New excitement

Aug 11, 2006 13:35

I'm going to learn to bellydance.

I found a local class in lawrence taught by Maya Zahira that's once a week, pay as you go, all levels. It seems like she's based in Lawrence but does classes all around the area, so maybe I could eventually get in a regular beginner class, too. It's worth checking out, anyway.

I'm getting all excited thinking about it. Plus, I've been feeling very fat lately, and this woman lost 100 pounds in her first year of dancing. I only need to lose about 30 or 40. If I could lose 40 to 45 pounds, I'd be back down to my ideal weight of 130-135. I haven't been that small since I started college. And that might never happen again, but even getting back down to 145 would be amazing.

Plus, if I get good enough, I can get a full costume. And we all know I'll take any excuse to wear a costume of almost any kind.

I'm going to give this a shot. Wish me luck!
