Okay not really but I am bursting with excitement over everything I have to share.
I just don't have so much time right now.
One of the things I want to talk to you about is my fabulous weekend with Tracy Anderson and a bunch of girls from Instagram. It was like nothing I have ever experienced. I wasn't going to write about it at all because I didn't want anyone to feel hurt or left out, but then I realized I was just being selfish. How many times had I asked you my brilliant and noble readers to share your experiences with me so I could share them back with all of you? Only like a million. I was living vicariously and it was awesome! Now it's my turn to share. Plus this blog is so teeny tiny and intimate it's just us and I know you guys might want to know how it went.
And I totally want to talk about how that has affected the way I see and approach streaming. Don't worry, this blog isn't going to be all about the Method again, but I STILL love it and I love Tracy even more. How is that possible??
I also want to talk to you about how... well you know how Meta ended and then we all kind of just wondered what we should do next or how to proceed. So some of us did Continuity, some stuck with videos, some moved on to other things, but like life was never really the same? I for one had gained back half the weight that I'd lost but was maintaining that weight forever so it was cool. But yet it really wasn't?
Well I gotta share that I recently hit my weight-loss goal. Yeah, I eventually got that other half to come off again and I totally want to tell you about it. (It only bloody took over two fucking years!) It's like weight-loss in your midlife is so not the same game as when you're 20 or even 30. I have pics of food and everything. You think I've had the time to get them off the phone and onto the computer yet tho? Oh hell no.
So if you're still here and you are interested in hearing about some of this stuff, then stay tuned because I swear it's coming. I had thought things would simmer down in October and that hasn't turned out to be the case, but November might be at least more normal. I'll definitely be here for the holidays, that I can promise you.
Thanks for hanging out with me, even though I haven't been around much. I still love you!!

Must share! I look forward to hearing how you did it! I haven"t been around or a while either. Since falling off the Tracy bandwagon, I have been doing Pure Barre, which I love, but still struggling with that last 5 pounds and it has been two years for me too!! I am still all ears to hear about the method, and anything that helps shed these midlife pounds! Post the food pics! Still love you too! Looking forward to your next post.:)

Hey Laura, this week I swear it! I'm glad you're doing a workout that keeps you going back, that's the most important thing.
DeleteCongratulations on making your goal! I'm really glad you've decided to share, and am looking forward to hearing more about the weekend! I gotta tell you when the picture of the Instagram #TAmily popped up I had to take a minute to see if what I thought I was seeing was really what I was seeing! Then I had this moment of over the top little kid joy when I realized you were all together, in NYC, at the TA Studio...with Tracy! Oh my gosh!!! It was like seeing a Marvel poster with all your favorite superheroes together! So, so cool! Anyway, can't wait to hear more about the whole experience, and maybe get some tips on improving my streaming workouts. :)
ReplyDeleteNichoel, I would like to know your IG name so I can find you there too. I must confess that I shared your comment with the girls I did the vitality weekend with. You're just so genuine and great I wanted them to know!
DeleteSo yes, more sharing this week.
Hi Shan!! Oh my gosh, how did I miss this response way back in October? Gah!!! My Insta is heyholmes_ta. I was revisiting your blog today because I remember you writing about your experience with Dr. Junger's Clean diet, but had to reread the TA post because it still amazes me! Happy New Year! It's not too late for that is it? :)
DeleteHi hi hi hi hi! I've not been here is ages but I am delighted to see your comment and now I can find you on IG. That's fantastic! Thanks for sharing.

Shan I feel like I've missed a huge part of your life!! Just went onto Instagram only to see you having a REAL conversation with actual Tracy!! You have to tell all about your trip to see her and you definitely need to share your 'secret' formula for shifting the midlife midriff!

ReplyDeleteWhat I forgot to say is how happy I am for you! I saw your lovely face on TA's Instagram and was like, "Say What!?" Can't wait to get all the deets of what's going on in your world!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm always happy to see a new post so I'm just grateful for whenever they come!
Hi hi hi, Gia.
DeleteI so can't wait to share and it always makes me so happy to see you here.
We must get together more often.
I'm so excited to hear about it all! First off a HUGE, fist-pump, hoot-hoot, heck yes, hearty congratulations for accomplishing your goal. And I'm just dying to hear about the Tracy Anderson weekend. I bet it was dreamy. And sweaty. And bouncy. AKA ... amazing. Okay, perfect timing and inspiration...I need to get my arse on the mat and knock it out. (I'm still on year 3, and really loving it, but daaaaaaaaamn - the live streaming looks fun).

Myla,
DeleteI can't wait for you to come over to streaming. It's live, so you get water breaks and the music is better and you have time to put on your weights and everyone is sweating along with you instead of just watching Tracy look perfect like she does in continuity.
I love continuity do not get me wrong, but streaming is just more intense. More dancey. More energy. More fun.
