Today I reached a new jump rope peak (12 sessions of 1 minute jumping and 1 minute recovery after each) and it was my fifth Bikram class in a row. [By the way, the world jump roping record is 27 hours –– which is clearly quite insane.] The plot has thickened at Bikram in that I now know my enemy’s na...

I do like this Bikram quote: “Never too old, never too bad, never too late, never too sick to start from scratch once again.” (Bikram Choudhury) But I definitely like jumping rope even more. This entry is short because I’ve been working up a storm all day.  MAJOR fundraising + finishing the draft for...

Well, I’m actually not including any of them here –– I’m not that much of a masochist –– but I received them from Cody tonight and they are AWESOME.  [If you haven’t been reading faithfully, I did a photoshoot last week at my heaviest weight before beginning m...

Apparently, the line “Here’s looking at you, Kid,” is not in the screenplay of Casablanca, but is something Bogart said to Bergman often while trying to teach her poker between takes. One of the most radical things about Bikram is that you are more or less forced to look at yourself in th...

Last night, my fantastic Godchild’s Birthday Party (totally fun and lovely). Major progress at my morning jump rope routine.  (Seriously, getting boxer-worthy). Awesome lunch with Amy Ahlers and Susan;  spectacular food and even more spectacular visualizations. Fell in love with a new hangout, Cafe P...

Today at Bikram, I experienced a mind-blowing interaction. Fifteen minutes into class the (you supply your own adjectives) “lady” in front of me turned and said, “When you breath I can feel the warm air on me;  try breathing through your nose.” Now, I was breathing through my nose (...

Workout one today:  1/2 mile swim. Workout two:  Bikram (which nearly killed me). The other challenge (besides parking): I truly LOVE my scriptwriting program Final Draft Pro — seriously, I do –– but one weird quick has revealed itself. When I ran out of black ink, I thought ...

Today began my official Quantum Breakthrough plan and … it worked within five minutes. Well, technically, after I finished all my morning alignment work I checked my email and found that my producer really loved the script, which is ecstatically GREAT news.  In fact, I can coast on that for a fe...

I’m contemplating reading Price Pritchett’s 42 page booklet You2 every morning for a month or more as an inspirational/centering activity to start my date.  [I have two secret Quantum Leaps planned for before my birthday, a day I share with my cosmic twin, Lindsay Lohan.] The intro reminds me s...
