Another day in the grinder! Lol, all joking aside, I am
loving what I’m doing but it is tiring NO DOUBT!! Ryan woke up early with me to
head on down to Coach Club to check out one of my workouts! There was a freeze
this morning so one of the camera guys was very late and we ended up waiting
around for about an hour before we got started but it was nice to have Ryan come and check out what I've been up to.
I was feeling pretty cruddy this morning but trying to hang
in there and stay positiveJ We shot the first one (workout #16) and it went
pretty well! Just after we did the run through for the second workout of the
day right before we went to film it the boom/crane camera went out. Well let me
clarify: the camera itself was working but the tilt function on it stopped
working, they think the motor went caput on it. So we had to shift some things
around in order to accommodate the rest of the day.
We got through workout #17 and I was feeling TIRED and
stuffy through lunch. I have this little trick where if you’re suuuper stuffed
up you literally sniff up hot water through your nose. It’s super uncomfortable
and it makes you cough and it feels terrible but it really loosens everything
up and allows you to breathe. I didn’t really care that I was so stuffed up but
it was making me sound really nasally on camera lol! So I had to set aside about
10 minutes after lunch to get all raunchy with the water up the nose trick
reapply my makeup and get back to it but ….BINGO! It did the trick! I also
FINALLY got my hands on some cold medicine during lunch with Akil my
interpreter.
BAM! Done with workout three and then we did 10 technical
segments. Walking home in the rain I realized I forgot to mention something
very interesting about Parisians. Despite the fact that the majority of what
they eat is either soaked in butter and fat, bleached white pasta and bread or
super fatty meats and cheeses, they are all for the most part very thin. They
also walk INCREDIBLY fast!! I noticed it right when I got off of the plane in
fact. Ryan and I were walking up this really steep ramp at the airport just
after exiting the plane and there was this super old couple in front of us that
were just HOOFIN’ it up the ramp! I felt like a fat lazy cow! I mean these old
folks weren’t joking around! And that’s how most Parisians are….walking at
lightning speed everywhere they go….always in a super hurry. Combine that with
the fact that they all smoke like chimneys and it’s no wonder they’re so darn
skinny! Ha!
Well we were supposed to be filming some teaser footage
tomorrow along with interviews and some technical movements, so I was really
looking forward to a physically relaxing day but now because the crane camera
is broken we have to film three more workouts tomorrow….boo!! Oh well, hey
we’ll be more than 2/3rd of
the way done by tomorrow!!! I keep joking that this is going to be my most fit
Christmas everJ Speaking of Christmas, I finally attached a
pic of our little Christmas tree that the owner of our flat set up for us. On
either side are our Christmas stockings that I insisted we bring from home
since I am such a Christmas fiend I HAD to have something to remind me of
home!:)
Anyhow, I am really looking forward to getting some quality
sleep here so I’m heading off to bed now. Until tomorrow….
REVIOR!!
