I started a dance camp on Monday (yesterday) and it has been challenging me to the umph degree. Its 3 hrs Mon-Fri... and it is serious work!
That mirror wall does not lie. I don't know how I got this badly out of shape, but I certainly don't like it. I am trying really hard not to be too tough on myself. As much as I have lost all of 8lbs in my first two weeks home, and look to lose another 17, I know it is hard work. It's just that when reality kicks in, it kicks in, and I just want to get my old body back. But, having said that, I am giving myself permission to enjoy dance class and to go through all the headwork it takes to grapple with the state I have found myself in.
Easy Skanking Chef is proud that I am dancing again... and is encouraging me to find a dance class in Dubai so that I can continue.
I wish I could write more, because I certainly could use the creative release, but I just cannot seem to be able to.
The grass is not always greener on the other side of the lake.

All into context
I am returning to work today after my two day sanity break. I called in to my assistant and got upset just discussing the inefficiencies on the job.
I am smoking a cigarette and i have to admit that it just tastes nasty. I guess its high time I quit - for good.
My plumbing is out because the dudes who were putting in new kitchen cabinetry broke a pipe. Have left countless messages for my landlord. I have no water. Was actually contemplating going to work without a wash but maybe that's not such a great way to start my day.
So I have to relax and remember to BREATHE. I should have spent 5 mins doing sun salutations instead of smoking that damn cigarette. Tired of smelling and feeling like an ashtray. Have to learn to handle stress better than to resort to cancer sticks. Plus I realise that there is a direct correlation with smoking and gaining weight... I must be the only person who this happens to.
I am looking at starting a new excercise routine in March. I think I will resume dance classes sometime in Feb.
Inspite of all that comes my way today, I will try to stay floating on my back, so that even if I get thrown into the deep ocean, I can still keep my head above water. No sense in tiring myself trying to swim 5000 miles to shore. Help must and will come.
All things work together for good.
