Had a party last night and the girls were pretty difficult. No one seemed to want to actually listen and they were all over the place. It was very challenging trying to get everyone to focus and actually teach a routine or tricks. Some were expecting to get the quickest explanation on an advanced move and jump right into it even though explained we were going to be working on a Beginner routine, not learn 20 spins in an hr, while others wouldnt even try a backslide.. any advice on how to focus a group on the task at hand while still keeping it fun? Also do you have any games or anything to help break the ice>? the girls weren"t exactly warm & friendly..just looking for ways to keep things running fairly smoothly and keep it fun. Any advice helpful.

OMG yes!!! The frreakin pencil mount I have basically given up all hope of. There's also the HS & CW ( full mounts, can do 1/2 mts.), and I.m sure there is 1 or 2 others.. ya these have just eluded me time and time again. It's frustrating, but at some point guess have to admit defeat I guess. Better than breaking your back. This is an intresting thread 🙂

Yes diffrent things work for diffrent people. I find when i am keeping an accurate journal of what I am eating and doing for exersise I do much better. Also I can not wait til I am really hungry to eat or I end up eating junk and usually alot of it. Also I have found that if i really do not want to workout at all if I just commit to 10 mins of ANY activity I almost always end up doing more. The first 30 or so days of this I did so good ( lost 10lb. s and 2 inches off waist) but than started to yo yo w my commitment and effort. Seems everytime I get wicked close to my goal I start screwing up.. well am back on track as of now though. Went to get healthy food this morning and did 45 mins cardio and a 30min walk so far today. I believe today is already day 80!!!! wow 20 more days! Although I plan on starting over w a challenge, except thinking will do 30 day challenges instead w smaller more managable goals. Like say the 1st 30 day challenge round I will probably focus on increasing stamina through walk/run intrevals and boxing, and focus on getting my belly flat again w pilates. As far as food will probably just focus on maintaining an accurate food journal and planning my breakfeast and dinners. I usually do good w lunch. well let’s do our best in this home stretch and than anyone who is intrested can start the 30 day challenge when this ends. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

hey I am an hour south of Boston. Maybe could meet at one of the studios that are between us. I don’t know of any other than the 1 in swansea .. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_idea.gif

I would love to do this. I dream of owning a studio, but right now I can’t imagine having to pay rent ect on top of insurance and supplies. ( i have 3 poles, but woner if stage or free standing poles are not better as less chance of ceiling issues? ) I am now studying to become a personal trainer and am also planning on enrolling in their beginner instructor (pole) certificate course as I would like to have the option of traiing peole in a gym ( w no poles) or wherever and do basic calistetics ( lunges, squats, push ups ect) or use the pole for fitness and fun. I think teaching pole parties would be great. There are no studios close by. The best I can do is talk to the owner of the gym I was taking pole classes at before and see if we can work anything out. I would appreciate greatly any tips, advice, or help. thanks!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

well i am glad i asked! i have been trying for over a year (granted not consistently) so am amazingly frustrated at this point trying to get it. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif i even bought a 45mm when already have 2 poles, but thought it might make it easier. it doesn’t. least not for me. when i try to do the one ( always confuse HS and CW) where you tip back i hit my knees on the pole, and when trying to do one where tip foward i don’t let my head drop enough to get hips over head.. oh the frustration!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_redface.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cry.gif well thanks for the advice! will keep trying. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

yes i agree that smaller steps will actually get you more permanent changes.. taking on too much at once, and not having clearly defined goals is the easiest way to get frustrated and not see results for me i notice i need to be active EVERYDAY to stay consistent doesn’t mean i need to workout 7 days a week, but even just going for a walk, hooping to a few songs, or doing some push-ups etc while i watch tv keeps me in that fitness mind set..
i haven’t weighed self in weeks, but pants fitting good, someone said looks like my stomach is starting to show tone on the sides, and can do 51 push-ups in less than 2 hrs..( used to be couldnt do 51 in 2 weeks! ) .. i think it is better to make small changes til those become 2nd nature and than build on that.

