Belly Dance To Work Up A Good Sweat

Was starting to feel a little under the weather again when I got home last night, or should I say early this morning.

So after what I hoped to be a refreshing shower, I took some medicine and went to bed.  Can’t believe I slept through church.  The medicine, especially the cough syrup makes me drowsy.

Apparently it hasn’t left my system yet, because I woke up feeling real shitty.  The parents, of course thought I had too much to drink the night before and was badly hungover.

After they left to visit some relatives, I took out my belly dance music and went through some of the old routines I have learned.  If people thought belly dance looks easy, let me tell you this - it’s hard work!

Even the slower numbers we learned during the intermediate classes require lots of internal energy so it’s really good to work up a sweat.  Friends who think I don’t sweat enough have apparently never seen me after 2 hours of belly dancing.  My T-shirt was soaked through!

Well, after all that dancing and a cold shower, I started to feel much more refreshed.  Now, if only this cough will go away….
