Much Better

 My session at the Y today wasn't the worst. I was able to get a lot done in the hour and 45 minutes I was there (oddly, only 1 minute of that registered as cardio on my FitBit which was disappointing considering I was breathing hard and sweating toward the end).

Movez - I did it all but I spent a good chunk (probably 30 minutes total) working only on the 3 Turns. I paid attention to where I was placing the turns on the lobe, I worked on keeping my upper half still, I noticed where my shoulders were, and I tried my best to STAY CALM! I've noticed that 3 turns give me super anxiety and when I look at my FitBit afterwards, there is always a pretty dramatic spike in my heart rate where I've been doing 3 turns. As mentioned above, my FitBit barely registered any cardio at all today so that means that I either did a really good job at staying calm or my FitBit is lying. I like to think it was because I was calm. My turns were better than they have been in the last couple of weeks and I felt capable doing them. 

The 27 Program Challenge (9/27) - YAY! I'm officially 1/3 through the challenge. I feel like I'm behind, though, and maybe I am. I haven't counted to see where I should be. Regardless, I ran my program and everything was good. I didn't fall on any of my jumps, I didn't bail on the Lutz combo, my spins spun, and I ended on time with the music. The only regret is that my step sequence was not placed as far down the ice as I wanted it but it got done without any trip ups. I feel like I'm back on track with this. I wanted to run it a second time since I was feeling feisty but there were a couple of other skaters running their programs and they were a little inconsiderate of the other people on the ice. Common courtesy dictates that you run your program and then you let someone else run their program and so on and so forth until all programs have been run. THEN, you can run your program again. However, these two particular skaters each ran their programs three times in a row and then again a couple more times to work on certain sections with the music. Super rude. There was a period of about 20 minutes where nobody but themselves were running programs. They just didn't care. They had work to do and screw everybody else, I guess. By the time they were done, I was already tired and annoyed and just wanted to leave.
