Well hel-a-freaking-lo. A big ol' MY B for zero posts last week. 

Oh, what's that? You didn't even notice. Perfect!

You see, last week I was much too busy finishing up my Pilates training to play the role of a so-on-top-of-it-this-is-the-bird's-eye-view-of-my-clothes blogger. 

But just in case you're curious, I was rocking the whole homeless fashion look last week. 

WAIT WAIT WAIT!
Back up, home girl. Did you say finishing up Pilates training?

I. KNOW. Aren't the cool kids these days just saying ikr? Anyways what the what what what. Yesterday was my last training day for my comprehensive Pilates certification. I spent the past week doing and learning to do this...
And this...
And this...
And this...
That is a whole lotta pictures of me back to back. Sorry 'bout it.

I slept a little and complained a lot. Just so you are aware of all the juicy deets from my past week. But seriously, I've been making some puhretty suggestive noises while foam rolling out my back and shoulders these past few days. 

A year ago my group started our comprehensive Pilates training, and since then we've met every eight weeks to continue on to the next system of movement and learning. Here we are in February 2016, and I have eight weeks to cram my brain full of all the Pilates knowledge, history, movement, background, and principles I can possible recall (and all the Pilates movements that I can possibly make my muscles strong enough to actually do) before I fly to Florida in April and test out. 

So, that being said, I'm off to go study joint capsules and figure out how to get the lower abdominal strength of Thor's bigger, stronger, and lesser known brother, Sore. Be back when I finally learn how to spell everything anatomy related.

So exciting! Congrats. And I'm very impressed with those hanging moves. Good luck with your studying... my mom is doing the same now that she passed the in-person test, and wow, sounds like there's a lot to know! She's finding flashcards helpful. Oh, and once upon a time you asked me what method she was training in and I finally remembered to ask: McEntire.

p.s. I don't know how you call those awesome patterned pants "homeless style" - they're fab.
