The give and take of success....

PRO: nailed first butterfly on first try today. CON: was so surprised I did it I fell on my kiester trying to dismount. PRO: nailed plank on first try today. CON: pole burn in the extreme upper thigh region. 😂 Pole is quickly teaching me that success isn't perfect, it's just good enough. So for all you other ladies who have just started...better get to ignorin those falls or there won't be any success anywhere 😂 👍

Ha! I was going to start a similar topic when I saw yours - very timely! When I get a new move, it's so finicky. My pole has to be in a certain state, my body has to be in a certain way that day - the stars have to perfectly align. And sometimes I just have to accept where I am that day, even when it's FAR from perfect! Example now being my superman! I got it for the first time last weekend, and have replicated it exactly 4 times total since. Yesterday when I tried it, my hip wouldn't "flip". Today, my shoulders were too stiff. I wish I could do everything all the time, but that's not the way it goes. 🤔 So in the meantime, I will work on other stuff so I don't drive myself crazy. And then, when I least expect it, I'm sure my superman will come back to me. Easy come, easy go....sigh! 😎

😂 First time I got the butterfly(last week) got up, in pose (shit now how do I get down Oh No) 🙄 ended up finally sliding down, thought my arms were going to fall off by the time I got to the floor 😂 I'm proud of all my trophy marks and have them in plenty in all sorts of sizes and colors 🌈

Mine was more like got up, got leg extended, then "OH MY GOD HONEY LOOK LOOK LOOK RIGHT NOW HONEY LOOK!!!!!!" then *THUD* I'd held it so long by the time he saw I didn't have much energy left to get down. My cam wasn't on and I needed evidence!! 😂
