuzzy warm sense of joie de vivre.

Then off to quickly slam down lunch with hubby and off to choose bathroom tiles which we did in record time before it was home to pick up the girls and take Miss G to ballet.

All that activity today has given me a wicked appetite and I feel like I haven't stopped chowing down all day which is always a bit disconcerting but it will even out in the end. But better to listen to genuine belly hunger and have a feed than to go over the edge and eat up eating a whole load of stuff that doesn't honour your beliefs or your belly!

Started with a Little Kiss, like this...


Seeing Kerryn is "Walking This Way", thought I would keep adding to the lyrics!

Taught Bodystep this morning - woohoo!!!! and trained my puny chest - it hasn't had any work for well over a year due to injury and surgery - so I gave my pecs a good reminder of where they were this morning - just home now with a belly full of oats and Melbourne Breakfast tea, so all is nice in my Universe right now. Meeting Miss Shelley for lunch - judging by her blog I'll be looking for the chick with the big guns :)

Anyway, who loves the rock band "Kiss"? I just think hairy men with make up are classic!
