Weighing more

Good morning everybody.
I've been wanting to continue writing on my flying trapeze blog but unfortunately I haven't been doing much flying these last couple of weeks. We had a whole week (a week and a half) with bad winds, so bad that we had to cancel catching. Before the wind, we had rains so I spent a lot of time indoors, watching trapeze videos & eating up the pounds of Swedish Candy I brought with me.
Unfortunately, I gained 20 pounds since May. I'm about 5'9" and weight 128 lbs & now 148lbs.
Trust me, no flying for weeks & then yesterday I went up to swing.
I never felt so out of shape!
It didn't help that I had a cold, even if it was almost gone.

FLYING IS SO MUCH EASIER WHEN YOU WEIGHT LESS!!!

It's gonna take a New Years resolution to change this road.
From today I will start doing static trapeze & cardio.
Cause I can't work on any of the things I was going to work on and write about: like my progression of my swing, new tricks OOL & more catches/returns.
So today, I will start on my journey to get back in shape. Follow it, if you will.
I'll post a video of my progression on the static, starting today
And if anybody knows any specific exercises for the flying trapeze, please let me know.

Addicted to flying trapeze

Hello world!
I decided to start a blog about my flying trapeze addiction, which has led me through a 14 year journey and has ended up with me owing my own flying trapeze rig. And it's pink! Yes, fluorescent pink powder coated over steel. She is beautiful and her name is Venus.
As I live on 20 acres I could put up Venus outside of my dwellings.
So the Cotton Candy Club was born; a place to train & practice with fellow flying trapeze enthusiasts.
The reason for this blog is that I am constantly talking about flying trapeze and figured I needed an outlet.
I will write about everything under the sun in regards to flying trapeze & flying on the trapeze, or anything else that flying trapeze inspires.



Isn't she pretty?
