Day 45

Pilates - what is it good for - absolutely nothing?

I've now attempted pilates three times now. I don't get it, Mr. Joseph Pilates. I hear it's supposed to strengthen back muscles etc. but I can't really get into it. Then there are all these strange Cronenbergeque accessories you can buy with it man. The only thing I've ever tried and liked was Pilates Sculpt, a dvd that combines weights and pilates. I'm sticking to Yoga.

Exercise TV

This is an on demand feature that I really like. On their website, they actually have a workout plan and the order to the certain videos in. I'm trying it their 5 day plan the week before the Oscars because that's when I do my first weigh in after a month. I really like Violet Zaki. She's Australian and does really interesting combinations. Plus, she's got a body to die for.

Rich Food = Happy Crystal, well sort of

Today is the bf's birthday so we went and had lunch. I had a macadamia nut brownie Sunday (split it of course) to die for but the bastards put some sort of additive in the Caesar salad - I suspect MSG but I can't tell. So I have a really bad headache but it was worth it for the brownie, it's a little slice of heaven. But it was a nice splurge and I'm starting to really appreciate the taste of food again instead of just hoovering it in my mouth:) Happy V-Day everyone:)
