I am so addicted. I can't get enough! I love the class but basically I love the way I feel after class. I'm so energized. I love it. I've put on a few pounds because I've quit doing cardio. Oops! It's just that I'm planning my gym time around pilates everyday. I guess I have to start using my free time and going and getting on my elliptical or something instead of playing on the furum.

Well, pilates is 2 hours long. I sleep a little bit and I take care of the dogs and kids and play with them. I finally hired a cleaning lady. She's wonderful!
I sit on the furum when Gillian sleeps and I also do my homework during this time. I could get my homework done a lot faster if I stayed off of the furum (like thats going to happen) and than I would have time for cardio. I think I just need to get over my pilates addiction and only do that 2 or 3 days a week.
I will probably start losing the 5 pounds soon. I had to put my husband on a diet. He is scaring me. He works so much and so hard and he's always grabbing fast food and whatever junk they have at the office. I'm doing the diet with him to keep him motivated. I don't want to lose more than the 5 pds. I've gained or I'll be too thin. Once I lose the 5 pounds I'll just diet when he's home and just eat healthy when he's not home.

Good for you, getting the help to clean. You were running yourself ragged...
Hey, how did that big Thanksgiving hew-haw go? Was it good to see your family? Why did I take this long to ask? Guess I was way too wrapped up in myself this week, with the property thing...
5 pounds shouldn't take long to get off.....week or two at the most. I have lost a pant size in a month and I am still getting smaller. I have found that not eating after 4 o'clock does wonders....
Thanksgiving was wonderful! I soooo loved seeing my family. I see my husbands family all of the time so that wasn't any big deal. I don't see my family but 2 or 3 times a year. My mom and dad I see a little bit more but not much. They all stayed at my house. Which was nice because they were close and I didn't have to fork the bill for hotel rooms. I wouldn't have cared but I would rather have them here and they did stay. I was so excited. It was such a blessing. I used to take my family for granted because when I was growing up my family all lived in the same driveway. Literally! There was one long driveway and a bunch of other driveways split off of it. Now that I'm way up here with no family except whats in my house it gets lonely. I had a perma-grin for the whole long weekend. My husband is mad at his mom right now and no one knows why. He won't even speak to her. I just got off of the phone to her and she doesn't have any idea why either. She says she is sick to her stomach because of it. That really depresses me. I want him to get over it.

Maybe she insulted him, said something about something that he did not agree with... Don't take her side. Always side with your man... I don't even want to speculate about what it may have been. Always side with your man... If you are nice about it, it makes you very caring, he will see that there is room for him to drop it, but...ALWAYS side with your man....
I've definitely sided with him. He just isn't one to talk about things that are bothering him so I called her to see if a conflict had happened that caused him to get angry. I have ideas about what its about but I haven't told her and I'm not asking DJ about it either. He loves his mom and it won't last long but still..... I just don't understand fighting in family. I mean, come on, it's family. My family never fights. We all lived in the same driveway and I'm not talking immediate family. I'm talking aunts, uncles, cousins, great aunts, great uncles.... It sounds crazy I know, but thats the way I grew up and I just don't get it. I mean whatever he's mad at his mom for can it really be that bad? She's his mom. Anyway, like I said, I am siding with him and she knows it but I still don't understand.

Hey Zoe! I haven't talked to you in awhile! Glad Turkey Day went great for ya'll :) Sorry about your hubby and his mum. I'm sure things will work themselves out. My husband and I have an agreement when it comes to family....if I have a problem with his family, HE addresses it, not me, and visa versa for my family and me handling it. If he has a problem with his family, I completely stay out of it, lol. Family issues can be tricky sometimes
But anywho...the pilates thing..lol. I LOVE pilates! Course, I have never been to a class. But after I had my daughter I did the Windsor Pilates workout tape and alternate between that and my aeobics and exercise bike. They aren't kidding that pilates create lean muscle. I'm a dork because if I ever lift weights, I barely lift any and my hubby gets on me. But I don't want 'bulky' muscles, lol
