And The Devil Said, "Ahhh Yes. . ."
I have been unemployed for approximately three weeks. Of course, I made some goals as to what I wanted to achieve. It was all of the usual stuff:
1. Read as much as possible
2. Finish Todd’s afghan
3. Do my homework and assignments in a timely fashion
4. Visit my elders, who hardly hear from me or see me
5. Apply for one job every day
6. Spend time walking in areas of San Francisco where I haven’t been before
7. Hang out at a bar or lounge at least twice a week for a least one hour each time
8. Exercise at least five, if not six times a week
I haven’t met ANY of my goals.
But, it’s the beginning of a new month. So I began October with a 90 minute spinning class. I love spinning. Spinning is an energizing bike ride that uses music, tension and routine to help you achieve the best sweat you’ve ever had in your life.
Carrie had us in first, second and high and low third positions. We sped through The Go Go’s,, Madonna, Prince and some house music I ain’t never heard before. By “Little Red Corvette”, the sweat was pouring into my eyes, nostrils and mouth. Carrie kept telling us to go from high third to low third.
Let me explain low third. Picture yourself sitting on the bike (with a gel cushion, of course) with your arms stretched out in front of you, holding on to the farthest tips of the handles in front of you. Your ass is only itches off the seat. You are feeling the sides of your torso stretch as you hold on to those bars. You can feel the skinny part of the seat rubbing against your inner thighs as they go up and down.
And Carrie kept saying, “Get lower!” And I tried. My knees began to brush against my chest as I forced my torso to “get lower”. Just as I began to breathe into the posture and regain my spinning momentum, Carrie yelled, “Get lower”!
I thought to myself, “If I get any lower, I’ll be able to breast feed The Devil”. My man, Prince, was singing to me. So, I got as low as was humanly possible for a girl my size. I was doing it for His Purple Highness, if no one else.
And I heard The Devil say, “Ahhh Yes. . . . “.
Spinning does that to me.
Be Blessed.

nice Title. Diva in training. Its simply sounds neat. But bout all your goals, I couldn't get what Number 7 was about ..( 7. Hang out at a bar or lounge at least twice a week for a least one hour each time
) . Sorry Couldn't help asking. I simply couldn't get it. and spinning sounds nice. Hope The Devil Does this quite often, then you might reach a state of zero fat in your blood stream at some point ( Beyond ideal). All the Best with the devil...
Ohhh but you are on the road to obtaining your goals... in many ways, you're keeping them! Positive my child, think positive!
Sometimes, the fall season gets the best of us...when the sun stops shinning, we focus more on a lot of what had been forgotten. Then we stress. One of the greatest things about falling off is our ability to bounce back up...
Take your time off to focus on the real you and the reality of you. You've made it this far and there is nothing negative about the way you live you life.
Make happiness your priority. People can't seem to get enough of that.
