do Pilates every day

Unfortunately due to a minor surgery, I have not been able to do anything resembling Pilates for a couple of months, and will not for a few more, since I have to have yet another procedure. I’m not too happy about this.

Looking at my last entry, it’s been a while since I’ve done this. I did my basic routine tonight for the first time in a very long while. It felt good. My husband and I are both trying to get in better shape (we’re getting newlywed-soft), and I’m going to try and do Pilates at least 4 days a week. I’d like to work up to doing it every day. I need to pull out my free weights, too, and tone up my arms. I’m not overweight at all, but I want to tone and tighten.

at the request of my fiance, who wanted to watch. It felt good to stretch and move, and it gave me energy. This might just be the motivation I need to start working out more regularly (and the fact that it showed me how much muscle tone and flexibility I’ve lost).

I used to, and I loved the way it made me feel. It gave me energy, boosted my libido [not that it needs a lot of help ;)], gave me an awareness of my muscles that helped my posture, and increased my flexibility. There are so many reasons to start again, but I just haven’t. Maybe I’ll make this a personal challenge or something. I think my body looks good, but I want to be in better shape so I can have more energy and flexibility. I tend to have very short, tight muscles.

I feel like a lazy pig, especially since my boyfriend has become so dedicated to getting fit. He wants to look his best for our wedding. And it’s really paying off.
