Pilates and Step here I go!

Tuesdays, I am loving. I love Pilate's, although I still feel soo new to the whole idea. I don't know what I need to do still and feel so self conscious about the whole thing. I rarely think of myself as a whale, but sometimes when I am in there, there are all these 'CUTE' women, and then me! I guess this will go on for a while. But eventually, I will start to blend in.

We used some kind of rubber band WIDE...and to my dismay...I broke one! I can't believe it, not the whole thing, but I was supposed to stretch it through my back and wrap it around my arms, and so...and it snapped. I think the instructor noticed the sound, but I was soo fast to toss it underneath my Matt...that I hope she did not notice. I am taking the strand that broke off and see if I can purchase one to take next week. I feel bad, but I did not want to say anything...specially because I was 10 minutes late to class. I need to coordinate better with Jorvik and getting there...I am always fast but rather be early than later.

As usual, this class leaves me feeling all my flabby fat insides. I don't know but I guess I must have muscles on what they call the 'CORE.' Because I sure feel them and it goes for a couple of days. So I just hope I can do the moves the right way so that they can start doing what they are supposed to do.

Afterwards, I stayed for the next class that is called STEP...or something like that. It is a class that I took with Emily in Utah. They combine aerobic exercise with weights. I think I am pretty good and coordinated, nevertheless, I was feeling a bit tired and did not do the whole work super properly, but kept up. I think the weights did their thing and they were tiring. I just kept looking at the instructor and she is this cute cute tall very tall and lean woman. Apparently her boy is in the kid's club with Jorvik, because I saw her pick him up. What a contrast. Mummy and kid, and Momma and kid. Not for long I hope, I am tired to be this way and to have to carry all these weight all the time.

Traumatic events today we were working on our triceps...MUCH NEEDED! There is this move where you put your arms behind you on the step board and lower your butt to the floor and come back up. Well, even though this move is very very hard, with this HUMONGOUS TOOUCH there was no way I could keep it up. My wrists are not that strong, and it is just plain way too much weight to do. I sometimes surprise myself, because for all the work I do and all the energy I have with this overweight, I am still pretty sport and game.
