Pilates-tastic!

This wonderful looking contraption is one of the machines we use in my private Pilates session. It looks like a torture rack hey? Well it can be torture for my abs!!! Its called a reformer, and this is what is going to help my get rid of the jelly belly!
I really enjoy my private Pilates session- really feel like it helps a lot with my core strength- also I walk with a lot more consciousness of my posture. I have had terrible slouched shoulders for years, partly due to lack of confidence! But slowly its getting better, as I keep correcting myself more.

Had a really good food day yesterday- stuck to my plan, and didn't feel hungry, so managed to stop myself from unplanned snacking! Have struggled with that the last couple of weeks.

Just thinking now how I had planned on giving up running for a couple of months after the Bridge Run to let my body repair. I am really going to miss my runs!!! I had planned on taking up swimming in its place... I'll have to put some thought into what my new exercise schedule will comprise of, especially as I now want to increase my weights/resistance training as well. I'll post a proposed new plan shortly!!
