Tuesday ohhhh Pilates

I felt good today, is the first day that I can stand straight without any reminisce of pain from the weekend. We are ready to put up the Christmas tree, except that Alf has to go and gather everything with the boys...because I really don't want to tempt this again. I did Pilate's today with lots of caution and weary of not hurting anything. I can feel the body getting stronger, but I also feel a few pounds like 3 spilling again. What is going on. arghhhh. Any how, I told my SET instructor if it was a good idea for me to do weights...and she said, OHH NO. Specially the dumb bells...no that would put a lot of pressure on your back, so skip it. So I thought I could do the treadmill, but she suggested the elliptical. That that would be good for my back. So I did a pretty good 50 minute work out, then headed for the jacuzzi for 10 minutes and the steam for 15 min. This is the best part of the work out. Truly nice, especially with the achy foot and back. What is this...old age?
