Wow! I haven't updated this in forever! Good news! I have stuck to ALL of my B~Day Resolutions :) i have been on a 3 day a week, 3 hour a day pole schedule for well over 6 months, & i can now do several inverts! Inverted Crucifix, Gemini, Scorpio, Cross Knee Release, Basic Butterfly, Cross Ankle Release, working on the Marley, Yogini & i just got my first Superman!
^^Elbow Grip^^
^^Gemini (outside leg hang)^^
^^Scorpio (inside leg hand)^^
^^a sweet bruise from my Yogini attempt^^
pole has been going great! my parents got me a crash mat for christmas so that should be here soon & i can start working some harder inverts & i will be able to get higher up the pole when i invert! I entered a pole competition in october, i was selected to compete but i pulled something in my shoulder & didn't get to :-( but it did help me to complete one more of my B-Day resolutions, i choreographed a routine for my submission video & one for my competition!
i wore shorts almost every day over the summer :-) with SPF 110 all over me so i stayed nice & pale just the way i like me :-D
i cut most of the HFCS out too!!! I also have been stretching a lot more but i am not as flexible as i would like to be. i wanted to start working on over splits 1•1•11 but thats less than a week away & i don't think i will be there by then, i am still working on being more flexible so it will happen soon :) i just found out that my pole idol Alethea Austin is making a stretching DVD & i am super excited about getting that soon! it is scheduled to be out near the end of January 2011! if anyone is interested it will be sold on alethea-austin.net . she is an awesome pole artist so check her out!
