Healthier Me, Step One: Update

Well, the daily bellydance practice hasn't been a great success.  I find that I'm having a hard time trying to figure out when in my day to put it.  Pondering it today, I've come up with an idea.  I'm going to try it about the same time as my bellydance class, which is 6:30pm.  Basically, after dinner, but before kid bedtime.  I'm hoping this will work well for several reasons.

First, it gives me consistency, which is helpful when trying to change my daily routine.

Second, it gives me something to look forward to in the evenings, instead of stressing about when I'm going to find time to do it.

Third, maybe it will help keep me from overeating at dinner.  Feeling bloated and stuffed is not very conducive to successful dancing.  Especially not in a way which almost constantly moves your midsection in a sinuous manner.

Fourth, the stretches and breathing exercises done before and after the practice might help me decompress at the time of day when I actually need it.  

So, that's what I'm going to do this week.  Learning, growing, moving forward!
