I Danced Today!

Hi Friends,

I was finally able to dance today. Part of taking care of myself in 2010 was to go back to 100% raw and exercise more. I have been 100% raw with mostly no sweets. The two times I made the intention to dance in my living room I injured myself. I'm thinking, what's that all about? The first time I was dancing I tweaked my neck a little and it hurt for about 5 days. Then when I was contemplating a regular dance regime the muscles between my right scapula and spine seized up. That is why I have not blogged for a while. It hurt to type and use the mouse.

That was 2 weeks ago and I'm just feeling enough relief to move again.

So.............today I put on Michael Jackson! My old time favorite and danced for an hour. I moved slowly and carefully at first, stretching and warming up my body. Then I just went for it, still being careful not to over do it. I felt so good afterwards that I'm planning on dancing again tomorrow.

After a few weeks of this and I will be ready to enroll in a class somewhere. I want to do Hip Hop!

All the neck and back pains are a reminder that I need to keep up the exercise! I know this will help prevent more pain in the future.

I'm feeling excited to commit to dance and the next step is getting on my bike!

Love,

Shanti
