A Newcomer's Absurdly Ungraceful Journey Into The World of Pilates

Day Nineteen

Pilates. Powerhouse. C-curve. Forward bends. blah... blah... blahh.....

I want to talk about shopping.

So I went shopping yesterday after my workout. I have a "gig" tonight playin' piano for a local choir concert and wanted to look snappy. Normally I do not like shopping. Perhaps it has to do with the traumatic experiences in my past: my children's unguarded commentary, crowded parking lots, nothing in my price range, nothing in my "size" range.

I did not start out very optimistic.

Guess what? I totally Pilatified all over the place. (Doesn't that paint a picture in your head!) Grabbed a skirt I didn't think would quite fit, but they didn't have it in a size bigger. Ditto on a really cute top. But I tried, totally anticipating failure.

Tah-dah! Both fit. And fit well.

Hallelujah! Love ya Pilatification!

So, moral of the story: If you have the pilates dvd at home, do it!!!!!!

Love it! Now the challenge will be to keep up the Pilates while directing your play...
Don't let your hard work be in vain! It's ok to slow down, but DON'T STOP!

Good luck!
