if this isn't a reason to drop some pounds, i don't know what is.

i got a reply to my mass e-mail last week... the one i sent to a bunch of wedding and party planners in the philly area. turns out this one wedding planner also does corporate stuff, and has a few things in the works over the next few months that might be an awesome fit for some hula hoops. can i get a w00t w00t???

it hit me though that part of the whole corporate thing might include me doing a lesson. urk. i've offered to do private lessons for bachelorette parties and such, but a corporate gig would be, i'm guessing, more performance-oriented. at least, that's what i think based on all the big meetings my company has had. i'm waiting to hear from her to learn what she's envisioning... but in the meantime, i need to get my ass in gear -- start practicing, drop a few pounds, etc. etc. at least the 10 pounds i've lost on WW is still gone (thank god)... but with some healthier eating and hooping 30-60 minutes every day, i should drop a bit more over the next couple of months.

this is exactly the kick in the pants i needed. yay!

Corporate gigs

Congrats on the corporate response... it could be awesome! On the other hand, I'd think your performance stuff might not be what they're looking at... at least from my POV, it'd be more fitness and fun and that can be more of showing different moves, not put on a show... and if you were here and I had my fingers on the corporate pulse like I used to, I'd book you to teach ongoing classes: hooping, conference room A, 12:30pm, Tuesdays, for 6 weeks. Sign up now! And honestly, since you're not the unreasonably tall slender fitness instructor, you're a much more normal sized person with a love for hooping and fun, you'd be much more in-demand. I don't think I can afford to fly you up every week for a class though... ;)

Shame you're not here in the city. I bet you'd be a good AM walking buddy!

(I know, I know, hooping is way more of a workout. But none of the rooms in my house are big enough!)
