Breathe
So, I have been thinking about changing the look of my nose for some time now. However, I do not have the funds to do this but I think keep thinking about it. I do not like the way my nose looks. What do you think?

Being a Native American, I have quite a bit of cartilage at the bottom. I used to get teased alot growing up because they used to call me, “Rubber Nose.” I hated it. I guess the older I get now, the more I really want to change my appearance. This brought me to this website I found that deals with Rhinoplasty or reconstruction or plastic surgery. Do I really want to have my nose broken for this? I have not had anything broken in my life yet. Oh, wait I chipped a bone in my hand does that count?
Anyways, I got to reading this website and I can get a non-surgical rhinoplasty. This procedure is less risky and I would not have to go under the knife so to speak. This procedure, though, I believe would be for opening up the airways more and not as I read for the complete removal of the cartilage that I am looking for. You make the interpretation on that one. Folks, you just don’t understand that I can wiggle the end of my nose in circles. I hate it. It says more people can go back to work after the procedure. I think I would have to go to the bar for a drink afterwards (low calorie of course, just one maybe).
Oh, I found it, they also do ethnic rhinoplasty for ethnic individuals. Yes, I love it. They talk about the cartilage thing too and reshaping the nose so it looks better on my profile. You know as well as I do that not everyone is the same and not all ethnic backgrounds are the same either. Some have the cartilage that I was talking about, some have the wide bridge, which I have a little and some have a hump on the nose that some people want to get rid of too. They can do that too. Sounds great.
It is important to be able to breathe when working out. Some people are mouth breathers. Are you a mouth breather? Have you even noticed? Take time to find your breathe and take notice on how you are breathing. You want to be able to tap into your lungs and get them to be utilized more like Lance Armstrong. If you are having trouble breathing you may need to check into rhinoplasty. I am seriously thinking about it.
Super Cardio
I just received my new DVD from Tony. It is called Super Cardio. I am so totally stoked on what he has in store for us.
Tony is one crazy individual but I do love his workouts. I did a cardio combo last night and I incorporated all the jabs, crosses, hooks, and uppercuts and then a touch of Turbos (Chalene Johnson) in there to raise the heart rate.
I love getting the heart rate up and working on the heart muscle. If you want your performance to improve you need to work that muscle too.
I will get back with you on the Cardio thing. I can’t wait to use it on my college students. They are going to die.

Doubles Week
I switched my routine from the Power 90x lean routine to Power 90x Doubles routine. why? Well, because along with my eyesight I have lost some brain cells along the way.
I thought with every cell in my being that I needed to push my self and add more cardio to my regimen. I do, really, if I want to get rid of the stuff that is covering what many have told me is the rectus abdominis aka six-pack to show, then I am going to have to do more cardio. Yuck! I hate to run. I don’t have time to go to the base and get on the spin bike or treadmill. I know I have said this before in the “What was I thinking” post. Why can’t I just shove an enama up my you know what and just get it over with? No, I couldn’t do that, I guess I will just have to eat bushels of apples, or is that bundles of apples?
Well, I have gone running twice this week. Two times too many this year. I feel alot better and my shins are aren’t talking to me as much. I guess that is good. Now, I was suppose to do my chest, shoulders and triceps on Monday also, but man I was really exhausted after my workout in the morning class. We really did work hard and I did not really want to because I knew I was suppose to do the Power 90x routine. I put it off. So, now I am behind and I did the routine today after my evening classes, which no one came for on Wednesday. Now, I will have to do the back and biceps tomorrow which was suppose to be just YogaX. Well, I have two Yoga classes to teach on Thurdady, so I will do those and figure out if I want to do the back and bicep routine after I have lunch with my friend. You know priorities. :)
I think I will do a little jogging tomorrow again, not too bad so I will keep it up. I will do my back and bicep routine. I really need to get my push-up routine going as well. When am I going to have time for all this blogging and working out? Urgh!
I do have a dead line and I am sticking to it. Just apples and yogurt. Oh, and I found an awesome protein drink too. it has a cinnamon taste to it. I love cinnamon.
No excuses.
You have to try this exercise!
Okay, so I did my shoulders and arms yesterday in the afternoon before my TurboKick workout. Well, I was so sad that no one showed up. You ever get the feeling that you are not good enough or that you are a bad teacher. That for sure is not me. I hate it when people don’t show. I really take it personally. I know I shouldn’t but I do. I am so passionate about fitness that it kills me that people don’t put themselves first and don’t feel like they have to exercise to live. Living is what it is all about. Feeling good about yourself is what life is about. Not hearing the words from the doctor telling you “You need to workout or you will die”, that should be enough for some people. I still did my TurboKick workout by myself so that I could practice a round to teach next Tuesday. I needed the cardio anyhow. Then, I taught the Body Chizel class right after that. We did one exercise for upper body, then one exercise for middle, and then one exercise for legs. Then, started over again. It was pretty intense. My arms were on fire. I had to use a smaller weights though, cause I knew right after my workout with Tony, they would be dying. I am getting stronger though.
Well, Monday I taught my Body Chizel class to my normal morning group. Did I say normal? They are definitely special. They make me laugh. We did some shoulders about two sets. We did standing alternating shoulder presses for about 16 and then put them together and did another 16. We did front raises alternating for 16 and then put them together for another 16. We did rear flys alternating for 16 and put them together. Okay, so we did two sets of those. After the two sets I really like to feel the burn in the shoulders. I love it, love it when they moan and whine.
So, here is what you do. Take the arms straight out like you are making a “T”. Take the hand and flex them, another words, point the fingers up toward the ceiling and palms facing out. Now, draw circles for 20 counts one way and the reverse for 20, after that point the fingers down with palms facing in towards the body, and do the same thing. Make sure you are breathing. This little exercise freakin burns and develops those pretty shoulders we like. Your arms and shoulders feel like rubber after that. My class gets to stepping around, it is fun to watch while they are just trying to draw circles.
Try it. You will like it.
