dancing through life

Went to Belly Dancing class.

Part of an 8 week series.

 These are Jazz Ballet shoes.

Going through some motions.

The previous class is more advanced. 

They have all kinds of drop-in classes....

I get a comp class for the one I missed.

I might try Nia  (link) Have you heard of it?

It's like a free-form dance/yoga/martial arts.

One local Nia instructor also offers Dervish classes!

Slow Belly Dancing 

..............................................

It's fun to just move around for the length

of the song! My moves are more like a robot,

than a belly dancer. Must be the Army training.

I love the music and heard alot of it 

during the first Desert Storm.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

I ended my "fat fast" tonight.

Modified a wee little bit.

This is my second fat fast.

The infamous Keckwick diet!

Atkins recommends it as a "jump-start" technique.

5 days total - it went well.

My 32 (men's) pants are a little snug.

But the 34's are falling off. Go figure!

(Much better than 48, at any rate!)

All in good time, my pretty - all in good time....

Hope you are doing wickedly well 

And having an awesome week!

Trying anything new lately?

biggest little county

A farmer's market in downtown Rockwall!

Local things from far and wide

Kinda makes your mouth water, doesn't it?

You can't get these in the store, they tell me.

 

Local talent entertaining the shoppers

Taking a plum break

Rockwall is the smallest county in Texas.

And one of the wealthiest!

I walked into a tree  *wham!*

Someone saw me do it, and asked it I needed stitches.

No, I'll be fine once the bleeding stops.

Went on home to avoid a heat stroke and sub-dural hematoma.

Coffee and cream

Diet ginger ale and protein

Salt and pepper

Here and there, back and forth

Here and Now

Getting ready for Monday evening...

The office group is going belly dancing,

and they asked if I wanted to go along.

At first I was like "No!"

Then I was like "Why Not?"
