:) yay

I did it :) tonight was amazing!!!! Such a big thanks to all the RMIT girls and boys that made me feel welcome!!! It was so awesome to get back into it and realize I don't actually suck that much. There are a few things to work on, flexibility, fear and technique when cradling but with the amazing coaches I think this is all possible. I can feel myself feeling better already. Physically and mentally.

Perhaps a Red Back?

I just got an email from the coach of the Red Backs asking me to come along tonight to get back into things. I'm excited and nervous and worried I wont be as good as I use to be...not that I ever was the best. I gave up on updating this page as nothing good was happening and my cheer world had ended. I watched my fb news feed fill up with my old team going to uni games and winning, whilst I worked my usual ridiculous hours behind the bar. It sucked and I sunk into a bit of a funk as this all happened, I dreamed of getting back into it and well I had to make the first move by sussing out teams that still have open sessions even though its mid season.

I did my first session of yoga last night after I had my hips screaming at me all week. I went to an osteo appointment with a new girl and she didn't seem to fix me at all but after being in so much pain I gave up on being stubborn and hating the damn thing I tried it, it wasn't that bad and may do it more often.

I also want my 6 pack back....sucks not having it but I'm hoping this new team can motivate me to work harder and hopefully will accept me.

My god I'm scared.

No more Viper

I found out today that I didn't make it into poms. I couldn't think of anything worse. I have nothing that makes me a viper anymore or a cheerleader. If I wasn't injured and so bloody damn scared I could of continued Cheer but because of a hard decision and not feeling safe I decided that I would give it a break for a year and just to do poms. Poms try outs were hard, scary and embarrassing. I thought I would pull through after missing a few classes due to having to work out of state for a couple of weeks but I just didn't cut it and not up to the standards for this years team. I am heart broken. I don't think anyone would understand this except fellow cheerleaders.

Re visit

I had to go back today, to the ward I stayed in :( I had to see if they would give me a re print of my medical cert after my boss threw out the original one. I kind of got a little emotional. It just brought back the memory of how painful it was an the realisation of giving up my passion. Hmmm :(

I was always told I was too short for most things, then I became a flyer and hearing the words 'your the perfect size' never felt better.

Today, day after the gym

I'M  NOT IN PAIN!!!!!!!!!! :) I didn't do too much but I did spend 20mins on the tred and 10 on the bike (not long I know but my ribs were starting to scream). I did stretches, I can still touch my knee with my nose when in a straddle position :) and my boyfriend helped me try n get my chest to the ground in the same position which I was so close to. I haven't lost all my flexibility!!!!!! I really should go today but the one we went to is really expensive....might just have to suck it up until I can either go to the one in my area or uni's gym.  One thing I did want to mention....I was walking on the tredmil and I wasn't able to start running, it was a fast walk until I put on the vipers 2011 music, it pumped me up so much I ran for 5minutes (both pom and cheer songs) and then was able to keep going. So happy.

Gym

Going to the gym for the first time since the accident. Going to try and take things slowly, possibly only work on the bike and tredmil other than that a few stretches, see how long my back lasts. Have to work tonight so can't afford to push it to much.

Progress 12/01/12

It's been a little difficult the last couple of days, pain wise. Very stiff but some good news!!! My coach is letting me train with my friend from another squad, we are going to start doing partner stunting in a pool so I can get my confidence back :) I will be staying with Vipers for pom or jazz depending on what I get into.
