I'm a bellydancer. Have been for eleven years and I don't plan on quitting anytime soon. Over the summer, I won third place in the biggest belly dance competition in the west, and I was 7 months pregnant!
It has been very tough for me to get back into it. Troupe practice used to be every Sunday and I stuck with it throughout my entire 40 weeks. I don't drive, and taking the bus and the metro with an infant through a seedy area of a big city during winter months is not a good idea. But now one member is offering us a ride and I'm really going to make the effort to go every week. I've missed many performances these past four months but there are a couple coming up that I want to participate in. Mid-April is a big showcase and I want to be twenty pounds lighter (atleast!) by that time. That's more than 14 weeks away at this point.
My goal loss is around 1.5 pounds per week on a reduced-calorie diet along with exercise. I really feel like I can do it. I want to do it.
Just ate some chili for dinner. Had two cups, even though a serving size is only one. But I'm still 450 calories under for today. This is probably because I don't eat breakfast - my son and I sleep in until noon most days because he never goes down for bed before 1:30 am. I want to do an exercise video right now but can't really get any privacy in the house. I'll probably end up doing something at midnight tonight after everyone has gone to bed. Once it gets nicer outside I'd like to take walks with my little boy too.
I want some hot tea right now, but I always drown it in sugar so I know that's not a good option. I'm making the effort to drink more water but I don't really enjoy drinking it unless I'm thuirsty.
Until next time.
