Today was just a fantastic day overall. I started it with this yummy concoction. The BEST paleo friendly pancakes I've had yet. No fighting with almond butter and a really fluffy, true-to-pancake experience.
Then, off to GymNasty class which is quickly growing on me. It was definitely tough and my shoulders are going to be shot tomorrow, but it's definitely a good forum to work on skills. I noticed my ring rows are getting a lot stronger, and I'm gradually able to move my feet closer and closer to the wall while keeping the height of the rings the same. So where does the grace come in? Oh yes. During tripod practice, I fell off the freaking box. Yep. I failed trying to push myself up and ended up half-somersaulting, half flailing off the box. Poor Kia. She didn't know what to do with me. I was fine, or course, but it must have been amusing to watch.
When I got home, I had a message from Jay asking if I wanted to sign up for the Throwdown in a couple weeks. I'd been thinking about it. Debating. Telling myself I'm crazy for even considering it. After this morning's fall off the box, I know I'm crazy. But I'm signed up. A couple other girls and I have a pact where if we do something stupid we'll disguise each other's identity to avoid embarrassment. At least there's a plan in place. Now it'll just be a matter of how I make a fool of myself. But competing is a good challenge, or something, right? And I know there's some saying out there about life beginning at the end of my comfort zone? This one's gonna take a lot of guts and not the same kind I've been talking about the past few days. Wish me luck!
