Love Tuesdays

I think I love Tuesdays, because I just love to see Judy. My Pilate's instructor. She is an icon. Really. She is an older woman, but by this, I mean, someone like Carmen...the model. The epitome of what beautiful might be as a person seasons. She is just fit, beautiful, has poise and is older than me, for a change. She is something to look forward to. I think in this respect, my mother has been the most amazing example of all. She has gracefully aged as well. She is beautiful, she is always thinking and acting on ways to benefit your body in what you eat, what you wear, how you wear it, and how you go about you. She is tall and trim, and has taken her years to achieve and maintain. I often, think why she is soo hard on herself, and maybe that was not the word all these years. Maybe it comes naturally to her. I am finally understanding by grabbing a yogurt, instead of making me a grill cheese...does this come with age? Any how, class was spectacular, she had almost double the size and there were a lot of men. It was great. I am getting better at the poses and exercises and feel hopeful since I have started to see changes in my posture and flexibility or lack of it should I say. I feel more comfortable but don't know that this is because of the classes/weight class after Pilate's, but because of the STEAM experience afterwards. I love the steam room and can't get enough of it. It is not usually very hot, so I can stay in there for 30 minutes or more...usually I only have like 15 minutes to spare (child care is only 2 hours). Weights are also starting to show their magic. My upper arms are starting to look tone and it is exciting. I wished the bottom part would show too, but I think I have to get rid of weight for this to happen.
