That thing called life tends to get in the way of personal interests, and indulgences such as this. I've been busy. Okay, busy is an understatement to which school and dance have been demanding my full attention. It's mid-term season, and the last week before my dance recital. Surprisingly though I have been able to keep intact a shred of social life. Between Discovery Coffee stats study sessions, company dance rehearsals, and constant weather analysis, I have managed to fit in Quiz Night, a movie, la petite mort incroyable, and visits with Aleesha. I also somehow managed to have a five hour nap this afternoon. Oops. This weekend has been much appreciated, and enjoyed.
I started dancing in the Victoria Dance Theatre Company a little while ago now, and as mentioned I have my first dance recital on Friday, that I am very excited for! I'm dancing in four pieces! At our last rehearsal we discussed costumes, and went through the show, and I think it is going to be brilliant! I dance with such great girls, I have been learning so much from them, everyone is so talented! My parents and friends have said they are coming, which makes me nervous, and even more excited at the same time. This is the poster for the show:
I am also on day 6 of the Wild Rose Cleanse. It's been going really well, it is my first cleanse so I wasn't to sure what to expect but it's been really easy so far. The diet is basically everything I already eat so that hasn't been too hard, expect i miss dairy and of course sugar. The herbal supplements that I take every morning and evening aren't so bad either.
It's really great for me not only in cleansing my body, but for cooking habits. Through this cleanse I have had to prepare and cook every one of my meals, and they need to be full meals, which is something I have NEVER done. I have been spending lots of time in the kitchen, and I've really been enjoying it (surprisingly). It's been difficult in that I can't really eat anything from the school cafeteria, so I pack a lunch everyday, so I have to plan ahead and make sure i have enough food for the day, and it's saving me SO much money not buying lunch in the cafeteria everyday.
Also I've noticed that everything I have put into my body in the last 6 days has been real food. Nothing processed, or really packaged. It's mostly, if not all fresh, and I feel AMAZING! I've also been keeping up on my gym workouts, and even have a new regime that's a bit harder then the last. So that feels pretty great too. My goal is to be able do at least one pull-up! Yay for increasing upper body strength!
