Day 19: Slept through Spin Class - Not Enough Coffee in the World!Rock of Ages Taps My Inner Rock Star.
I binged last night and paid for it. My body reacted to all the additional food and over extensions with not enough energy to wake up and get my sorry butt into spin class where I could have worked some of it off. Perhaps I would ride my bike today and that didn't happen either. My brain was slow and there just wasn't enough coffee to get it kick started. Did I learn my lesson yet? Probably not.
When I did start to come to life I saw that Rock of Ages opened today. We hadn't been to a movie together in a long time and it was fun to go out as a family. Even though there were mixed review from the kids, I thought Tom Cruise did a great job playing a rock star icon who really went for it on stage no matter how drunk or unfocused he seemed off stage. Catherine Zeta-Jones gave a wonderful performance too and she is so multi-talented.
I remember performing as Tina Turner for a training class and I too held nothing back. In preparation, I practiced her moves and expressions, until it became almost natural. I was Tina. As scary as it was for me to get in front of people and sing, when the music started, I was there 100%+ and the crowd roared. I heard some one say to their neighbor "she was really good". I knew I had given it my best shot and it showed.
I believe that somewhere within us all lives a rock star just waiting to get out. Give it your all at every opportunity. Even binging can have rock star status. There is no middle ground. Rock on!
