Fitness motivation

Last night was my time for dancing (I've never loved Sundays as much as I do now), and it being the last Sunday of the month, it was themed night at Move Studios....and also a late night (which means going till 12:30am).

The theme: Winter Wonderland Black-light

I ended up making my skirt with a SCRAP PIECE OF FABRIC!!! :-D Naturally, that wasn't my original intention, but I always make a "test" version of my skirts before I start cutting into my good fabric (I do this when I'm making up the pattern). However, it just so happened that this scrap piece was the same material I was going to use... and then it just so happened to be the perfect size.... and as I started cutting out the strips, it ended up working perfectly, so I just kept it and now have extra *very* nice fabric to make something else with! Because of this wonderful surprise/shortcut, I then had time to make my little accessories: the arm cuffs, necklace, and feather clips.

I called myself a "Messenger of the Gods"...cause that's what it felt like.

I have never in my life received so many complements on an outfit. It turned out exactly how I wanted and was dead sexy for dancing in. And it's the easiest pattern possible. NO SEWING... just cutting.
Needless to say... I'll be making more of these beauties.
(It looks pretty good in the light, but looks incredible in black light)


Okay....I derailed from what the original point of this post was...which is:

I can hardly move this morning (in a good way) from being so sore. That was a solid 4.5 hours of dancing, and I didn't take a break until three hours in! (Which is a record for me). However, Mission Fusion Extravaganza is 4 nights and 3 days of almost perpetual dancing.... and if I want to make it past the first night, I'm going to have to up my exercise game just a bit. I've been going strong, for sure...but I know me, and I know I can do more. :-D Life just keeps on getting better and better.... I continue to grow. To improve. To further myself emotionally, mentally, and physically.

I can't believe it's only February. It feels like 2015 was a LONG time ago.
