“The moment inbetween what you once were, and who you are now becoming, is where the dance of life really takes place.” ~ Barbara De Angelis "Nothing happens without personal transformation." I decided one day I wanted to change. I wanted more from life. I realized that if you want more, YOU have to make it happen. You have to go to it and create it. The most powerful weapon against a mediocre life is practice. And just like a fire, the human spirit needs to be lit again each day.

August 12, 2007 Finally, some pics...gym climbing

So...if you have been reading my blogs, you will know that I have been trying out indoor climbing.
My goal is to eventually get outside to climb. At my own pace...I will get there. I want to learn with experienced climbers, but I am a beginner who is not trying to impress anyone or become something she's not. I just like to have fun and like learning new things!
"BITE ME!"
At least I have the balls to get out and do something different!

Anyways, I have made some really great friends at Stronghold lately. I'm loving life more and more. I look forward to it more and more.
I met up with new friends, Karen and Fred today, so I decided to get some pics. I want proof! hehe I have been documenting pretty much everything I am doing on my "to do" list. :)
(yes, I have a "to do" list!)
I found a new route that I really really like!!! It has a lie back maneuver on it. I can't quite get it yet, but I keep praticing though...never gonna stop until I get it down.
I was finally able to put my other arm up. This shit is hard! For me it is anyways!


I felt that I did pretty good today. I climbed the route that I call the angry route. It put a bad taste in my mouth one Tuesday night... I climbed it better and faster today! I had a lot more confidence. Yay!
This pic is me climbing up my fav wall after I got out of my lay back position...I go off route a lot right now. One day, I'll stay on route. I promise!
They posted this pic on the rock climbing website I joined that a friend referred me to. They put my pic on the main page for new photos. hee hee I think they do that for everyone though...
I sooo love doing this!!! Yay! It's fun! Hard but fun!



My friend Fred has been climbing for 7 years on and off. He's a very nice guy. I met him through my new friend Karen. They climb outdoors. I think we are planning a trip outside in October. :) I am so stoked!!!









This is Fred on my lay bak wall that I like.















This is my friend, Karen:











She just started climbing too. She is getting stronger. I love climbing with these guys! We have so much fun!















Anyways, I was so hungry afterwards! I treid to get 2 friends to go out for Mexican but no avail. Luckily my neighbor, Jason, who I love so dearly was game!


My God, this is the life! I would so die if I could not eat Mexican!!! lol



Here is Jason when he finds he's gonna have to pick up the tab! haha






This is the shirt I wore climbing today! I thought it was very appropriate. lol
I love them XMEN!





Me and Jason









Today was an awesome day! I feel so good after climbing. Yay!
