Day 29 Groundhog Day

Today was another mish-mosh of stuff.  I had the trainer in the morning (she kicked my butt) and then had choir rehearsal at night.

When I got home, I watched episodes of Modern Family with Geoff even though I really wanted to go to bed. Sometimes it's the little things you say yes to that matter most.

Day 16 - I might be obsessed with Pilates

I got another coupon on Lifebooker for more Pilates classes.  Even though I didn't sleep very well last night, I got my ass out of bed at 6:45 and went up to Gramercy for a beginner Pilates Reformer class.  Turns out I was the only one in the class so I basically got a private class for $11.  Not bad! I really love the way Pilates feels in my body.  I feel like I'm working really hard but slowly and carefully.  It's pretty awesome.  If you haven't tried it, I highly suggest you do.  I went to Gramercy Pilates Fitness this morning which is a really nice studio and I highly recommend it.

Day 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14

Sorry I was behind so I'm lumping these days into 1 post.

Day 9: Saying yes to my music.  I actually am making myself rehearse for my show on my birthday.  This is something I rarely do but my fabulous guitar player Mike makes me do it and I am grateful for that.

Day 10: Yes to fitness. I decided after my training session was done that I still had a bit more in me.  I went on the tredmill and did a bit of running.  It felt great. 

Day 11: Pilates Reformer class.  I am totally obsessed.  I am now scouring groupon and lifebooker to see if I can find discount classes anywhere.  My body felt so right after class and it was wonderful! I highly recommend it. Also yes to watching Mad Men all night with my hubby.

Day 12: Yes to pole dancing.  Now many of you would say, "hey, she already does pole dancing" and you'd be right.  However, it's been months since I had been in a class.  This was a great re-awakening of a fun activity that I had no idea how much I missed it.  Also, geoff and I had brunch with our friends Jenny and Ryan which was so great.  Jenny and I also rehearsed for a song we're going to do at my show.  After that, we had my in-laws over to watch the golden globes.  All in all, a very good day.

Day 13: Yes to seeing old friends perform.  I went out to Birdland in Times Square to see my friend Christine Lavin do what she does so well.  It was a wonderful and inspiring performance full of laughter and wonderful songwriting.  Jeff Daniels Ervin Drake and Julie Gold made appearances and it was a fabulous show. I also introduced a friend and fellow songwriter to Christine and she really enjoyed the show as well. 

Day 14: Yes to tap tap tapping away.  I went to my first tap class in over 10 years.  My shoes were a bit tight but I was surprised by how easily I picked it back up.  There are only 4 women in my class which makes it a lot less intimidating.  So much fun!
