Last night, Stoner, C-Berts, Peppy and I went to a Pilates class. I have become quite enamored with pilates classes over the past 8 months or so, mostly because, similar to Yoga, it's fake exercise with many benefits. (Unlike yoga, there is no silly chanting or silly "find yourself/thank yourself/let go of worldly possessions/obsessions" bullshit. I kind of like my attachment to the Internet and celebrity gossip, thank you.)
Now, I have been doing Pilates about once a week since June, with a month or so hiatus. But, man-o-man, last night was difficult. And a little more yoga than we all wanted.
So, to counter-act the push ups we had to do (what are we, soldiers? NO!), we went out for sushi. Now, there's a treat. A late dinner with some wasabi and making fun of push-ups. And, to quote one of my new favorite movies, "Wasabi makes everything better."
It could not, unfortunately, stop the mild aching in my abs and arms. I bet DDP could.

I'm REALLY craving another one of those avocado rolls. Sherbs -- your love for asparagus may be analogous to my love for avocado, considering I crave it just about all the time and can eat both 'mole and tomato/avocado/fresh mozz salad by the gallon. Or maybe that's just ice cream.
Monday. Monday will be MUCH better. Julie doesn't make us do pushups.
Love,
Stoner
SOOOOOOO MUUUUUUUCHHHHH PAAAAAIIIIIN!!!!
(ow)
I love In Her Shoes! So much! My lil sis and I want to marry Simon. Even if he's short. Do you think he would make a shiksa goddess convert?
Last night, despite the pain and humiliation, was fun! Can't wait till Monday.
I do pilates videos in the comfort of my own home with my roommates. It is classy, and I don't even have to brave the weather.
I think C-berts and Sherbs would both agree with me about the benefits of going to pilates classes. 1. Motivation -- I'm more likely to go to a class and work my ass off than to do hundreds on my rug in the privacy of my own home. Without being watched, I don't think I'd perform as well. 2. Teacher feedback -- I often don't do things "right," and it's great to get that input from a trained instructer. 3. It's really funny when someone in the class farts. (Not that it's actually happened. But it could.)

Sometime in the near future we should post about avocado. I love it too, and don't eat it often enough.
