My it's quiet here today.
Good News: I got a 100 on my test last night!
I was nervous because I didn't study. I was too busy trying to remember the massage sequence for after the test. We had to massage and be graded by an upperclassmen.
I brought in a crock pot to heat wet towels. I added peppermint oil to the towels. It was the first time integrating heated items into my massage. It worked great!!!! My grader had neck issues. So, I placed a hot towel on her neck while I worked on her face. Then I used a few to help warm and scrub her feet. She LOVED the entire massage.
I was so nervous. For one I had a lot of left over nervousness from the test. I did my best to breath through it and keep my hands soft and gliding like a glove. It was hard when sweat started rolling down my face and body. Thankfully, I had an extra dry washcloth to wipe it off in between one handed strokes. At the halfway point, she told me, "I've got goosebumps." So, I'm thinking maybe I'm not going deep enough???? Then she told me it was because she loved every time I touched her. What a confidence booster!!!
She gave me a 100 and left praising comments. She told me to not change a thing for my final test Monday night. She couldn't think of one single thing for me to improve!!!! There's always room for improvement!!! Afterwards, she was telling her classmates about the massage. She came back to find me and tell me that she wouldn't tell them my name because she wants me all to herself. LOL She also wanted me to show her how I massaged her feet and ask how I learned all this different stuff including Thai massage techniques... All of Patti's mentoring surely paid off!!!
Thanks for letting me brag!!!

Morning Coolers,
Today was a stretch day for me so StretchX was the ticket!
Finished the one on one with Tony last night, and my legs and butt really needed the stretch this morning. Felt like an old lady getting out of bed. All I can say about the spitting in the DVD! I have seen and heard my DH do worse things. So having Tony spit in a workout is nothing! He actually made me laugh after the second spit, because he said he hit his neighbor on the head.
Wish DH came home from his work jaunt without a cold. He was so noisy this morning!
Jeanette, The DVD is an unedited workout, so that is why the spitting is in it. Really didn't bother me at all. Circuit Max is a more intense version of Cardio & Weights. If that helps any! That little smilie with the whip really got you into the cleaning didn't it. Have a good visit with your Mom!
Wendy, Congratulations on your test! Sounds like you are really doing a great job, if the person wants you all to herself!
Debra, Yep DH was back, and sick! Talk about YUCK! I can put up with Tony spitting anytime, and not have to listen to DH hacking up a lung! I just hope he doesn't pass this dang cold onto me!
Patricia, Glad you where able to find a dentist. Work those abs, work those abs! Can't believe I'm saying this, but I just might pull out Ab Ripper X! I have not done that thing in a long long time! Sort of got sick of it after the 3rd round! The exercises are taken up a notch, but he gives you breaks between the workouts unlike in PlyoX!
Have a great day!

When you're finished with the bathrooms, you can come over and teach my girls how to clean mine! You're not the only one who thought that about Debra's XDH. I thought the same exact thing when I watched the video. Yep! It is sure his loss!!!! Believe me, I'll be carefully picking my clients too. The maximum clients that I am willing to massage right now is six a week. I don't have time for people with whom I don't click. You know, I thought that too before I started school.... How will I feel massaging someone or a man. Really, there's is so much going on through my mind while I'm massaging... How is the fascia moving, how do the muscles feel, how are they reacting to this pressure, am I meeting my client's needs, and what's the next stroke! I don't have time to pay attention to body image. It's very different type of touch. And, I've found men are easier to massage. They relax faster. I haven't had any inappropriate comments. They prepare us at school with how to handle inappropriate comments. If anyone, man or women, crossed a boundary in a sexually explicit way, I would immediately end the massage, not rebook, and document it in my notes. My, you had a busy day!!!! How exciting for your mom to get a new laptop!!!

Do any of your errands include driving to Philly or DC? If not, I don't want to hear about them. Seriously, one of those errands best include a drive by to the attorney's office!!! So the Russian ExPat is planning a trip back to the USA? With everything going on in Russia, pretty soon they'll claim him as their own and not let him leave! LOL on keeping draped. My girl wore shorts last night. I was so happy to not have to worry about her trying to expose anything!!!!
Patricia
Are you distributing your weight evenly while you are doing push-ups? Is your back rounded or your scapulae retracted? You want to make sure your back is flat, your shoulders are not pulling towards your face, your scapulae aren't pulling together or apart too much, your hands aren't forward of your shoulders, and push your weight towards your toes too. If you still are having shoulder pain, add 10 reps of light weight/bands rotator cuff exercises and extra back work.
Laurie
Oooooo Tony's One on One Legs sounds good!!! I'm with you. I couldn't care if he spits or the music is from a boom box. It's the workout that reigns supreme!!!!
Kim
How are your legs feeling after a day's rest?
Okay, I've gotta get moving. Have a great day everyone!!!

Sorry, I don't have time for a long post. Ended up being a crazy evening, no chance to do a workout, trying to leave things all ready for the weekend for DH and the kids!
We're leaving early tomorrow! I'll have to leave the house by 5:30 am maybe will nap on the bus. I'll catch up probably next Tuesday.
Have a great weekend! Kim

Hi,
Had a good time with my Mom today. We bought clothes, then had a nice lunch at Mongolian Grill, then over to Best Buy where she bought a laptop. After getting home, I went to the golf course and practiced some putting and chipping. Tomorrow will be an out of town golf trip.
Kim, have a great time shopping. Hope you find some nice things.
Wendy, good to know that you are prepared for any perverts that want to be massaged. Hopefully, that will never happen to you. Great score on your test!!! Bet the hot towels were nice. Do you play relaxing music too? Sweat was rolling down your face? Wow, you must really be working hard. Bet your arm muscles are getting strong. Are you the star pupil in class? Is having hot towels like Debra bribing the class with candy?
Laurie, I can sure relate to feeling like an old lady getting out of bed. I never really had any aches and pains until recently. These hips sure need to get stretched out. I've been pretty diligent about stretching after cycling and after my workouts. Darn, hope your DH gets over his cold quickly and doesn't pass anything on to you. You seem to stay pretty healthy.
Hoping to get a workout in tomorrow night. Didn't happen today.
Nighty, night.
