Jessica Alba I will be, so help me God

Oh My God - I'm in so much pain!!!
Tonights pain was totally self-inflicted at my reformer pilates course. (Which I am absolutely loving by the way)
Tuesday's pain was kind of by choice but I stepped innocently into an open pilates class with the gorgeous Karla who I have now re-named the 'Smiling Assassin'. Little did I know her love of travelling lunges, duck walks and crab laps!! As a result I have not been able to lower myself without my thigh muscles screaming. Sitting at the computer was hard but getting up from this chair is going to be harder!
Wednesday I stupidly agreed to help out one of the instructors by allowing her to use me as a guinea pig while she practised her routine. God I'm stupider than I thought.
So... having done very minimal exercise in the last 6 months I opt to do 3 open pilates classes in 3 days!! Can anyone say 'moron'?
Excuse me while I get Kahuna to rig up a rope and pulley system to lower me into a hot bath...

Just in time for summer


Two of the wonderful girls from Yarraville's 'Energy For Everybody' are re-opening their Yoga and Pilates studio in the next couple of weeks. They have taken over the LOOK warehouse on Somerville Rd and the new 'PILATES AND YOGA SHED' will open on the 20th.
Thank god because I for one need a complete overhaul before the sun starts shining on a regular basis. I have every faith that Melissa and Jody will be able to sort me out in time! (yes they are that good) They are putting in reformer beds which I have never used before so I think a beginners course is in my future... hands up if you think I'll be able to see my abs by December?
