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 ...

Weird Al and Iowa

So a couple of weeks ago while watching TV, I happened to click on an A&E Biography of "Weird Al" Yankovic. Boy - did that bring back some fun High School memories. There were interviews with Dr. Demento (Weird Al started out on his radio show"), and snippets from some true comedy classics - for instance "Eat It", "Like a Surgeon", and others. I remember my best friend Jill really being into his "Polkas on '45" album. I went to High School in Iowa (Go Hawks!), and one thing about the midwest is that someone like "Weird Al" really fits in there. It's the land of brats and beer, and polka (I mean, the Iowa marching band's favorite song is the polka classic "In Heaven There Ain't No Beer"), and people there have a sense of humor - they don't take themselves too seriously. They work hard, have a good time, and are all about community. They take care of each other. When I get to heaven, there...

Company 5K

Friday evening was the company 5K, and most of my team and their families made the effort to participate. The weather was perfect, and the route took us through the neighborhoods around the main building. We ended up finishing in about 45 minutes. Here we all are at the Finish line (l to r: Dave, his daughter and son, Robin, me, Tiffany, her boyfriend Scott, Sudhir, Bindu, and their daughter Naomi) After the 5K, I decided I needed a post-race recovery meal, and got myself down to the local DQ for a pumpkin pie blizzard.
