What's on your (PHOTO) Friday Menu?

G'morning all!

QJB - sending you good jujus.

Jen- you do a lot of Pilates. Have you ever tried the hot Pilates?

Backstory: DH does all workouts. It's normal for him when he WFH to surf before breakfast, go for a run at lunch and take a hot yoga or hot Pilates class in the evening. Last week he was really sore from hot Pilates and I told him to quit his whining. So he triple dog dared me to try the hot Pilates with him this week. Well, last night I went with him. Holy moly! The workout wasn't that hard but the room temp was at 95!! 35 minutes into the routine I started to get woozy from the heat and had to step out for a minute. The cold cement floor outside the studio felt like heaven. I didn't give up though (couldn't give that satisfaction to DH), went back in and finished it but I will never go back. The instructor was a very cute athletic Australian girl, when we finished she was trying to give me pointers to acclimate better during next class. In my head I was "lady, I came because my husband triple dog dared me. I will never ever step foot in a room this hot for exercise!"

QOTD: all three. I think the state of CA should hire me as their spokesperson. I sound like one of those on TV who says come to CA, we have everything here. So here's our beautiful purple ocean sunset:

and here's my trails in the wood where I jog every other day.


Haven't been to the mountains recently, otherwise I would have added that pic too.

My meals yesterday

• B: coffee

• E: hot pilates

Happy Fri-yay!

No way could I ever do any type of workout in a 95 degree room.

I did it once and now I know it's not my cup of tea.

NOONE and nothing would make me to do anything in a 95 deg area. I live in SC and we get 95 to 100, or warmer in summer with high humidity. Nope. I start sweating when a room is 71. my ideal when I sit down is 67-68 max, but I found 64-66 very pleasant unless I have bare feet/knees and my arthritis gets annoyed with me.

95? just no.

Right there with you! I workout with a fan blowing on my face.

ME TOO!!!

I have not tried hot Pilates! I did half of a hot yoga class once though and I would be more likely to join you in a 10k jog then in that hot Pilates class! You are awesome (and stubborn) for going back in!!

Stubborn is my middle name

When I was little my mom used to call me "mulo"!

I haven't done hot Pilates, but I've done hot yoga. Couldn't stand it. I HATE heat!!!

I wonder if it's a woman thing, not liking the heat. The class had a majority of men. Usually these classes are more populated by women.
