A Day Off! Or not.

Yesterday I was a little excited that I didn't have to workout, and then I remembered it was Wednesday and I have Pilates. No day of rest for this girl!  Most days I see Pilates as an opportunity to escape from my crazy job and relax for one hour.  I free my  mind of stress, I stretch, I laugh, I half-ass the exercises, and I come back to my desk refreshed.   Since I knew ahead of time that I couldn't work out after work, I pushed myself extra hard in class.  I completed almost all of exercises and felt stronger throughout the session.  I wondered if my dedication to a healthier lifestyle is finally paying off...or did I just feel guilty that I couldn't workout after work?  Definitely a combination of both, but I'm glad I pushed myself to maximize the hour long class.
