Firstly hello! I went missing for a while, (kidnapped by education) but I'm back.
Finally.
So whilst I was taking a little holiday with my history assinment, I stumbled across a pilates class and decided to give it a go.
I think I should explain something. For, like, ever, I've thought of pilates as yoga for the people who can't touch there noses to their belly-buttons or double for a human rubber band. So, I kind of imagined this class to be a bunch of people trying to do yoga moves, but failing miserably.
Not so people.
We did push-ups in pilates. Push-ups! And leg exercises that felt like they were burning away the muscles in my thighs, and sit-ups that were ten times harder than normal ones because the instructor wanted us to do them in slow motion (feel every vertebrae leave the ground), and planks that literally made my muscles shake. (Note: not planking - planks. Planking is for the weak.)
(This? Its not me. But it is hard.)
Pilates is not yoga for the flexibly-challenged of us, its actually a work out. Which made me feel really good about my self and apparently gave me the right to then go and eat Reese's peanut butter cups.
Which, if I can just say, are amazing. And addictive. And terribly, terribly naughty and pilate undoing.
So here's a quote for the week:
Leave anything with the word 'chocolate' and 'peanut butter' together alone. Instead, drop to the floor and give me twenty.
Have a great rest of the week!

PS. The great thing about writing this quote myself is that I don't actually have to live by it. Its a quote writer's rule, you know. Besides, I still have to finish the packet. ;)
