I added 6 minutes of cardio on the rebounder today and used the timer because 2 minutes is either a long time, or it isn't. It wasn't as long as I thought it would be. QVC has a different Pilates machine on sale right now and the show is on at 5 pm. I caught a few minutes of it last evening and came away with a few exercises. Especially one for the butt. I tried it for 10 reps on each leg today. I didn't "feel" it so know I am not doing it correctly. And one of my wheels has started to squeak. When I watched that few minutes I had a whole different way of looking at what the demonstrators were doing. Whole different way. I even visited a Pilates site with just floor exercises and tried one and after one try, my feelings were "oh, sh*t" am I not ready for this. I have a long way to go.
I'm reading Anne Tyler's Noah's Compass. I believe I started reading this book when it first came out but didn't finish it. It is slow and boring but I am going to read the whole thing. Next up is Elizabeth George. She has lots of books so I figure I can be busy reading her for the remainder of the winter. I like Inspector Lynley. And England is sort of near to Sweden? Nearer than I am in Maine even though Maine does resemble Sweden. A lot.
PBS has the final installment of Downton Abbey tonight. Who will Mary marry? Pretty obvious. Will the ladies maid get her comeuppance? Probably not. Will they replace the blind cook? So many plot lines in such a simple little story. I wish there were more episodes.

I have a good book recommendation for you. "The broken teaglass" Emily Arsenault. NOT slow and boring.
May I add my support to your Pilates workout. Pilates works but maybe you'll either need to get some vids from the library or a personal trainer for a couple of session. I was never really convinced about Pilates until....
Last year when my dd went to visit my sis for the summer, 4wks. My sis took dd with her to Pilates classes. I was AMAZED at how my dd looked when she returned. I mean simply amazed!!! Of course I purchased all the Pilates tapes and books I could find on Amazon but not using them doesn't help.
Unfortunately, I have no space for a machine but I purchased a laptop to use my dvds, so it might happen yet!
That shouldn't have been Anon. It's me, Gema.
Forgot to ask for a pic of your Pilates machine....any chance of one?
There has to be another series of Downton Abbey! Too many loose ends that need to be tied up. Like Thomas and O'Brien getting their due...what terrific bad guys they are. I'm also in love with the clothes..the dresses are gorgeous layers of deliciousness!
