Tomorrow `s my reason for a day to let go

Alright well the first combo post ,I just couldn`t keep up sooo tired , alright so let `s get you 5 followers up to date(yup two lisa mckenzies)Started day waking up early to teach 6am , this class full of regulars which made for a great feel Well since I have added the movie chanel to the package I have been staying up way later then I have been, I did get up in time to make to fight club and having 3 minutes in the ring with Harry took more out of me then the entire work out , that man is built like a brick.Finish the night by teaching two very solid classes and had the heat just a little hotter then usual and had canadian kick boxing champ Brian Kelly attend my class

Stay up til 4 watching Dear mr gacy and twilight....

Ok friends got up pretty late again and ready for action where fight club had many people attend and we split into group of 6 and 7, lots of sweat indeed , went on after to teach a class of 14 but had a really great overall feel to it since normally it is not a 90 minute moksha during this slot and I knew 75% of the class which always equals good times , finished off my night watching lots of gossip girl season 2 , oh yeahhh xoxo , crazy intense day set for tomorrow , I should sleep good night

Roster running thin

Had an awakening with Andrew asking if I could teach the noon class for Leslie because she was feeling ill, Today was a day of getting re connect with people I hadn`t seen awhile but have been apart of my yoga journey since day 1, first in Moksha with Lauren and then when I unexspectedly taught at waverley today I got to practice with Melissa. So after teaching 3 classes on what was orginally my day off , I didn`t have lots of food prepared with me so what I ate up until 6:40pm was two small pieces of the free hersey chocalates from the studio,one nectorine,2 pears and 3 oranges... and then stupidity came in at 6 :40, hot dog,hamburger (oh yes condiments!) taco salad and patatoe salad, at the time sooo good but then 7pm hits and I went to pan am boxing and oh my we did that one drill with the medicine ball where we slam each other in the gut, if there is a positive here , I was able to run a little better then usual , but my stomach was really feeling by the end, enough said ,
much love
xoxo

Go until nothing is left

Another unproductive morning , spent the majority of the day watching some world cup soccer and Bravo`s list of 100 scariest moments. I finally got to work with Christa since she`s beeen back , taught at 4 30 today and after cleaning the room rushed over to pan for fight club , really really got pushed to the limit today , My original plan was to double up but I sincerly felt I had nothing left in the tank, it was a good feeling and I was sweating for nearly twenty minutes after the work out was over. Closed off the night starting to watch the show true blood!

Save the Juice

Teaching the 6 am class was good times, 16 out of 18 were regulars , I watched a documentry called June 17th,1994 , Many important sporting events occured on this day including the new york rangers winner a stanley cup in like 50 years , game 5 of the knicks vs rockets and well the main attraction the infamous car chase of "The Juice " O.J Simpson , another example of how a few minutes can ruin years of building a reputation. Afterwards I took a major nap from 10-3 (oops missed out on the planned noon boxing) at least fresh to teach the next two classes , overall great atmosphere as always, afterwards I went to fight club where I had a tough time throughout the first half but was able to finish strong and led a little of the abs proportion of the class ( I got called out by being told I taught the same ab work in yoga) Finished off the night watching the movie Goodfellas for the first time, consequences of taking the easy way out.

If I can get through this... I can get through anything

Well it was a fun filled morning teaching my fellow fight club contenders in a hot yoga class , it was a nice fun filled environment and the overall energy was great , I find that some of my best classes are people who go into it with a complete beginner `s state of mind and having no idea what is coming next , so they have to stop and really observe what is going on in the posture so that there`s proper alightment. The rest of the day was pretty chilled taught a music class which might have been my last one with Jacklyn, she is a great talent and seemed wayyyy happier then the last time I saw her which was at least 2 months ago, ended up crashing early trying to re watch the movie twilight.... grrr I see myself jumping on the bandwagon so late in the game

Stretch out every vein in his hamstring to get that ball

Well indeed no drinking on my friday night but ummm yeah when you stay up late its tough to stay away from junk food.... wedges... chips...wings ... cookies... twizzlers.. oh man.... I woke up early to head to fight club ,took lots out of me , it seems like I get the most sick when it comes to saturday work outs ,probably because I eat so crappy the night before, After a very well needed fight club class , I went to do some yard work and enjoyed receiving a tan, had a wicked time teaching at waverley because I barely knew anyone at the 4:30 class and at 6 I knew more then hald the class and the class consisted of 8 people , very great class overall little dissapointed no more moksha flows at that time slot , change is good , oh man one more week til the end of fight club

