Thank you guys for all the advice.
SynchKat, I agree that I might be squaring off my shoulder as I come in on the second half of the lobe.
And thanks for mentioning about thinking to counter-rotate my shoulders Doubletoe. You guys are right, now that I think about it, I do feel my upper body spiraling into the circle when I lose control.
I was not sure what I should be doing with my arms. I recall being told to start with my free leg out back then at the midway point I should switch that leg to the front, and also my arms should switch?

ONskater what you've said makes me wonder about this switch. It looks like it is when I switch my arms that I go offtrack. So I suppose I shouldn't be switching my arms at all.
About to head to the rink. Hoping that tonight's public skate won't be quite so crowded and could get a corner somewhere on the ice to try this again.
