Curvie Girlie The Diary: Mind Playin' Tricks on Me

Hey, Bunny. I gotta tell you. I feel like I'm on cruise control these days. Just coasting till I'm through with the TG. I need a vacation and not just a long weekend one. I wish I had the time to take off from work. Guess it will have to be a mental vaca.
 
OK--the past 3 days I have been over-eating and it needs to stop.

Not binging, mind you--but eating past satiety and having one too many beers or glasses of champagne. I haven't been drunk, either, because I drink slowly and stretch it out over a few hours, but 3-5 drinks over the course of a day is supposedly too much for a woman :p. Damn, it seems like whenever I drop some pounds, my body retaliates by being driven to eat my way back up. This morning I was back up to 144.5 lbs and what, less than 7 days ago wasn't I 141 lbs? I'm probably partly bloated and if I watch myself today, I'll most likely go back down, but there is no way I can keep up the over-indulging. S'ok, though--I got it under control and I'm not worried. I'm actually THANKFUL to be here, still under 145 (22.7 BMI) and still fit and all. But I ultimately know that, if I didn't overeat sometimes, I could seriously make it back to the 130s and THAT is a goal I've been jockin' on since I was 20 and gained a bunch of weight in college.

Yesterday we were still working on that one dance in belly dancing, and I was struggling with smoothing it out. Damn I wish Shandy was here so I could babble about it to her. Anyway, I definitely need to practice BD more than once or twice a week if I want to get anywhere.

Yoga was great, even though it was 1-2, Delana made much harder. I was definitely pleased with myself because in the beginning of class I was able to do on BOTH sides, and was able to get into it from Eka Hasta Bhujasana (One Hand Over Arm Balance) without issues. It's a FUN pose! It feels really trippy, too.....

Anyway, yeah I ate too much, oh well! Time to track cals, then!
 
I swear if I didn't know better, I'd say Chris is an imaginary friend of yours. Knowing someone so unique is a privilege and it's awesome that you are insightful enough to take advantage of it.

He's, of course, lucky to have you too.

I'd live to pick his brain...

Ah well, you can babble about it to me... I do some belly dancing to if you remember? Just not taking any classes right now.

You'd get along great. He is SO fucking knowledgeable. Just the other day he was explaining the different theories of time travel and the difference between black and white holes. I have a hard time grasping all that....

AH YES! Well, I'm having a difficult time making everything smooth, and remembering to keep my hands graceful and this and that, you know, putting it all together--it's HARD!

It definitely can be. Like patting your head and rubbing your belly at the same time. Takes a lot of practice (there's that P word again).

My biggest challenge is those damn zills. I can do the rhythms with no problem, but add my feet & hips moving too? Ayeeee!!!! Hellooooo bull in a china shop.

Smoothness... that's a lot of core control, or so I've noticed.
 
BTW this sucks: somehow the cut on my forehead from my 308's scope got an allergic reaction or something--an area about an inch in diameter around the cut is puffed up like a welt, but itchy with little bumps and red. Last night I cleaned it well with Bactine and put Cortaid on it, and taped gauze on it. Middle of night I woke up with it ITCHY as all hell, so I reapplied the Cortaid and went back to bed. Currently the swelling went down about 35% but it's still bumpy and raised. I know enough about the immune response, corticosteroids and inflammation to not be too worried (I don't think it's an infection) but I just find it very odd. I'll ask Chris tonight--he'll know. Shit, he knows everything from pharmacology to Intravenous therapy....
 
When I used to dance putting feet and arms together was ALWAYS the hardest part. And yeah its just takes practice. Maybe try little parts and then continually build on that. Slow and steady ya know?

:):):)
 
I can't belly dance to save my life! :p That said, I could watch it all day!

I dated a chick many moons ago who did it a little bit. She loved it and I will say that I did as well. Fun times.

I've got my choice of extra curricular activities narrowed down to three gyms here in London. Just have to decide if I want to take up Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Muy Thai or some other thing an acquaintance recommended. Decisions, decisions.

I've seen some pretty spectacular male belly dancers.

I'd recommend taking MMA if you can find it. That way you can learn all of the above. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is good if you want to learn floor grappling, that's for sure.

I want to learn Keysi and/or Krav Maga... I just need to find a place around here that teaches it.
 
He did, yes--he complains that his eyes are screwed up by the diabetes, and he gets horrible migraine headaches. He seems to have the brainpower to remember all sorts of information and I'm constantly like, "HOW do you know that?!?!!?" :eek2:
 
All right, I need to concentrate, I'll be back. :leaving:

I joined Dee's "135 or Bust" thread in hopes of motivating me to count calories and diet, so that I can see the 130s this year! Damn, I haven't been in the 130s AT ALL in 2008--the closest I got was last week, 141.0 lbs, and already I ate my way back up! Time to track calories :D Wow this is a fucked up time or year to diet, LOL