Go ahead and try to take what`s mine

Well I have started to develop a habit of sleeping in and staying up late this week , which is a definite no no, But my fight club attendance is still good and have had a nice time making myself familiar with the more technical part of sparring, still receiving some bruises tho , all in good fun I guess , another well led class from Harry and then gather up energy to do the final Moksha 2 class til september , I was litterally sweating up a storm ,even 20 minutes after class . Now the challenge comes at night... The girl that gave me her number last week is having people over... hmmm this getogether screams alcohol! But I plan to stay true to my straight edge pledge but if I faulter I will keep you updated.

You never dissapoint me..... because you always dissapoint me

Wow! what a day , teaching a 4 classes since the first day I ve been back from Laos, I first taught at Argyle Alternative school which was a great experience , more people then I exspected came out to do yoga and it was a good mix with laughs between students and staff. I think I might found out today that I have become lactose intolerent since being back from Laos , if this is the case I consider it a huge bummer since I am a big fan of cheese, ice cream and chocalat milk... well I could also look at it as a blessing where I would only have in moderation and it would be sooo worth it when I do have it but you know like once or twice a month ,just need pick my spots :0 . Went on to go into some intense fight club , I continue to receive bruises and I finally attended a fight club where Ace Burpee was present and got to lay my shot on him (always nice to have a first time for something) After watching a shocker in Mexico defeating France I went on to the Yoga studio , had a very great day in teaching , special shout out to Janice Reimer on this who was on her last day of her month pass and 7 pm was doing her 99th class and then stayed for 9pm for the century mark! Was able to make it in time for the last five minutes of Game 7 which was apperently the best part according to my brother! oh glorius day , well more random , but always look at the positives in life

Same Same.... But Different

Oh glorius day didn `t over sleep for once and got my fight club on at noon , oddly I felt my body continue to dissolve and it really seemed like I wasn`t putting as much effort as last night so I guess my body was still feeling the effects from the Harry double. After teaching a smaller then usual karma(last week was 60 and this week 17) and actually just organized my laundry and work out clothing , so it looks liek busy day ahead of me tomorrow , teaching 4 classes! hope I make it in time for the finals

Can barely move my arms (yesterday`s title applies wayyyyy more today)

Gave myself a nice big nap today and woke up at noon, hmmm missed my opportunity and doing either one of those classes, spent my day watching a real David vs Goliath match in Korea DPR vs Brazil , in to many people`s suprise Korea actually got a goal , pretty impressive for a team ranked 105 in the world. went on to have a harry led fight club work out at 6pm , it was soooo brutal how sweaty that floor was, he really knows how to really make you work , because of my inactivity all day I decided to do the class right after .... which was also Harry led by the end planks were so hard to hold I could feel in my chest , when I got to the car I could barely straigten out my arms and had a hard time driving my car and as of right now i can`t find a comfortable position for my legs, I really really hope I can still go full force tomorrow morning

Your boi

You can teach someone how to fight , but you can`t teach heart

A solid overall productive day , I did wake up feeling pretty weak this morning and the internet went down at the studio before I taught the 6am class, got to have some catch up time with Mesia ,Jun and Issac and got to see Erica for the first time since I got back from Laos.Felt nice to just chill out , I went on to do the noon class at pan am which was well led by Gino and Phil, Watched a little bit of the Paraguay vs Italy game and then went back to the Donald studio to teach the 4pm and 530, I got a complement for my teaching which I just had to post , it always feels nice to know that actions can cause impacts
Jana-Rai Dufault Thanks for the wonderful adjustment. As usual, great class. It's wonderful to be guided by you in my practice. It was a little busy when I left, so I just wanted to say thank you.

