I don't normally make New Years resolutions. Quite honestly, I'm the sort of person who recognizes the need for change, decides to change, and then does. I have re-evaluated some decisions in the past, but for the most part I stick to my resolutions. But, these past couple months have been rough for me, so I feel it's important to change ( Read more... )

Have you ever found yourself walking down your front hallway and realized that you're exaggerating your hips more than normal? Or have you found yourself walking to a conference and realized that you're strutting your stuff much more than necessary? This is a sure sign belly dance class is working ( Read more... )

Today is my last day of dance tryouts before I pick classes for the next month. Up today is Modern and Zumba. At this point I've already decided that Zumba is the route to go, so I'm really trying out the Modern class, but since Zumba's offered today I'm going. I've also managed to convince Malia to come to the Zumba class. That ought to be ( Read more... )

Zumba class kicked my ass. I am nowhere near as coordinated as I used to be. But, I was able to pick up on steps decently quickly. I talked to the instructor after class to see if she thought I could handle the modern class and the answer was yes. Of course, I don't think I'll be able to make class this Thursday, but we'll see ( Read more... )

I have settled into a routine. Probably too routine and not enough spontaneity. I work, come home and do homework if I have any, watch TV, read a few chapters of my current book and go to bed. Day in, day out ( Read more... )

I used to write pretty regularly on here, but I'm not sure why I've stopped. I'll think about it every now and then when I read other people's blogs, but rarely does that translate into a post. But, I figured I should force myself to churn something out - even if it is no good.

I only have 4 sessions left with Dale, my trainer. It's very nerve-wracking. I'm worried that I'm going to lose motivation to keep going to the gym. Honestly, it's been rare lately for me to be there when I'm not working with him. Between school and work I don't have the time. School's going to get even harder over the next couple months - up ( Read more... )

Do you ever have an off day? Does it ever follow you to the gym? Mine did and it was super confusing for me. I've had a long few weeks at work, and while I accomplished a lot yesterday, it didn't seem nearly as busy as the past couple days. So when I got to the gym, I didn't feel stressed, I was ready and psyched to be there, etc. And then we ( Read more... )

I don't know about you, but I'm not a big fan of shaving. I mean, I like the end result, but the actual process is a pain. It makes my shower time infinitely longer, there's potential that I'll cut myself, and sometimes I run out of shaving cream mid-process. No good. No good at all. Since it's fall...almost winter...and the Atlantic Ocean is ( Read more... )

I have tons of thoughts floating around in my head, a good portion of which I'd like to post here, but I can't quite figure out how to thread them all together into a coherent post. So, I'll just write them as they come along ( Read more... )