yes i also do the no sugar added. less cals and obviously less sugar. believe it’s 18g of sugar compared to 7g. LOVE the variety box. they are all so good to me. only like choclate or f vanilla in coffee though. strawberry is sooo delish in skim milk w tons of ice and a straw tastse almost as good as strawberry shake from Mcds for a small fraction of the cals/fat/sugar! YUM! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/bom.gif
DID 51 PUSH UPS AT WORK LAST NIGHT!!!! whoohoo! start of summer couldn’t do 1! i do 5-10 at a time, break a min, repeat. goal was 40, but actually felt pretty easy, so went for 51! also notice 5 flights even w weights feels like about 3 now. yay! small victories eventually win the war! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_salut.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

well have been up and down w weight and motivation, but mostly doing good. posted a sign that says " 100 day challenge for health" on my fridge. makes me think twice about my desicions.
things i have found :
if i have a serious craving for something, say fast food, i better let myself have a little bit of it. if i don’t, i will just eat a bunch of the foods i "should" eat, and eventually will end up eating the fast food too and more than what would have. so a kids meal (burger w just ketchup, sm. fry, sm. diet soda) compared to a whopper w lg fry and shake.
when do not feel like doing ANYTHING, need to either just go for a 5 min walk ( which ALWAYS turns into atleast 20mins once am moving w headphones) or do a list of exersise i can do in front of tube. (squat holds and pulses, lunges w high knee raises, plank holds, push ups, reverse crunches, and tricep dips)
always try to start day of w a good breakfeast and some jumping jacks or other fast exersise that quickly raises heart rate and circulation. helps me make better desicions throughout the day
DO NOT get so hungry you will eat anything!!!! EAT!!! if i go hrs and hrs wo eating i will inhale whatever junk i can quickly get into my mouth. better to carry small bag of nuts and a good quality fruit or cereal bar in purse so you arent pulling in drive thru bc your starving.
if dont feel like eating breakfeast ( alot of time si just want coffee til 11a) i now put in Carnation Instant Breakfeast powder in coffee. it has more protein than an egg, more calcuim than yogurt, has minerals, calories, vitamins. and tastes so good don’t need sugar or creamer.

well love reading everyones posts. we are already a nice part of the way through it and when this 100 days ends, am starting another. i started off so good losing 10lbs and 2 inches of waist in first month, but have stalled progress not gaining, not losing.. just stuck. i did however give up smoking! i was never an actual smoker ( would NEVER buy a pack) but would share cigs w bf, or have 1 w someone if out drinking. sometimes ask for 1 if stressed. been 2 weeks and only 1 cig. also am so in love w my spinach, walnut, almond, and dried cranberries salad! sooo delish and so filling! bought a new wii boxing and dancing game. 1st time did the boxing my shoulders and traps were SCEAMING for days after. barely been on pole insince June, but am planning on making and posting a vid this weekend to get me motivated. either a dance or a practice vid. been stressed as cyst on ovary has grown quite large and doc is concerend it may be something serious so went already for 2 ultrasounds and now being sent to 3rd doc.. just have to be as healthy as i can. wish could find the recipe my mom gave me for chicken, black beans, and salsa. so delish healthy and filling. i know a part of my problem is not working out hard enough most days of the week. both jobs i sit for hrs and hrs plus drive alot. am planning on decorating pole room finally so will hopefully be more motivated to get up there. gained 2 inches on my arm and it isnt fat. my tricep area is less flabby and can now do 40 pushups in a day. i do 5 , wait 30 secs-1 min do 5 more, til 20 than redo later in day. when started couldn’t do 1. also help plank for 2 mins!!! my abs hurt the next day! and did a PERFECT flagpole and sad girl drop ( don’t really pole anymore, but jump on as walk by for a quick move here and there)
well everyone thanks for taking this journey w me and lets commit to a being healthy for life! we can do it especially w each others suppourt, encouragement, and advice! VEENERS ROCK! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
