Possible AR GTG

[sharon]

Well, for those of you interested we can do a Body Blast class, which is a weight class. It can also be done w/o weights using muscle contraction. You can only do this class every other day, you need to give your muscles a chance to heal, and the best way to do this is with a yoga class. The reason I say early AM for a weight or Zumba class is because of the heat later in the day, not because I particularly like exercising early. Not like we're gonna be in an air conditioned gym. Or instead of Zumba I have a line dance exercise dvd that's fun, too, and not quite as strenuous. And of course, pack walk every morning...but Chewy said it's not fun 'cause Mom doesn't let me stop and do doggy stuff, we're to busy looking for food and a new place to go to ground. Frankly, she pays way to much attention to what that awful trainer says and not enough to what I want to do. I have food and a bed at home, I don't have to go look for it...sigh. We search every morning and every afternoon and we have yet to find anything worth eating out there.

Wow! This is getting big! I am wondering tho, why there are two empty sites right across from Mitch?? Are they unreserved yet 'cause no one wants to be that close to her, or are there a couple of unsuspecting and soon-to-be regretful campers reserved there?

I will have lots of sites to choose from to park my tent, if I can make it there! I sure am going to do my best to get there! Hopefully, it will be a stopover on my way to CA!

What is the weather like in that area in September? Anyone know?

September average weather is Low of 60, High of 85. That is in Adona AR, where the elevation is 377ft. so I think it will be cooler up on the mountain at 2,753ft.

Site 18 and 20 are more across from The Pest, NOT me. That is obviously a Dewfus DUH...

When you're counting possible sites, please DO NOT count site #21 as available for you and/or your tent. I'm just sayin'...

Average weather's HOT HUMID and STICKY.

(okay, FINE. I really hope you can make it. I have to say that because it's the nice thing to do...
and I suppose, if you're really quiet and peaceful, you could pitch your tent near me, but there will obviously be better choices for a pesky thing like you.)

So Vicky, why ARE there two empty sites across from you?

Mitch, I am looking for someone who WANTS me to share their site! I've had several offers already! I don't need yours!

[VickieP]

Well Barby, I'm thinking because #20 is a back-in and #18 might be reserved. Like our site 19 is reserved for the weekend, that's why we have to stay in #8 and move there on Monday.

Wow busy thread, where to begin? I LOVE bloody marys. I like being hynotized for ANYthing. I am in for Yoga b/c I am looking something to work on my balance.
In a place w/very little reception so I may not be in this room every day.

Oh Barb, those sites are reserved. Poor people who are not in our group. Other state parks allow you to move tables as long as we ask permission and promise to put them back.

I have been trying to motivate myself to start exercisng and lose weight, again. With all this talk of Zumba, Body Blast, Yoga, hypnosis and Reiki, I am ready!!!

Reditotry, how do you use or apply hypnosis (to relax)?

I can also teach you to do self hypnosis. Then when you want to relax you just put yourself into hypnosis and give yourself suggestions. How long the suggestions from one session with a hypnotist lasts varies with each individual which is why teaching the self hypnosis is helpful. This combined with Reiki which you can also do yourself is an amazing way to relax. By the time I finish with a persons head with the Reiki, which just involves placing the tips of my fingers very lightly at different places around the head and forehead, most are very relaxed.

I've had about 3 people try to hypnotize me and no one has been able to do it yet. But then I've also tried meditation and just can't get the brain to turn off and calm down. Very frustrating for me.

How about if we just tie you down, blindfold you and force you to do nothing? Then you won't need hynopsis - and you'll have no choice but to do some type of meditating?

I must admit - was a long time before I learned even how to stop and smell the roses. Now I can do nothing (and often do) with the best of them.

Herschel here.....just wanted to give a heads up.....The Tina Hooman came back from the store the other day with what she said was a "good deal" on last year's model of a Flip camera for taking videos.... She "said" it was for filming us doggies playing and swimming and other stuff but you might want to keep an eye on her at the gtg...... Is there money to be made in exercise videos uploaded to U-Tube? I'm just a sweet dog, I don't know about those things but she sure hasn't taken any pictures of us yet, so she may be saving it for future plans..........

Pics are okay, as long as they are neck up.

I would be interested in you showing me the body blast routine. I have a set of weights, which include a set of 3 & 5 pounders. I will dust them off and bring to gtg. Is anyone interested in the Body Blast gtg?

[sharon]

Carolyn, the body blast class may only consist of 2 gals....me and you! But the music will be good and we'll have fun!

That works for me! And I don't mind getting up early.

My friend, Debbie, may be interested, too. She just started a Jazzasize class. So, it could be 3. The class is growing.
