Heat Wave!

WhoooooBoy! It's hot! And we do not have any temp control in our office, so it is extra super hot. EXTRA SUPER! So, basically, I didn't do hills today. Nor did I go to the gym. I was honestly just so over it that I came home. And it was hot here, too......

The good news is that it is helping me eat healthfully. It is inspiring me to keep my food light and cold. In fact, I'm chilling my dinner right now. Shrimp and greens.

So, pilates! Today was the day! I was going to run over and then I thought, "Girl, you should probably know exactly where you are going before you take away your ability to make quick direction/location adjustments." And I'm glad I did because I did have a bit of confusion.

How was it? Well, it is kind of hard to say. I think it was awesome, but I don't know! Because I can still walk and function. And I'm kind of mentally trained to think that if it doesn't hurt, it didn't work! That said, I really do think it was good. I have three sessions to try out. My next one is Saturday.

We did a full body session for one hour. Started with a warm up and then did abs, legs, arms/back. It is interesting because I really have to be mindful of the way I'm holding my body. And I really can feel a difference when she helped me make a correction so I was doing it "right". PS, right means harder!

So it is hard to know from the introductory session, but I'll keep it up because I think it will really help me get where I want to be!

XO!

To add: I had napa cabbage with my shrimp tonight and that is yet another low calorie veggie, I found when I just looked it up now! 13 calories per cup. Nuts! This is what Nutrition Data says about it:

The good: This food is very low in Cholesterol. It is also a good source of Niacin, Calcium and Potassium, and a very good source of Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Folate, Iron, Copper and Manganese.

How hot? I look at your weather once in a while and it's never that hot. But guess I look in the morning and evening when it's cooler.

So is this a class you're going to? With lots of other people, too? All women I suppose?

I'm impressed with your healthy eating. Not sure I could survive on that but good for you!

Well, my hot is not your hot. Just as my cold is not your cold! It's been between 80 and 85, but it gets really hot in the office. But we are getting bids for AC now.

This is one on one actually. I am going to test out a few sessions. I guess they do have group classes, too, though. So I'll try those out too!

Well, I ate way more than just cabbage!
