Yesterday was a pretty good day! Had all my water, vitamins, iron and ate reasonably. I'm not worrying so much right now about WHAT I eat (although I will choose something healthy if it's at hand) but just not eating compulsively. I eat when I'm hungry. Work was boring but not stressful. Kids were pretty good except I had to cancel text messaging on the cell phone because the kids were abusing it - so they weren't happy, but handled it OK. (Isn't it pitiful when you say to your kids, "We all have to sacrifice in these hard times" and you're talking about a CELL PHONE?! Lord, they don't have a clue...) Went to SCA meeting and took my friend his tunic I made. He wasn't there so I don't know if it fit yet. Tried it on another fighter, though, and it looked good, so I guess it's not a total bust. Hung out with
thalionarwho is just such a neat person. And what a pretty lady! I SO covet her hair. Princess Dot is a sweetheart. In my business it's so refreshing to see such a happy baby and know that she is loved and cared for so well. Then I stayed to learn more about belly dancing from the amazing
francesca_la and a new lady named Bambi that I think everyone else already knows. That was fun! It was also good for me because I needed the exercise and movement. I was sweating like a pig when I was done, but I am glad I did it. I took belly dancing once a while back and really loved it, but I was too self-conscious to do it here. So now I'm just going to jump in and try to get better at it. I really enjoy it! I was also pleasantly surprised to see that I could get one of the pretty, jingly hip scarves around my big hips. No, I was SHOCKED that it fit. That whole body image thing, I guess? Now I want to make a belly dancing outfit! Hey, that's a goal - by Pas I want to make a sexy middle eastern costume and be ready to dance at the bardic. Today's goal is just NOT TO LOSE MY MOMEMTUN. I always do great with my water and my energy level, but by Wednesday I'm dragging and I get lazy. So if I can get through today - I'll worry about tomorrow later.