Continuing on I attended a fight club class where the focus is now more on the technical aspects of boxing and it seemed like last week was about delivering hard shots to the body, Some of the pairings were even same sex today so I got to interact with more members of fight club and found out there is a member who is Laotion and knows my brother, there was an incident where Harry saw a member hit me in the chin and he was sent to do some stairs, the class had a pretty great ending where we had to hold plank as long as we could and then we had to run lots of stairs! I am going to sleep good tonight , still debating if I should do the mourning class , peace out ch`all

NEXT

I went to a party last night and again a solid night of no drinking, but i did stay up late and junk food was involved, enough said, today marks the first day I did not do a work out at Pan Am Boxing , I did however attend the meeting with the sports psychologist which I found to be pretty helpful.Got to spend 3 hours in the hot room though first taking a class from Moksha Winnipeg`s newest member Sarah , she is one of those girls I can never see being mad at anything and lots of positivity throughout the whole practice , very glad to have her on the team , the class after was the moksha music which I led and she stayed for , how cool is that! The class went great and I continue to see familiar faces the more I am at the studio. I finish the night off eating more junk food with my buddies Mick and Maegan (Maegan`s mom mentioned I dropped weight though) and we watch Twilight new moon which I fell asleep through for a second time , well tomorrow it `s time to get serious in work outs and in life (other issues surrounding yours truly)

Takes years to build a reputation and seconds to detroy it

Well the good news is I did not drink at all during the party last night and it turned out to better than expected ,got a number from a girl I met two years ago and it looks like I have a set party to go to next week , sweet! In other news I woke up very much in pain from the week at pan even though I was up at 8:30 and just didnt feel like doing anything , I eventually did go at 10 and put in some hard work and again no regrets , taught two classes later in the afternoon that went really well and then ended my night at a party and having a cheat meal but still no drinking.

The title of my name is not based on myself but the firing of one Bryan Danielson , always one to be an underdog with very little chance of ever making it big in the wrestling industry based on his smaller size and Vince Mcmanhon wanting bigger characters that would look like a human comic book. I have been watching WWE all my life and I had seen some crazy and unpredictable things including Necrophilia, A man pointing a gun and and 80 year old woman being put through a table by and 30 year old man and line of Ric Flair saying" We will break you like a Virgin". Recently because the wife of Vince Mcmanhon is running for U.S senator of Connecticut it caused WWE to make the decision to make program more family friendly and have made there programming rated PG, last week WWE had one of the most talked about and unpredictable endings which caused 8 rookies from their NXT show to just demolish the set and everyone around including the wrestlers wrestling, annoncers , referees and security in a vicious 8 on 1 attack , first time in years had the most hardcore of wrestling fans question was that a work(planned attack... well obvisouly it was but still actually got people to wonder which is something that hasnt happened for awhile), during this brutal attack we see Bryan Danielson choking the announcer with his tye http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9ywCb4tb3w, but yes this was considered way to over the top which caused his release, I was actually very suprised they showed it but I suppose based on this one mistake(didn`t even get a warning or a fine) a man that has built a repuation in the last 10 years of being one of the best and one he does gets the boot,I am furious that if this is legit they are making a major mistake in releasing Bryan Danielson.

It`s fine that most you don`t care and wrestling is probably the nerdiess thing about me but there are many people who feel the same way about the firing of Bryan Danielson

10 Items or less

Starting off with another struggle to wake up but unlike Wednesday I did attend the 6:45 am class , for once I got to pair up with someone with less experience then me , took him to school so hard he had to sit out twice , i know I shouldnt feel proud of it but I have been getting my butt handed to me so it was nice to have a little role reversal , when I got home I watched a great little indy movie called 10 items or less where a question got me thinking if you can only 10 items to keep with you, what would they be? I ll think about some more another day maybe if you are reading this then you can also think about it. Got to sneak in a quick nap before going to Harry`s class at 1pm , more technical sparring and received a few shots to the mouth, nothing out of the ordinary felt very satisfied I gave it my best effort, after a fist full almonds I was able to gather up enough energy to attend a 60 minute moksha so I am very satisfied with my activity level today, now the challenge is that I am attending a house party tonight ,i did say and made it public on facebook that for I had taken the straight edge pledge , So I will blog on how I do tomorrow

