Since January I have been quite the slacker in my x-training.  I have of course kept with my cycling and Pilates.  But I have not done the other aerobic x-training and the weight training.

I have had plantar fasciitis.  Still do but I am getting treatments for it.  That has prevented my running and other impact aerobic x-training but shouldn’t prevent the weight training.

I think it has mostly been just discouragement from the plantar fasciitis but that is no excuse.

It’s June 1 so it is time to start with weight training again.  By posting here I expect any of you who read this to hold me to it.

And if you have never tried Pilates I highly recommend it.  I think it is the best thing  I do in terms of carrying over to every other every day activity.  I know it has improved my bicycling.

I thank a friend for forwarding this hilarious but timely pic.

That is the title of an article in Parade Magazine this morning.  The article goes on to talk about how you can’t make improvements if you don’t learn to accept yourself.  Good advice that I think we all would agree with.

Now look at the picture they had with the article.

She could sure use some improving in her body.  Ironic isn’t it.  I think it is so commendable how they used a middle aged slightly over weight mother with a few stretch marks admiring herself in the mirror to promote the concept.  NOT!
