I'll start with Soul Cycle.
I've heard of it. Heard it's somehow extra awesome. Heard it's expensive. Heard people are massively instructor loyal. It's been a tiny bit on my radar, but not often and not lately.
I listened to Rachel Hollis podcast with her friend and Soul Cycle instructor, Chris Chandler (he's emceeing the health and fitness day at RISE). I was curious about him. Now I'm intrigued about Soul Cycle.
Apparently, it's like going to church, therapy and a workout all at once. Probably a huge exaggeration, but it's called SOUL Cycle for a reason -- who knew? Every instructor has their own vibe, music, etc which is why people get hooked on a particular instructor. The class descriptions often say what music -- it's that important to the class. The instructors sort of "teach" or "preach" a life lesson during class and you dance on the bike too.
RH and Chris said you can't understand it until you try it. Classes are $30 a piece!!! You can buy a first-timer pass for $20. There is a studio in Buckhead so I thought, why not?!?!
Here's the extra fun part. I looked up instructor bios to see what's what. Remember the Big Loser winner who was on the show with her sister, the opera singer? I know both of them kept the weight off by becoming fitness instructors. Guess where?!!? Oh, yes. I'm planning to take the opera singer's class (Olivia, I think).
I want to be careful the move doesn't take over my life entirely and I make time to have fun. I'll probably go by myself because I don't think any of my friends would be interested and this might be a better solo experience.

Here's a quick update on the move:
We met with the realtor for THIS house and have a solid plan. One that doesn't involve a lot of work on the house before we move out. Good news. I have purging, organizing and some small repairs, but no major stuff (paint, carpets, floors) until after we move out.
We visited our NEW house for the afternoon. Took some measurements, made some furniture plans, forgot some measurements LOL (like the space for the refrigerator). I'm back on Monday with other furniture ideas and my tape measure.
We have a couple of logistical furniture concerns with pieces we want to keep and use in the house. I'm figuring it out ... slowly. My hope is to figure it out enough so that the heavy pieces are on the floor where they should be after the movers leave!
LETTING GO is hard, dang it!! I will have to let go of some of my favorite things -- including (I could cry), my beloved TiVo. Who knew letting go of TiVo would be part of my growth journey hahahaha!!
My LISTS sheets are up to maybe 20! I keep jotting down notes and then consolidating. It works well for me though.

I've been up since 5 o'clock sending the boys off on their ski trip. No point in trying to go back to sleep.
I have the boxing 75 minutes FUN class this morning, nail appointment this afternoon and a trip to the grocery store. I'm still on empty since the boys are out of town and I was suppose to go out for all my meals with my BFF.
Then it's me and the dogs and Netflix and a book. I'm almost finished with A New Earth and I want to start the fiction read (I already forget the name).
Next week is super full and I need to begin my purging projects this weekend too.
Sleep is pissing me off! I go to sleep well and about 5 hours later am wide awake THINKING. I tell myself, think in the morning you crazy fool! I try meditation. I try breathing. I try finishing my thinking (apparently, it never ends). 5 hours isn't enough sleep for me. I eventually fall back to sleep in time for my alarm. This needs to stop -- listen to me brain!! Bullying my brain isn't working either BTW.
Is everyone warming up this weekend - I hope so. It's been horrible for the northern states. Have a great day - later gators.