Respect

I started off my day teaching the 6 am , a very packed class indeed with around 35 people , had energy exchanger Erica attend my class for the first time and was the last one out of savasana. I went home and took a power nap and I had a big debate about which boxing classes to do I tossed and turned at 11:30 am but made the final decision to do back to back classes at noon and 1 , Just Crazy Crazy intense workouts led by Kevin my arms were in so much pain by the end , got to team up with James for the first time since being back from my trip and I honestly appreciated Kevin paying extra close attention whenever we would do speed drill I would have some extra yelling towards me, when he simply came up to me and said good job ,it almost felt more satisfying then the two work outs itself . After I returned home in Zombie mode I watched the movie Fired up , I was ready to teach the last two classes at Moksha Donald, felt great to start having everything be routine and I was very happy to run into Lauren and Megan , I was especially surprised they kept up with Moksha since they already do alternative work outs together and they told me they did take a break while I was away , so it`s to hear even though they are pretty much connected at the hip they are human. Very happy they asked if I was still teaching Saturday mornings at 9, its good to feel missed :)

Icing the left arm,

The original plan was to head to boxing at 6:45 am but after a few too many snoozes I woke right at 6:45 am ... oh well hope this one doesnt bite me in the ass , ended up waking up at 9:30 am and didnt feel as over tired as yesterday, the plan was to head to noon class but at 11 45 I received a message from Clancy asking if I could teach at 1:30 , I couldnt resist so I took the class and ended up missing boxing, I was extremely happy to run in to one of my good high school friends Amanda and I also had a group of grade 12s attending which i was happy about because I got to use some of my jokes i hadnt dished out in awhile , I love newbies. After like a straight hour of listening to my favorite song (yeah I know ive mentioned it before but again I friken love this song and it pumps me up ) 2NE1 - I don`t care ! I made my way to boxing which will make it first day since being back that I am not doing a fight club class , I hurt the arm two days ago and after this class seems to be in more pain , but obviously a little arm pain won`t stop me it`s going to take more then that, in closing I know tomorrow will be pretty active for me since I will be teaching 3 classes tomorrow and I must be up at 5 , it will be intresting to see what work outs I do ... or not do.

Journey

To describe my day ... well I woke up at 11 30 with a dead and I had received 4 messages all from the one and only clancy

9:23am Hey bud any chance you could teach my 4 pm today
9:26am Marc you asleep?
9:28am I`m going to keep bugging you
11am Marc where the hell are you???

When I woke up I called her and told her I can take the shift , when I woke up I just didn`t feel like doing much , I watched the three hour edition of RAW which was overall bad but made up for hit by what many fans are saying is the greatest ending to RAW in the last 10 years, still has me pretty shocked but im lovin it , once I got in to the hot room I regained my energy and when I was out I got to run into Nena and Diana to very super duper awesome people I truely missed . Went on to fight club afterwards and it was another ass kicker for sure , lots of punching and heavy breathing and I think the bruised left arm is getting to be more painful , spending the rest of my night organizing my clothes and bloggin right now, so taking it easy and I will probably wake up early tomorrow (hopefully not in pain) oh and I also watched the Glee finally which I really quite enjoyed , don`t stop believing

bleeding nose , bleeding lip and bruised left arm :Worth it!

Well as always I just explain pretty much what happen throughout my day , so I got up bright an early to teach at 6 am ,felt very nice to be back and see some familiar faces , I would of love to have slept but had an appointment concerning my braces, I went to the noon class at pan am which was nice work out and I finally got myself one of those pan am shirts and a schedule of when fight club classes are. Instead of using my time after to sleep I decided to I needed to get caught up with Glee which I did and I suprisingly was not in a sleep state so I was very much able to the 4 and 5:30 at Moksha like I had never left, it was great feeling that there wouldn`t be rust to shake off. after teaching I figured I would attend a fight club class led by Harry and Sue and so far it was the toughest thing I have been through there and we didn`t even do any ab work , just straight up contact sparring minus the head of course and first person I got paired up with was Harry , I guess it`s best to learn from the best and man did I ever get some hard shots, he was the one who cause the lip to bleed by the way and I can t remember the name of the person who caused the nose bleed but I made sure to clean the floor after. I really should of just showered and rest , I decided to shower and go out to Alive and stayed nearly til closing , the good news is I turned down 3 drinks and had some really good catch up time with a good amount of people

Must of done something right

Well I had a couple measurements done to me and after nearly three weeks of not really doing anything except walk in asian heat i dropped 13 pounds , so if i actually put in the efforts and actually watch my diet(big if with that one ) I think i still have a legit shot at finishing with respectable numbers. I felt pretty comfortable during the fight club work out today and i am pretty pumped i had do ne 3 in a row considering my laziness while I was gone , afterwards I went to moksha and felt pretty drained throughout and skipped the ab part. Made my work out go to waste when i was eating unhealthy products during viewing of the basketball game , well better luck tomorrow. :) I still don`t have a fight club schedule

