So far today:

  • OIP/HF/OIP - x2 - I know you only *need* one set of these, but the repetition is really helping me to remember the flow. I’ll probably keep doing 2x until I get the Total System — assuming my coupon ever freakin’ makes it to Florida. Nah, I’m not bitter. Really.
  • PBS - FINALLY, I’m starting to remember all the moves. Well, except all the head stuff, but that’s what notes are for, right?
  • Plie Series - I felt better about the form for this one today. I did, however, keep having to remind myself to KLT and tuck my hips. At *least* I felt that my body remained in a parallel plane to the wall, and that’s something.
  • Reach/Scoops
  • Hoe Downs

After Maya wakes from her nap, I plan to take the dog out for a longish walk (tucking my hips, lifting my ribs, and KLT all through, grin) with Maya in the Ergo on my back. I need some sunshine, even if it means squinting.

In a mere five days, now, I have Lasik to correct my rather poor vision. I’ve been wearing my glasses full-time for the past 1-1/2 weeks, and I am SO tired of them. It sounds like a weak complaint, but seriously, not seeing well or wearing my glasses both put a big damper on my ability to work out well. I can’t wait.

Later…

After Maya’s nap, we walked appx 3 miles, hips tucked, shoulders back, ribcage up, and doing KLT as much as I can figure out to do while in motion. My outer hips ache. 3 miles in normal walking is a very, very simple thing compared to 3 miles in T-Tapp form. Oh.My.God.

This evening, we went down to Albuquerque for a little shopping, specifically on the hunt to find a pair of shoes for the small person in the house. In the Skechers store, I didn’t find anything for Maya (will someone PLEASE let the designers know that girls’ shoes don’t HAVE to be pink?!?), but I noticed that the same Energy 2s that ShoeBuy.com sells for $48 were on sale for $35. Not bad, but that wasn’t enough to sway me into buying shoes just yet (I figured after a solid month of Tapping, I’d have earned them).

Then…I browsed the clearance rack, and what to my eyes should appear, but pair of Energy 2-Reflex in size 8. Navy Blue/Blue, marked down to $29.95…then 50% off that. So yes, folks, I have joined the masses who own Skechers for T-Tapping. But I bought mine for $16, *including* tax. Nyah.
