The Kind Of Pain I Like

Oooh yeah. My FOBuliciousness is in full effect.

I decided that the best revenge is one in which I feel happy and (even better) I look fine.

So.

That means I've started to work out again. Granted, I can't go buck wild like I used to due to the back injury that still hasn't gone away but I work with what I got. And that means Pilates. Holy. Shit. Who knew pulleys and straps and padded benches can whoop my ass that bad? ...on second thought, what I just described sounds strangely like either some weird medieval torture device or the tools of what I joke around as my second trade. In case you guys don't know, I jokingly say that the skills I've picked up from my day job can earn me the title of "Mistress" should I decide to moonlight.

* ahem *

Moving on.

PARTY LIKE A * wannabe * ROCKSTAR!!!

I've been going to Pilates. I've been stomping on the treadmill again but above all, I've started to dance again. I had forgotten how that kept me in killer shape all those years. In a weird way, it's a good thing that there are things I will always do well. Muahahaha!

Me and Mr.475 aka Boy-I-Bought-In-A-Drunken-Haze-During-A-Charity-Auction
And now we're all friends.
Life is crazy like that.

Holy crap, I can feel muscles burning I had forgotten I had. My abs are on fire, my arms feel like jello and my legs feel like mush. Freaking AWESOME! I know the chances that I will have the body I had when I was competing is very very slim but dude. I'll be happy if I return to the body from 2 years ago....wait, that was close to what I had when I was competing. Hm. So it's do-able.

Freaking rock on.

...like in a karaoke room in Ktown.
Good friend(s) + Good music (caterwauling like fiends counts too) = Good times!

	so how is the back doing with pilates? i'm hoping to try to start pilates at home with those 10 min discs just to see how my back handles it. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	ladymandarin 2008-03-12 12:05 am UTC (link)
	you know, i did yoga at home with those DVDs before and i was okay.... but i noticed that it makes a difference when i have an instructor. my back was able to handle it well. how is your back? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tupa4 2008-03-12 05:52 pm UTC (link)
	it hasn't been bothering me and i've been trying to walk to work everyday so i'm hoping that helped strengthen my back. i just hope i don't do pilates and then the next day i can't get out of bed! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	you know, i would suggest going to a studio because i told them i hurt my back a few months ago and they were really careful with how i positioned myself and what i did. with a DVD, you don't get that kind of supervision, you know? are you getting followed for your back? if you are, you can ask them if pilates is appropriate for your injury at this time.

	not since i've moved out here. i was going to PT prior to moving and he told me if i were to do pilates, to just do it one exercise at a time so i know which ones aggravate my back and which ones didn't. i've done some of the pilates moves on my own w/o the video and so far it's been okay!
