2nd Session - 8th Day

We didn't have our weigh in nor our measurements done today, but I had a FULL hour of pilates this morning. Twenty minutes into the work out, I was breaking a sweat.

There were a few exercises I just couldn't do properly. It was difficult keeping my neck and shoulders stable in the right place.
After the class, Shannon, my pilates buddy, and I caught up. This was the first meeting with each other after the first introduction session last Saturday. I asked if she was sore after the first session, and she pointed right to the middle of her stomach, this was where I was sore too. I felt a sense of comfort.

I am still sore from Canyon Ranch, but I'm hoping I'll feel better soon. Ironically, of all the classes I participated on, the "Pilates with Props" was the one class I just could not keep up with.
I'll try to go for a run tomorrow to keep up with the cardio portion of the work out.
One week has passed, and I'm still going strong.

Don't feel nervous about the weigh-in and body measurements. If you are heavier and bigger than you would like, then it is just more for you to lose and feel proud of at the end. If you were in the shape you wanted, you wouldn't be doing this in the first place!
