100 things: fitness and exercise 17/100

Dinner helps everything be better.
Steak, tater tots, a lovely Zinfandel, some blueberries, should all help with my recent case of anemia.

Made it to the gym tonight!
Not a super long session, but I did some cardio, some weights (I have to eat greens and fruit only before next session, I ate buttered rice with cheese and herbs and got a very acid stomach) and finished up with light stretching.

Been over a week since my last gym visit, and the bod has been complaining about the lack. Got turned on to the chance of a blues dance event not far from here, every Thursday. I've never done blues dancing before, though I've watched others dance ( thinking of tshuma and dougygyro at Lark camp, and it's lovely, flirtacious, and sensual. Should be great, though taxing on thigh muscles.

Gotta date tomorrow. Really looking forward to it.

More dating, more dancing. Life is good.

I've never heard of blues dancing before this. I found some vids of people demo-ing it and couldn't figure out how in the world it worked--how was the lead cueing? I found this tutorial, and now I want to try it!



Is that a good one? Do you know of other online examples that are better? I thought that one was the most charming, but maybe there are better ones out there.

oh. mi. gods. ADORABLES!!

TBH I'm just trusting that my past ballroom (and a little bit of Latin dance) experience will be enough to get me started. Haven't gone looking for video yet, so thanks for sharing this delicious tidbit!

Subtle cueing. Subtle lead. Good to remember!

Uh, not that I have any strong opinions about it or anything, but I'd recommend more protein before your workout, and saving the carb hit for after. For more info, see item 3 on this list: http://www.stumptuous.com/the-top-5-nutrition-mistakes-youre-probably-making, or anywhere in the eating section of the stumptuous website.
