Forgive Me Blogger, For I Have Sinned...

It has been 15 days since my last post. I know God understands even if Blogger doesn't. Besides, Blogger has been acting weird lately - it won't let me sign in like I should so I can add comments to other blogs like a normal person. I wind up having to go the name/URL route just so I can write something. So maybe they should be asking for MY forgiveness!

Anyway, the last two weeks have been busy with writing assignments, dentist appointments, getting ready for the new school year and more. I kept telling myself "I will blog tomorrow"...but then I didn't. Now that's what got me in trouble in the past with putting off exercise and eating right, so I don't want to go the "tomorrow" route anymore.

The good news in all of this is that I have a writing assignment I'm extra excited about. I discovered a great place to spin only 20 minutes from my house, and I get to write about it for Westlake Patch. This will be an ongoing, first person series of my adventures at Psycle. You can read my first article in the series here: "Start Spinning Your Wheels at Psycle". If you have a chance check out my other articles as well.

I'm thrilled to share my journey on the bike with you...and I promise I WILL post more often here! :o)

Pilates - You HAVE to Try It!!!

I finally got to try it. I've been wanting to try it for years...learning all I can about it, reading Pilates Style magazine, and checking out the infomercials on the various Pilates methods and equipment. I'm not sure why I kept putting it off - wait, that's not true. I DO know why...fear. Fear of hurting myself becasue I did it wrong. Fear of looking like an idiot because I'm not a size 4. Fear in general. I'm happy to report that my fears were unfounded. I had my first Pilates session last week at BodyWave Pilates in Westlake, and it was amazing. I highly recommend going to a studio when you first start, because the instructors are trained to customize the workout for each individual body. I was able to do more than I even thought possible at this point...and my body feels so much better! I also wrote an article on the studio for Westlake Patch, so if you'd like to see pictures of my wonderful instructor Janice demonstrating some poses and find out more about Pilates, check my article link here. I can't wait for my next session on Thursday. And no, I can't perform the move pictured about yet, just like I'm not yet ready for my People magazine bikini cover shoot. But I will someday...well, at least the Pilates part! ;o)
