Should I or Shouldn't I?

So Inge calls a few minutes ago with a proposition...

Inge: Are you busy Monday nights?
Me: (Suddenly suspicious) Why?
Inge: They're offering Beginning Belly Dancing at Bountiful Junior High for 8 weeks for $45
Me: Hmmm...Well, it hasn't been on my list of things I absolutely would love to do...
Inge: Julie and Janeen did it and it's supposed to be really good for your stomach muscles...
Me: Is this about my spare tire?
Inge: It's supposed to be really fun!
Me: It's not that, I'm just afraid that I'd throw something out and not be able to get it back in...

Actually, my hesitancy exists on a few different levels.  First, the above fear of throwing something out is totally true.  Second, there's that spare tire to think of, that I would not want to put out there for a bunch of other women to see.  Third, this would mean I'd actually have to enter Davis County once a week, which as Steph delights in pointing out, is not something I generally do.  But, my motto for this year is to practice living fearlessly, and this would certainly give me opportunity to do that.  So...I've agreed to think about it for a few days. I'll keep you posted.

two of my sisters have done it and love the workout they get. nothing thrown out. and i think both of them keep the belly covered - not sure how form fitting the shirt was, though.

You should TOTALLY do it!!!! It's a great aerobic work out and it's something new that you've never tried before. Why not?

Goals

One of my goals this year is to go on a backpacking trip. It's something I've always wanted to do, but been too intimidated to try. Well, a few weeks ago, one of the girls in the Ward invited me on a backpacking trip to the Uinta's this summer. This time I immediately said yes. All was well until a few days later when reality set in and the thought of carrying 30-35 pounds of pack on my back while hiking in rough terrain just about made me cave. I did not have all the gear I would need, nor was I in good enough shape. The gear is something easily worked out. Most of it I can either purchase myself, or borrow from highly motivated friends. The physical conditioning was another matter altogether, so I decided it was time to get in better shape. I've been pretty good at exercising regularly, and I'm in ok shape for someone approaching a milestone birthday (if I say so myself). But I knew I needed to put in some extra miles, as well as add strength to my legs ...

New 'Do

For probably the last 10 years or so, I've had pretty much the same hairstyle. For the most part, it's been long, all one length, and I would eventually put it up in a ponytail almost every day, because I couldn't stand having it in my face. It drove me crazy, but I didn't know what to do with it, and at the same time, I liked that I could basically get up and go every day without a lot of effort. For the past several months now, I've been threatening to do something different and drastic, and finally, yesterday, I did. At the recommendation of Angel, I made an appointment with her stylist. It took several weeks to get in, but finally, the day arrived. Angel went with me, for moral support, and to be the photographer. I went in with some basic ideas, but after some consultation and looking at photos with Francine, this is what I ended up with. First, the "before" shot: In process: And finally, the finished product: I can't remember the last time...

Hi, my name's Tracie and I'm a Mormon. That being said, I've provided enough context for the conversation I had with the receptionist at work today: Christy: (Showing me a photo) What picture is this movie from? Me: Mmmm, Serendipity maybe? Christy: No...you should know this. Me: I should? Christy: (Finally) It's from the movie "Charlie"! Me: How would I know that? I don't watch Mormon movies. They're dumb. Now that I've let the cat out of the bag, I guess I should also confess that I also don't listen to Mormon pop music (other than the original recording of The Forgotten Carols), or read Mormon fiction. So sue me. Let's face it, it's not like most of them are of real quality anyway. When it comes to Mormon music, I'll stick with my MoTab and the hymns of Zion.
