I'm already sore...

I used my one-day pass at World Gym on Thursday. The night did not go as planned. Originally, Bhrett was going to be out of town and, in my head, I had planned a girls night at the house full of good wine, gossip and girl talk. Well, the weather was crappy and Bhrett ended up staying in the A-T-L, so I decided to reschedule the girls night and check out mat pilates...finally.

Let me just go ahead and say - this was much more demanding than the yoga class. I can already feel the burn in my abdomen! We did some traditional pilates poses - whatever that means - and a lot of sit ups and leg lifts cleverly disguised as this thing called pilates. (Is it considered a its own "method" because it involved a red rubber ball?)


Oh, and we did the downward dog. Hey, I know that one from yoga class!

I ended up talking to a sales guy after class who was half-full of "please-sign-up-for-a year" compliments (i.e. "Wow, that's a gorgeous ring. You must've done something right!") and the other half was all, "OMG, this is your first time? You're a real procrasitnator, huh?" In both cases I say, "Damn right, jerk! :-)

Anyway, so far, I haven't committed to a year contract...seems like an awful long time to commit to something I haven't been willing to do for the past 29+ years...not to mention, it's $43 per month. Is that normal?

This totally reminds me of two random things:
1. I can NEVER remember how to spell the word exercise.
2. My Get In Shape, Girl set from childhood...did y'all have that, too?

Stayed tuned for "Tales from Alicia's Bachelorette Party"...
