It's been snowing for much of the day, here, although it got a little above freezing for a few hours this afternoon, so there's not too much lying around (probably just enough, and just slushy enough, that the yard will be an ice rink tomorrow...).

This morning, I went to try out this new Pilates place. It is, as I told Mike when I got home, a suitably hard workout for me at present, having not done mat classes for a year and a half. Whether I'll still feel that way in a few months, when I've learnt the exercises, is another matter.... Certainly, I can feel that my abs have done some work!
I personally feel that the instructor spends too much time on her mat, which is a particular problem when the room is arranged with two parallel lines of mats and she's on one in the middle of one line: I couldn't actually see what she was doing, and had to guess based on what the people I could see were up to. On the plus side, she did say that they were hoping to set up a higher-level class if they could get enough people interested. On the not-sure side, she made a comment in passing to a particular set of exercises being this term's focus, which explain why I didn't try them out when we first moved: there was at least one studio I didn't bother to contact because their website said they took a two month break over the summer (and places that do that also tend to have several weeks off over Christmas and Easter), and I'm now wondering if that is where I've ended up....
GB's most recent blood test results are in: 49, which is still higher than it should be (20) but vastly better than it was a could of months ago (130-odd). The vet had spoken to the specialist at the testing company, and we're going to try pre-emptively increasing his dose next August in the hope that his levels won't spike like they did this year. I'm also going to have another test done in March or so, to see if we can take his dose down between then and August. |
