This week’s is more on the Blast from the Haylee Past…

I’m doing Winsor Pilates these days with the "circle." Anyone tried it?

Well, lets just say it is harder than it looks and is known to produce some grunts and groans along the way.

It’s really interesting trying to do Pilates on the rug when your 3 year old automatically thinks it’s playtime b/c Mommy is lying on the floor. Or she wants to keep talking to me and asking me questions during the grunting/groaning when I can barely get my breath let alone talk normally.

She will get down with me occasionally and try to "exercise" with Mommy. It is pretty hilarious watching her try to bend and move and mimic the video, "Inhale, exhale… I need to pump my arms etc."

During one particularly gruesome exercise where you’re doing your best to just hang on as long as the perky little girls on the screen are and the woman says after a long list of instructions… "Don’t forget to smile!"

Well, my Haylee heard that and checked me out to see if I was obeying.

I wasn’t of course.

So she felt the need to instruct me, "Smile Mommy!"

If she only knew!

If only there had been Loseit back then!  Maybe I would’ve actually lost some weight!
