[Girl♥Health]: Daily Workout Stats

Type of Workout:  Walk around the neighborhood with Finn, then on the treadmill.  Pilates at home.
Duration:  1hr (and 2 min)
Calories Burned:  at least 174 cal. (not sure how much I burned during pilates)
Description: 1 mile walk with Finn, followed by a 1 mile walk on the treadmill.  Finished up with 20 min of the basic Malibu Pilates workout.

After about 10 days of not working out because of a cold Nate gave me, I started back today pretty easy -- I definitely decided to do Pilates instead of breaking myself back in with a run.  Unfortunately, a mile into my walk with Finn it started to drizzle, and since neither he nor I felt like a chilly walk in the rain this morning (actually, Finn never feels like a walk in the rain.  Poor guy hates it.), I cut it short, came home, and finished my 2 miles on the treadmill.  Pilates, as usual, followed.  And the great (read: really not great) thing about Pilates is that, if you stop doing it regularly, even just for a little while, getting back at it is like starting all over again.  Core-weakened, muscles flimsy. 

In other words, pathetic.

But it was nice to work out again, to get back to a healthy routine.  And speaking of, I know I haven't posted my January action plan and, since it's nearly the end of the month anyway, I'm not going to.  We'll pick it up again in February, kay?

Pretty standard work-out.  I find myself wondering if I'll ever be able to do all the pilates positions and reps without stopping because my arms or legs feel like they're going to fall off.  That's a nice little goal to set, I think.

This was a nice way to ease into the week. In keeping with that theme, I followed pilates with the most amazing bowl of yogurt ever consumed in the history of the world.  If you don't currently eat Saint Benoit yogurt, you need to hurry up and get on this train.  Especially if you live in Northern California, since it's completely local, sustainably produced, and you get a deposit back when you return their jars to them through your grocery store or their stand at local farmers markets.  It's also just absolutely delicious, and this is coming from someone who traditionally hasn't cared for any yogurt ever.

Yummy yogurt.

As I mentioned, I definitely skipped the run today and substituted in a 20 min Malibu Pilates workout.  Nate's mom recently got the Malibu Pilates bench and a few DVDs, so I decided to give one a try.  It is such a workout!  I couldn't even finish all the reps for each position and I just know I'm gonna be sore all over tomorrow, but it was a lot of fun (I love pilates to begin with) so I'm gonna stick with it.  Has anyone else ever tried it?  Did you like it as much as I did?

Though I haven't gotten my January workout action plan together yet, I think I'm gonna do pilates three days a week and run three days a week, that way I'm working a variety of muscles and hopefully won't get bored doing the same old thing.

In other news, my blisters still hurt.  Bastards.
