I’ve got 4 classes to update you on! But first, a housekeeping note — when you Tweet about the Core Fusion Challenge, please use the hashtag #CFchallenge. Thanks!
On Thursday at 7:30 pm, I took Jamie’s Core Fusion class for the first time. The class was PACKED. A packed class is usually a sign of a great teacher, and that certainly was the case! We did this series of side planks unlike anything I have ever done before, with all different movements and really staying in the side planks for a long time. It was a nice change of pace!
Thighs was also different, with a series of leg lifts that felt great but was still hard. Of course, the rest of the thigh series burned like usual. I do like when we do some thigh work in second position, which we did last night (with our legs a bit wider).
Butt was harder than ever (until the next day  — getting to that soon). We did butt moves with our hands and knees on the floor. While we worked on our right side, my left was BURNING. Even more so when we turned out right leg out. OMG THE BURN. I’ve never felt burn in my butt like that. The other side was tough too, but my left side still hurt much more than my right side of my butt. I think that Wednesday’s standing pretzel really did a number on me!
Abs went pretty well, I think I am getting better in my C Curve. A great class! I felt so fresh and rejuvinated after, and it was such a gorgeous night in NYC (a scorching 40 degrees!) that I walked home! I felt so great walking home after class.
I also felt extra great because I was still riding on the high of my friend noticing that I was more muscular. The classes, while still just as hard, all seem a little . . . better now that I know there are results!
Those words made me more motivated to do my best in class. So Friday morning I went at 7 am (after just having gone at 7:30 the night before!) to take Kate’s class. There was a pregnant woman in the class — due in a few weeks. Good for her!
I am getting better at planks. Even better, my arms are getting stronger. I was able to use 3 lb weights for so much more of the arm section today! Usually, I use 3 lb for biceps and 2 for all else. But today I held on to the 3s much longer and felt strong! I love how this is an improvement I can easily see. I am getting stronger!
Thighs were brutal. I struggled and had to stand a few times. I just don’t enjoy this section at all.
And then butt. As I said above, my left butt muscle was killing me. Today we did butt with our hands and knees on the floor again but the movements were different. Kate said she was trying out something that another Core Fusion teacher just taught her.My left side was hurting so much from yesterday, and I kept pushing through, and it got harder and harder and my face crumpled up and then I was crying. Yes. I CRIED during glute work today. Only for a second but WOW. It hurt so bad. Yet so good.
The right side was slightly easier since I didn’t strain it as much last night, and luckily no tears were shed. It was still hard though!
Abs were also challenging. I decided on this day to forgo trying too hard to get into the low C Curve and instead focus on getting some ab work done regardless. My abs felt like they got a tough workout.
And that was that. Class ended and I felt awesome for the rest of the day. I FELT STRONG!
On Saturday I went to two classes at exhale! My first was with Catherine, the health counselor who is working with me throughout this challenge. She is so motivating to be in class with! I pushed through and did my best. My left butt muscles was still hurting but I took it a bit easier on that side. Abs were especially hard, and Catherine got behind me to get me in the proper C Curve. I did my best but wow it burned. Then I went right to a Yoga Level 1 class and I really enjoyed it! It was my first time having Diana (yoga Diana, not CF Diana) as a teacher and she was absolutely wonderful. Yoga was such a wonderful stretch immediately after Core Fusion. I didn’t feel out of place at all and the time actually flew by. I was not bored during yoga!
All caught up! Today I’m off to Core Fusion Yoga! I’ll update you on that and my half marathon training runs soon — including today’s KathEats blogger meetup run! Â I’ve also been having some thoughts on the gym, as a result of the Core Fusion challenge, that I want to discuss very soon.
Please be on the lookout on Tuesday when I post the amazing list of auction items I have set for you all to bid on Dori’s Shiny CHARITY AUCTION. The auction will be on Thursday, January 21. Items and rules will be listed on Tuesday!

January 18, 2010 at 11:23 am (15 years ago)aaahhh – in some odd way, it warmed my heart that you cried. I would never want you to be in pain but I love that you are doing something that is pushing yourself like it is! AWESOME! I can’t wait to get my DVD.
I ordered it on Friday and last night I was so excited I went back to the website to see if I could find shipping information 🙁 nada…I’m too impatient!

January 18, 2010 at 11:40 am (15 years ago)Haha I love being in pain enough from working out to cry–AFTERWARD, of course! Not during the actual crying. 🙂 Good for you though! As long as you know your limits and don’t injure yourself, sometimes a good burn really helps motivate you!

Then I met my fianc and had one nightmare, and he just wrapped his arms around

of how long distance relationships CAN work! I met my boyfriend
about 3 years ago over the net, which was wierd for me because I was always the one making fun of other people
for meeting that way. Well for about a year we became really good
friends and one day we decided to meet. I live about a 10 hour drive away from him.
I still hug all my girlie friends, the straight
ones and the queer ones. I still sleep over at their houses and hang out with them.
I’ve even hit on a few of them when I was a bit inebriated

I would think it would scare people into NOT having sex.
Although I found all of that enlightening, I didn’t find
it helpful. I’m all for sexual experimentation, and

believe the reason religious questions come up is because theoretically, a president is representing their nations
best interests. If the president is a member of say, a radical
Islam sect (Mujahadeen, got his education in a madrass in Pakistan), I could see why it may
be an issue.The other reason it is asked is because people still (somewhat incorrectly) tie religion to morals theoretically, in some
people’s minds, a “good Christian” President would be better than a “good Atheist” President, because people think they
have a firmer understanding of the moral compass that is found in the faith.And regarding sexuality, religion, gender,
I would say it does have some effect when considering
personal bias, and thus, the questions are fair.
