I started doing a pilates workout every night.  My sister bought me a mat and resistance strap and two DVD's; one for pilates and one for yoga.  I also stopped by Barnes & Nobles this week to use some gift cards I received for Christmas.  I purchased the book, Pilates for Every Body, by Denise Austin.  It's a very good book with a lot of details and it's been helping me to get an understanding of the purpose behind this exercise technique.  I'm also going to start working out to her Fit & Lite pilates show and her The Daily Workout show.  I've been feeling better already and have felt more relaxed after the 30 minute sessions. 

Well, have a wonderful night and God bless!

I hope everyone is doing well.  My sister bought me a pilates DVD and a beginner's yoga DVD, along with the floor mat, block and strap and I started the first session for both last night.  It was hard work doing the stretches etc, but I felt good and relaxed when I was finished.  I am also reading the "New Guide to Relaxation: Pilates, Yoga, Meditation & Stress Relief" from Parragon Publishing.  It's a great read so far and I am excited to try the relaxation techniques; although, I won't be doing any chanting during the meditations, except if I'm speaking God's word.  Have a great night and God bless!

I was very happy to see that Gov. Huckabee came in first last night at the Iowa caucuses.  I'm looking forward to seeing how the votes turn out in New Hampshire on Tuesday.  For more on this story click on this link:
