I have been receiving some feedback that many who wish to try pilates are feeling intimidated because there is a lot of verbiage/talk of activating certain muscle groups and areas of the body that are completely foreign to those who(m?) are unfamiliar with pilates basics. There are 10 Pilates Movement Principles, each of which areContinue reading “Pilates Movement Principles and Beginner Exercises”

Third-trimester
Good Morning Readers, My third-trimester snuck up on me at some point in the last couple of weeks, and now everything is happening at once. It has been more than a month since my last post. Right around the time I was starting to think, “Hey, this really isn’t that bad!” By ‘this,’ of course, Continue reading “Third-trimester”
Conundrums
Good morning Readers, and pardon the rambling. In light of the new year I have been doing some serious self-appraising, soul-searching if you will. I am beginning to learn that there are certain things about myself, and life in general I suppose, that I have always taken for granted.

Diets, Foods, and Numbers Pt. I: The 3,500 Theory
My thoughts on dieting? Here is the first of three posts I have on the subject!
Long-term Recovery
I spent the past couple of weeks recovering from a very annoying cold and arguing with the chillier weather and earlier sunsets (yes, arguing. I stood on the porch shaking my fist at the sky, yelling, “Whyyy!?”) Whilst preoccupied with this time consuming pursuit, I started focusing less on the things that make me feelContinue reading “Long-term Recovery”
