Indogo — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 09:45:11 GMT

well for the last 2 days I have done so much dancing and 2 hours of callanetics,to avoid a burnout,today I will do smaller amount of callanetics,callan suggests 2 hours a week,and 15 minutes on days in between,I am following that. I have covered lots of drills,asharah's dvd is giving me what I need at the moment.I am ready to take my dance to the next level.I wanna be free to dance in my physical body,the way I dance in my mind. I catch myself every now and then feeling frustrated towards my body because it doesnt look and move the way it does in my mind,then I take a breath and think about how grateful I am to have this chance to dance,to have health,I believe health is wealth you see. I will g0 over some robotic drills today,looking forwrad to that.I love drilling. The truest expression of a people is in its dance and in its music. Bodies never lie. ~Agnes de Mille isnt this so very true.

dance while you can

Indogo — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 08:39:19 GMT

I am coming to the realisation that I need to be more commited and work much harder. and this has to start today,right here,right now. I know what works,I know what I need to do,and so far ,I have found excuses,well,no more excuses,its time to walk the walk. so today I will make up my plan,part of that plan is staying with my food combining meal plans.the words I write here are the words that are forming my life,as everything I write is to be taken into action. so today my aim is to food combine,and relax,it has been such a busy week of teaching and dancing. it was my last session at the school,I realy enjoyed teaching there.I am so grateful of that experiance. I have my psychology of dance book on the ready-back shortly :) ok,so yes I have myself a programme sorted,starting at 6am tomorrow,realy looking forward to it. http://indogo.org/music/page.php?24 I have started putting my dance page together. my main focus this week : * food combine..this is great I have a book by harvey diamond with a 40 day plan at the back,so I will be following this for the next ,well as part of every day life realy. * stay with dance plan...no matter what!I was happy with yesterdays performance,ethough I know I can do so much better... Dancing faces you towards Heaven, whichever direction you turn. ~Sweetpea Tyler

day 3

Indogo — Tue, 22 May 2007 16:49:45 GMT

all is going great.only mistake was at my mums house,I was there longer than I expected to be,so I had white bread with margarine,wow I realy felt so sick and have gotten a little asthmatic,thats why I have taken dairy outta my diet,it does me no good at all. so today I am vegan,no dairy in my system at all.' otherwise I have eaten well,my mood has been much brighter.Mike came back from shops with biscuits,wine and chocolate...the ultimate test eh!!hahaa...but I just envision the fat...ughy!!!!!!yughy!!!! I enjoy eating healthy so much,making different kinds of salads and such.yummy! today so far: * 30 minutes - RBEE * supercallanetics * tribal combo's

no comprimises

Indogo — Sun, 20 May 2007 09:32:50 GMT

well last 2 days I have been on an emotional rollercoater. meeting up with my mum after so long is one thing,her being a heavy alcoholic puts alott of strain on the relationship. I love her so much,its so hard seeing her on the drink. I love her very much and have prayed to God in desperation for guidance,to know what to do for right. I read some oe of susans book this morning,she talks about saying YES!!to life and using whatever happens. so with alott of thinking I have made decisions : * go back to food combining- with no comprimises,none at all,me and my sister spoke last night as we are both on the same journey.we both noticed we went wrong when we start having the odd cookie...once we let one bad food in,thats it it all goes wrong. so we made empowering decisions. to do this: * be more spiritual,accept strong guidance from God. dance helps me so much wiith any negative emotions,I also will start to meditate too from today. I will: * take a bath - the place I feel the most peace is in the bath.So I will lay there and meditate,I will give thankx and look into the visions of my mind.I will trust that. All is coming together perfectly. I have a dream to put on a huge show of my music and bellydance,I am taking daily steps to make this come true. All is coming together perfectly.

day one

Indogo — Wed, 25 Apr 2007 15:31:59 GMT

well my sister and me had a great chat last night,we both made a very powerful decision,to start fit for life 40 day eating plan,here we are at day one. I have completed 4 days before,so i have had a sample,even in that four days,i felt and looked amazing. today I did my dance drills and i did 20 minutes of supercallanetics this morning,just doing 20 minutes of supercallanetics every morning as i cant always fit a long session in,and she states in her book that with supercallanetics,you only need one session a week ,so i am breaking it down to bite size chunks over a week,that way also i can concentrate on certain areas. my drills are coming along realy nicely,I am sure the weight loss will give my muscles much more definition,its realy wierd like my body weight doesnt match my dancing,i dance realy graceful with great percision,yet i have weight...cannot weight to see it gone..he he he. i know its alott doing drills every day,but it has to become a new habit,thats the habit i am making,whatever else i do great,but my habit is this: 1st - callanetics 2nd - dance drills 3rd - tribal fusion thats every day,yes i know its alott but its less than i was doing before,its in smaller pieces too!

in focus

Indogo — Fri, 20 Apr 2007 19:50:40 GMT

ok so seeing as though i am so happy with darshan's tribal fusion,i figure thats what i will stay with and focus on.only when i have this to a point where i dont have to think about what i am doing,to a point where i am graceful,articulate...then i will move on..and add another style repetition is the mother nature of skill i will keep repeating the combos until they are memorized.i am so grateful to finally find a dvd i am completely at one with actually. so todays eating goals have been reached.even when there was chocolate biscuits..i envisioned them as cigarettes..ughy!!!

todays doings!!

Indogo — Fri, 20 Apr 2007 09:19:18 GMT

well yesterday was a full day off,so I am back on track today. * morning - 20 minutes yoga * afternoon - dance drills and combo * evening - callanetics-1 hour I am also back on track wioth my eating,back with ''fit for life''.part of my goal is to be a good exsample,and inspire people,that includes with my way of eating too! so : * morning - fruit * afternoon - fruit raw veggies and nut butter dip * evening - sweetcorn soup properly combined sandwich spinach salad

so far so great

Indogo — Thu, 19 Apr 2007 08:26:44 GMT

well last night before i went to bed,i did 15 minutes of callanetics then practised some tribal combo's,see i cannot go a day without any dance at all as i have to get these isolations to progress into undulations that come natural,smooth,powerful and elegant! my muscles,obliques mainly and the muscles low down in my belly are feeling very strong,amazing,I am so pleased with my progress so far. I am grateful to God for he gives me the strength I need to make this performing,dancing dream come true. my sister has treated me to cardio tribal dvd..I am so exited!!how very sweet of her to do that! I realy enjoy doing the tribal combos i did with darshan last night,when they got fast i couldnt quite keep up,but i know in time i will...practise making perfect!!. tonight is simulaR,15 mins of callan followed by some tribal combos. different combos though,its good to surprisethe body with new ways i think!

rest day

Indogo — Wed, 18 Apr 2007 20:32:39 GMT

you know on my london journey i took with me my dance book. it talked about slumps and how to avoid them,it spoke about how important days off are.so today I had a day off as my late nights caught up with me...oops!!!lol I spoke with my sister alott last night,we are so enjoying this journey together and although she is in usa and i am here in uk,dance makes us feel so very spiritually close..yey!!!!! so todays goal is to keep my vision in mind,to do : * 15 minutes callan before bed. I must admit my arm movements come in waves throughout the day,and today my fingers have joined in and got much more expressive.which is awesome,i am going with that! and my belly occasionally undulates without me realy thinking about it...how kool is that!!!!
