Progress?

I forgot to post on Monday so I'll just do an update about the whole week.

Practicez - I've been working a lot on getting the step sequence more smooth and I think it's pretty okay now. It could still use some work but the twizzle is less terrifying and the toe steps are making it around. Another thing that has been giving me grief is the BO power 3 turn into the loop jump. I think I panic about the upcoming 3 turn and that messes up the whole entrance. When I do the 3 turn well, the whole thing is lovely but I'm about 50/50 on it right now. Finally, I've been working on the camel combo. It's good about 30% of the time.

Lessonz - Monday's lesson focused on the program and I told him I had a lot of anxiety about the BO 3 turn loop entry so, of course, we worked on it a lot! Since it's still not entirely consistent, he agreed that I can just do a regular backward entry into the loop jump but still try to shoot for getting the fancier entrance up to par. That's nice but it feels like cheating. I'll keep working on it some more. He had me run the whole program but without music since he forgot his iPad and we didn't have an adapter to hook my phone into the speaker box. I felt like everyone could hear my scratches. I messed up the camel combo and I was able to save an almost disastrous salchow landing but I finished. Would have been better with the music, though. Oh well. Today's lesson was all about MIF and spins. We worked a bit on my backspin and then moved on to power pulls and backward 3 turns. I dunno...I sometimes feel like I'm not making any progress with Silver Moves. Sigh. Why are these so damn hard?

Conditioningz - I did another of Christopher's strength and conditioning classes and, just like last time, it kicked my ass. I know I must have abs under my fat because I think they are sore, lol.

I'm stoning my dress tomorrow. Wish me luck :)
