Plates and Classes

I have signed up for pilates classes for 5 days a week for the next six weeks. I take mat classes on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday mornings - all at 8 a.m. Then I am scheduled to work out on the reformer two days a week - Wednesday evenings and Saturday mornings…yes, I am going to try to do back to back workouts on Saturday mornings. I go to the most wonderful, wonderful studio - Pilates Tutor - www.pilatestutor.com. Amazing instructors, great classes - definitely check them out. I may be absolutely crazy but I figured it wouldn't/couldn't hurt. My thoughts are to really ramp up my workouts for six weeks to see how my body reacts. I think it will also change my mental perspective. None of that can be bad!

The key is to go to every class with the determination to work very hard and to make the most of my time - that may be challenging. Sometimes I think it's easy to sign up for things, then when you start to feel a little physically overwhelmed, participate at a minimum level. Or even begin to treat it as an obligation rather than an opportunity.

So on top of my swimming three days a week, yoga at least two to three days a week, I should see some physical and mental challenges!

I was able to enroll in a course at Kennesaw State. I am taking the Introduction to International Business. I practically had to beg to get into the class…seriously! The class wasn't full, I'm a summa cum laude graduate - shouldn't that give me some leverage!??? And, oh yeah, I'm taking Spanish II. Saturdays!

I'm looking forward to both the mental and physical challenges. Plus, being engaged with these activities will keep me home, hopefully keep me from great wanderlust…maybe.
