Is there Bellydancing move that involves the tail between the legs?

Total failure.

I've dropped the ball on quite a few things these recent days. :-(

But I'm back. So while I'm not pleased that I didn't make the 30 days of this particular exercise, I haven't given up on improving my figure and bringing a new experience to my life which is ultimately the point, right?

I did change bellydancing videos from one that was exercise-focused to one that is more focused on the dance part. It's still difficult and a little unnatural for me, but I did better today than I did yesterday and the day before... so must remember the ol' adage: progress, not perfection.

It's been over a week since i've reported out to my challenge mates. Better news since my last post, though! The reading has been delicious - i've finished "Under the Banner of Heaven"* and will almost immediately finish "Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk", by David Sedaris.

Yes. i know it's a short book, and an easy read. But i'm reading slowly because it is yummy brain candy and it makes me giggle!

Sleeping is more of a challenge. i made a serious tactical error midweek - accepted an invitation to an outdoor concert in a city an hour away on Wednesday night. Returning home at 1am, with an alarm clock squawking at 6am led to a bit less than 7 hours sleep.

But i've worked hard to make up for it this weekend!

Onward!
