[I'm going to flash back a couple of days now, because I was too lazy to type this up Tuesday]
My Tuesday started off pretty crappy. I pulled my sweat pants out of the dryer, put ‘em on, and discovered that they had shrank to the point where they’re about 2-3 inches shorter than they were when I bought ‘em. Let that be a lesson, do not over-dry mesh material. They’re a weird color, somewhere between pink and purple, and of course nothing really matches it, so I basically showed up to Body Business looking like I’m color blind and wearing high water sweat pants.
I had a 6:30 appointment (at the Davenport Village location) with Suzanne for my Pilates session. I got there fifteen minutes early so I could warm up. I actually managed to do 15 minutes on the elliptical machine, which is a big achievement considering it wasn’t that long ago that I couldn’t even reach the 5 minute mark…what a difference a couple of weeks makes.
Anywho, my morning was filled with trees and elephants. Those are the names of a couple of Pilates routines. I remember Suzanne saying something about Jill Clayburgh’s mom coming up with the elephant name. Do we still consider Jill Clayburgh famous? I mean what has she really done in the past few years, besides a guest stint on Nip/Tuck last season? Guess I’ll have to check the Internet Movie Database later.
Moving right along…
I had to perform the Elephant on the reformer (dunh dunh dunh!). It was much more difficult than Suzanne made it out to be, but then again, she makes everything look effortless. Basically I had my feet on the little platform thingy and…you know what, there’s no way I can properly describe the move, so I guess you’ll just have to sign up for a session to figure out what I’m talking about. I have to say that once again, I am surprised by how much I am enjoying Pilates. I don’t get a sweaty-type workout from it, but I’m definitely seeing some positive results.
Oh, and after my Pilates session, I weighed myself and discovered that I had lost the remainder of the 2 pounds I gained over the Thanksgiving holiday. Yay me! Guess you don’t have to sweat like a pig to get a good workout.
Speaking of sweat, check back later, when I'll document my latest adventures with Moe.
