I Want to Bellydance...

...without turning a fearsome shade of magenta.

I want to eat better. I want to sleep better. I want to feel better. I want my back to stop hurting all the time. And, I want to help my depression.

So. I am putting the cart before the ox.

Why I Didn't Followback Your Thinspo Blog.

What is Supposed to Fall into That Thigh Gap?



What I'm going to be using:




MyFitnessPal
Couch to 5k
Serpentine: Bellydance with Rachel Brice


What I'm not going to be using:

"Thinspirational" photos of gaunt models. I am 32 years old. I am a mom. I am not an legally exploited 9th grader from Slovenia adorned by over-privileged misogynists.

"Fitspo" posts of heavily photoshopped models pretending to be realistic role models. No, you're not going to look like that. The woman in the picture doesn't really look like that.

I can’t tell if that sounds awesome or ominous.

I got to see this live. Seriously, he was jaw-droppingly good.  It was incredible.

I am putting this on both my tumblrs.  So there.

The dog got all her shots done today.  Now she can go out for runs, too!

Fresh Prince of Bel-Air | The Big 4-0

So much sass!

This is my favorite episode! 

I’m not 40, but I hoped my return to ballet last year would be like this episode of Fresh Prince.  It was not ;)
