It’s going to be a great day!

5 year MS anniversary! Time to celebrate! BOOM!

It’s going to be a great day!

University hospital Coventry first for my 6 monthly eye check!
This is just routine for me due to my fluctuating vision from my MS. I always have a ‘visual field’ check first which I had last Friday, so today I’ll get the results from that too
I’m not expecting it to show any problems but fingers crossed any way! This is how my MS was detected!

So what else is on the cards for today? Tuesday 11th August… did u mention it’s my 5 year? Surely I didn’t forget!

Pilates today, can’t wait! Seems such a long time because I couldn’t attend Fridays class!
Hannah is covering Kates classes again this week whilst she’s on holiday.
I always enjoy Hannah’s classes, her energy is incredible! She covered Laura’s MS exercise class yesterday & it was great!
I couldn’t resist taking a photo of her when she arrived in her florescent clothes to show off her amazing tan!

So, eye appointment, home to right post about my 5 year (did I mention that?) and then pilates this afternoon!

Bring on pilates!

Passion

Ever so slightly addicted to Pilates

It’s true, it has to be said, my name is Vix Edwards & I’m a Pilates addict!

I say it out loud but this is nothing I want to fix!

It certainly is!

I look forward to every class, I’m happy to be there.
It challenges me, I challenge myself.
It annoys me, I get frustrated.
I quietly release my tension, I take a breath, I relax & then I’m calm!
This is how Pilates helps me!

When you have found your passion do not let it go! Stick at it, practice more often & reap the bennifits!

Kate, my Pilates instructor is on a well deserved holiday now for 2 weeks so today we had Hannah.
I get on with Hannah really well & love her energy. Her Pilates is different to Kates class but different is good!

My ‘hundred’ was much stronger today, the practicing at home is paying off!

Thank you for today’s class Hannah! I hope u have a wonderful break, you deserve it babe!

Goals are set

I Seriously am feeling so proud of myself!
At home I’ve been practicing different exercises that we do during Pilates, in particular the stretches shown above & today I nailed it!

I managed to hold the stretch on the right (‘Tree’) for nearly 45 seconds & I felt as though I was really strong! The stretch on the left I find difficult to stay strong because I have to switch my focus as I go from ‘tree’ to this one. I managed to hold it for 30 seconds today with a bit of a wobble! Okay, I doubt I looked as elegant as the pictures above but I look better than the very first time I was shown how to do them!

Not only that but I was doing these stretches on a ‘power plate’ this morning and for me, that is impressive!

I guess to some it doesn’t seem much doing these stretches but, for me & many MS’rs (people with multiple sclerosis) balance is a major issue. When I started attending the Pilates classes in February I had hardly any balance & very little co-ordination, this is one of my main reasons I started going to Pilates. Since then my core muscles needed for balance have been getting stronger.
