Pilates, Belly Dancing, and Jingle Bells

Last night I went to the gym with my boss for free tour. This included a 30 minute Pilates class using the the Pilates machine. Have you guys ever used one? I have done Pilates in the past on the floor...hateful exercise and super hard...but never the machine. Here is a picture of a machine, although the one at the gym had more bells and whistles.

Wow it was tough! It was awesome to try it though, bc usually a full hour is $20. After that, we went and did some circuit training, and finally went to our belly dancing class. Now I have done some belly dancing on FitTV. Great for the abs. This class was different though. Our instructor was normal sized, full of tattoos, and a litte full of herself! It was an hour long class and she spent probably 35 minutes of that covering the basis moves. I had a great time wearing my jingle bell skirt...I need one real bad! But, I expected more of a workout. It was actually more of a how-to-really-bellydance class.

Day 3 of the A-squared challenge has begun, and I am doing good. Havent checked in with Angie this morning, but I will shortly. I am trying to get back on to my vitamin routine bc I have fallen off track with that. I added a new vitamin in addition to my multi and calcium. I has taking prenatals, but will try this instead for hair loss and my nails.

The only one that is missing is my B-12 sublingual that I take M-F, two little pills before I walk out the door. You pop them under your tongue and they dissolve, sort of taste like grape/cherry. This is my brand, but mine are only 500 mg's. I am supposed to get 5000 a week. That's why I take 2 a morning M-F.
Also, I wanted to show you how I can sit in my desk chair now. It is hard to see in this picture, but I am sitting criss cross applesauce or "Indian style". Wouldnt have been able to do this at 327!

Hope everyone is having a great day. I have to teach a class I dont enjoy this afternoon, so I look forward to this work day being over~!
