I have just managed to catch up my exercise log after getting a little behind in getting the information from my phone and into the spreadsheet during the trip to Italy last week. I am pleased to report that, even though while traveling there were a couple of days when the only exercise I got at all was my daily yoga, I have been doing enough workouts, acroyoga, and biking and/or walking to work often enough that my March average hours a day is still 1.79 hours/day of physical activity. This is down compared to January (2.20 hrs/day) and February (2.65 hour/day), but it is the second best March since I started keeping the log on a computer (in 2005), and the month isn't over yet.

It is now 11 weeks since I started my sessions with my personal trainer, and I am seeing improvement in my overall strength and balance. Today at Phire practice I tried, for the first time, doing and handstand and from there rolling onto the super thick mat we use for aerial silks. Not only could I do the rolling out of the handstand, I also managed, a couple of times, a pause in the handstand for a few seconds before rolling--this is the first time I have tried hand-stand without a wall, human spotter, or giant rubber band to help, and I am pleased to have managed this milestone.

On the other hand, returning to aerial silks after 4 weeks where it wasn't an option (due to travel on my part, mostly) really emphasized how much further I still have to go. At the start of practice this evening I couldn't climb the silks at all--my hands simply wouldn't grip the fabric enough to work my way up it. However, after doing some acroyoga and handstands suddenly my hands remembered how it is done, and I managed to climb and do some simple poses, though I confess I couldn't remember much of what I had been able to do when last we tried.

With luck there may be some photos from tonight's session--my friend who likes playing with antique cameras joined us tonight, and took a bunch of photos, it will be interesting to see if any of them came out once he has a chance to develop the film.
