Diana Dennis Daily Diary

Trained clients from 7:30 Am to 7:30 Pm today. I trained my Shoulders on my own today. I’m having a bit of pain in the left shoulder after my work out. I think I over train because of the Silk climbing. It’s a bit confusing because Kristi says I need to Climb the silks and reherse my routine at least 5 times a day, 5 days a week. There is so much upper body involvement that I’m sure overtraining is inevitable. What DO I Do? I want to be in great shape for the show and I also want to look professional in my presentation. It is quite a challenge to get the right balance. Kristi said that I am becoming more flexable. YES!!! That’s a Great thing! I had another really good diet day today. Frank Hillibrand helped me figure out how to train my abs from a completely upside down position and without a board support today. Ouch! But it’s gonna work!

Today I started work at 7:30 AM. Trained Clients one right after the other till 4:30 PM. I was able to slip all my meals in. My clients are great about my taking a few min to put my meal in the microwave and then eating while I train them. How else am I going to eat every two and a half hours. I left the Gym and went to my studio where I met Kristi and Web site Wendy. Kristi my Silk climbing teacher. She helped me stretch then train on the silks. Wendy helped with the live streaming camera so that all our members could watch. Nice to have my members there.  I love it!

Don’t ask me how far we run. I really don’t know. I do know that at this point we have to stop a lot. This is our third week of Monday running. More like walk and run, then walk some more. We used to do Zoomba class on Monday’s at 5:00 PM. It was hurting my knees, all that twisting and jumping. Now we run. I started my day at 8:00 AM and didn’t get home till shortly after 8:00 PM.

I am in the process of cooking, answering e-mail, updating my Daily Dairy, Updating our Forum, washing my hair, giving Bubba some attention, preparing my food for tomorrow, getting my clothes ready for tomorrow and oh, a load of laundry. Did I say Stretch, I need to stretch too. Then a really nice relaxing Bubble Bath before I slide into my nice clean sheets that smell of Tea Rose.

Sweet Dreams Everyone.

Today Freddie Doumani (my training and performance partner) had another Tango lesson. We are getting much better! We actually felt like we were doing the Tango instead of the Tangle. Sean (our dance instructor) feels that we are doing well and that we should have it down beautifully by July 27th 2012. OH, oops LOL, 2008 this year that is. After Tango class I did a Photo Shoot for Mixed Martial Arts World Champion Lynn Alvarez. The photo’s came out GREAT!!! My Web was being hung in the middle of the Cage downstairs where I can now Choreograph my Web routine and practice.

Once again Dr Irene Bourgault talks Diana into going to Birkham Yoga at 10:00 AM Saturday. We were met there by friends from the gym, (Two very large muscular men). this created more amusement for Irene and I. They only made it about half way through the class. Freddy (my training partner) said he didn’t know which was worse, water boarding or Birkham Yoga. LOL I did much better this time. I was more flexable and only had one panic attack instead of several. Of course the guys thought the Gestapo was shouting directly at them but this time she was missing the mic., so she wasn’t as loud. I then went home to shower. A friend gave me a day at the Green Valley Spa so I went there and had a Swedish massage, facial and a foot rub. IT WAS WONDERFUL!!!I really needed it! I then went out to dinner with Sam and Sheila Harding. It was Sam’s Birthday so all their friends and family were there.