Super sore during Yoga...not from yoga

Well ... well I was suprise there wasnt a larger turn out during 9 am fight club class but maybe we are exspected to do a limit and I just don`t know all the rules yet, Today I sure got an ass kicking during Ami`s class and had to take a slight break , I made sure to promise myself to be straight edge for the remainder of fight club but I could really tell difference if alcohol is in the system.I am very sore all around and had the toughest time during yoga class and as I am writing this blog my body is still sore all around , especially the back and abs , I had 4 weeks behind though so I can`t let pain hold me back , hopefully I hold up tomorrow morning

I don`t care e e e e e e

Well ...well so after the solid week and half of P90x I let the partying in Laos really get to me and fell off the wagon hard, but i know according the title it indicates I don`t care, well I do really want to get back on track, the only reason I put I don`t care as the title is because of this song I am addicted to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MgAxMO1KD0&feature=channel

Alright so plan to get back on track ,I landed in Winnipeg at 2 am Friday day , at 6:45am I went to my first boxing class since fight club first started ,Tom the bomb Rossi guided the well needed class for me , it felt good to be back and I didn t struggle as much as I first thought I would ! Instead of heading home for some well needed rest I went to Mesia 9:15am moksha which felt great and she threw a curve ball and got me to teach the abs portion of the practice , it kind of sucks to think we only have 2 more month before she`s off but I ve always had the mindset of nothing last forever though we want it too, I went on to go to a Harry lead boxing class at noon which I felt took me near the limit , there unexspectedly was a fight club class right after , i was extremely close to ducking out but Lisa convinced me to stay which I am glad I did , felt the work out went really well and I for sure felt extremely sore when it came night time , so I am going to try to make it my goal to blog everyday , thanks for the support everyone I will also include a pic from Laos in each post... just because ;)

Fight club journey in Laos May 2- May 8th

Hey crew well after a crazy night of limousine riding partying at Mystique , I was on a plane going to Vancouver, I was pretty spent there and the plane ride was not pleasant but very manageable. Since i had 13 hours between the flight from Vancouver to Japan I was able to watch lots of movies and tried to avoid falling asleep the great list of entertainment watch is as follows Lovely bones, shutter island , half of book of Eli and an episode of Glee and Friends also recommend maybe you can youtube a 4 min canadian movie called walk the dog.

In Japan I got to experience for the first time ever! popeye s chicken! in was also my birthday during that time which was pretty and random, more hours spent at the air port very weird to see burger king and dairy queen inside the Bangkok airport. When I finally arrived in Laos it was 10 pm there and got to see lots of faces I hadnt seen in 12 years , very mix emotions.

So noteable notes from the trip , as of right now I got 4 p90x work outs under my belt and did my own yoga practice filled with many side planks.
-lots of excessive shopping and purchased some items that I will need to drop a few pounds to get into, even more motivation.
-Went to the bar and do they ever love their rap music tons of sean kingston , T.I ,T pain and anything you would hear at the club 3 months ago , oh and tons of LADY GAGA which funny since they don't know english but they can sing all the chores to every song. only 2 songs in the club were non english.
-The weather is extremely crazy hot , which is glad my hot yoga in coming in handy , also bought myself so more fitness accessories including my own skipping rope and waist support band, should be interesting to see how things will turn out in the end


Well still plenty of trip left to talk about , surprisingly I have not taken any pictures so I will get on that soon ,if somebody wants to report on any major major news of celebrity deaths and just sometime newsworthy please feel free to message since i am also challenging myself to not use the computer everyday. Anyways the number 1 thing different is how much more westernize this place is becoming , my last time out here i probably saw 3 white people my entire trip now that number has probably gone up to 35-40 ish , lots of tourist , lots of traffic and speaking about traffic saw a 10 year old kid riding a motor bike with no helmet driving on the wrong lane, no surprise to the locals. YES VERY WESTERNIZE PPL! They now have fried chicken and hamburger restaurants and i place called swensen s ice cream connected to the pizza company. on my final note there was also a portable pizza place they included hot dog flavor pizza and Fack crab !

You know you love it
XOXO
