So what’s been happening

I wanted to do a brief summary of what the last few years have been for me & us So after my 3rd miscarriage my world just fell apart. I had no idea who I was anymore.

She said she would correct me on my form and keep me right and mostly not to worry. All positives. The class itself though, hmmmm not sure. I think it's one of these classes that you will eventually see results in unlike the classes I normally do where I sweat a lot or feel the muscles the day after. The relaxation bit at the end was completely wasted on me. I'm physically incapable of relaxing. Pilates The things I had heard from friends about Pilates was more what I was looking for in ...
