The Shashi Mesh socks have been the absolute best socks for me. They don't slip around on my feet when we are planking and really stay put on my feet. I have problems with so many of the other socks I've tried sliding around on my feet.
Justin Timberlake tickets when he comes to town this fall! (I'm 58) My adult kids are going with me and we are all excited!
Good day to you. You're strong and you can do this. I hope you feel the goodness coming to you from all the other wonderful people (you included) who are responding.
"Like sweat dripping down our dirty laundry" - Slow Hands by Niall Horan
I hear this line and my mind immediately starts working through the dirty laundry basket, and why is there so much sweat, and how much sweat CAN there even be and why is it in the dirty laundry and more... I cannot get past that line to enjoy the song! (also it sounds to my ears more like "like sweat dripping out of our dirty laundry).
I used to stop there with my kids when they were little. My youngest loved the rattle snake pit they had inside the gift shop. That entire thing is gone now.
My parents eat at Stacy's every single time they head home from our house! They love the food, love the people there!
I'm here trying to figure out who it was that was actually sent home from this trip... was it Mary?
Sorry I didn't respond sooner, I just realized this question is sitting "out here". At the time, since I'm not in the market for a reformer, I never asked where the reformers are sold once the club doesn't want them anymore. But I see on Facebook that there are several marketplaces dedicated to selling used pilates equipment. You might have some luck there.
Me too -- this was such a good story!
I love this thread, and kudos to everyone for their grateful attitude and the wonderful things coming.
For me, this week I'm looking forward to:
- 4 day work week and my vacation to visit my parents.
- Cozy evenings and enjoying the last chilly days before spring weather kicks in.
- I just got a raise, so I'm looking forward to the next payday to see that impact.
- But mostly -- vacation!
The trainers at the club I go to have told us that you can buy those reformers used for much cheaper than new. Maybe you can find a gently used one and save some cash.
I was told by a much younger and much more stylish friend that yes this is a new trend.
Those dresses with the shoulders that stand up away from the shoulders.
Ridiculous looking.
So much hard work! Congrats on reaping the rewards...even tho they're scary and painful sometimes.
I put my one-size-up clothes in a bag in the corner of my closet for a while, then when I got down another size... that set of clothes was donates and I hung onto the one-size-up stuff. I'm currently only storing my current size! ...but that doubt does still sit in my mind at times.... this is not an easy process.
I have gone through this process...I'm currently "on the other side" and I'm here to say it's fabulous. Do it. Put the money out of your mind..it's gone anyway and you're still fine (I gulp as I say this cuz this was really hard for me).
Through the process of dropping 85 pounds, I HAD to let go of clothes and it was sad and painful sometimes cuz "I felt pretty" in this or that or "this was my favorite".
Go a little at a time. Try things on and if you don't feel really good in them, donate them.
I felt so good as my closet began shaping up into quality options that I can actually wear.
I hope you have a good experience as you dive in. Good luck! You can do it.
Go for a walk.
Read.
Being alone to recharge.
It's a great feeling to be greeted by name. I know it sounds small as I type this, but when I walk in and they greet me...by name... I feel welcome and positive... definitely a dopamine rush. 🌞
Glad you had a great class, too!
I've been so tired all week and overslept this morning. It's weird how one hour can mess with me to this extent.
I really miss the "Club Pilates" merch with the logo. I buy those when they come around, and I get a discount because I'm on an unlimited membership.
If merch with the name of the club or the town was included, I'd buy that for sure. I've seen members with those logos on sweatshirts/shirts, but I never see them hanging up. Anything without a logo, I can buy much cheaper elsewhere.
my intro class was on a Saturday. My studio also has a weekly beginner class every week on Thursday evening. So odd that your studio only offers the test-class during work hours! I work a corp job, and definitely cannot go during the week!
Maybe you can call the studio and explain you need to try it out but can't go during the week.
