KrissiK Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 i did eat a few. They are really really good. What makes them extra good, though, is the sprinkling of turbinado sugar on top. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellie Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 I think every person should have some kind of dance lessons. Or something. I have a new student in my hula class (78yo) who has never done any kind of dance in her life. She does not know how to move her body. She is unaware of what her right hand is doing when she's doing something with her left hand. I've seen this before, too, so she is not unique. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Bean Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 (edited) I did gymnastics as a child. I lasted one day in ballet then the teacher told my mom to enroll me in gymnastics because I had WAAY too much energy for ballet. None of my kids are coordinated. Did shopping and washed my car.

Clarita Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 I did random dance classes as a child like tap, jazz, twirling, tumbling, etc. I did much better in ballet as an adult. I just couldn't "just do this" I liked that ballet told me exactly what to do where to put all my body parts, and which muscles to engage and exactly what each position and movement should feel like. I've also realized I'm less clumsy on the ice than I am on solid ground. Too bad my family didn't have the money to let me do ice skating as a child. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am completely uncoordinated and don't know how to move my body. Painfully awkward are descriptors that come to mind. I like certain types of dance. But even when I do things like Zumba, some moves are still uncomfortable. Painfully awkward is me doing country dance. I purposely do Country Heat (a country dance workout program) just to move me out of my comfort zone. 1 hour ago, Green Bean said: I did gymnastics as a child.

Now it’s blue instead of pollen yellow. Dancer is my dancer (ballet, modern, jazz) and Gymnast is my gymnast. I saw from young ages (3 years) how their body moved and what fit them. I still put Gymnast in creative movement, and later summer dance camps, because dance is good for the body. She was not comfortable doing things like ballet. I put her gymnastics for a while, but it's a million times more expensive than dance (sliding scale at our studio) so couldn't keep it up. Now she dances, but it's more...like, Broadway style, I think. I always wanted to do dance when I was young, but never did. 25 minutes ago, Junie said: Does Tai Chi count as dance? That's the closest I've come. I never thought I'd like Tai Chi until I started to do it. I really enjoy it. It probably doesn't count as dance, but it does take coordination. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 I got 3 or 4 more birds in my Life List. We went to the gulf side beach and splashed about in the waves and flew a kite and made sand fortresses and bridges and moats, etc. Once again, despite their recent declaration of being now open 7 days a week, Pirate's Pizza and Wings was closed. So we went next door and had burgers and bbq and fried shrimp, etc. I had a fried fish po boy that was so huge I had to cut the fish in half just to get it into the sandwich. It was very tasty. Now it's time for The Last Crusade. We had planned to watch it last night but got caught up playing Scum. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 I'd like to try Tai Chi. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 I like Tai Chi. I usually do some before doing my yoga because it feels similar to me. There are lots of videos of Tai Chi and Qigong on youtube. I think it's good for coordination because a lot of the moves cross the midline, plus they are slow and controlled and flowy. I know it's supposed to be really good for balance. Oldest dd did dance starting when she was 2 1/2, competed from 4 years old until she graduated high school, then was on her college dance team for 4 years. So yeah, she's a dancer. Younger dd does tai kwon do and has a similar awareness of what her body is doing but not with the grace and poise that older dd does from dance. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dianthus Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 I wish I would have kept dd in ballet. Covid combined with dislike of the boredom (which I shared from my childhood) phased her out of dance. My U/S scan was ok, but I asked to watch from the monitor and I suspect there's something in the uterus. Looked like something to me and they were snapping 3D pics from it. Maybe it's just a fibroid. I was pretty weirded out when the senior tech left the room and put her hand on my shoulder and said "best of luck." What in the world? I finally asked the 2nd tech if she said that to everyone and was told that she did. But still, I wonder. 3 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dianthus Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 I did 22 min on the treadmill tonight. First time I've used it in a very long time. 1.25 mi in 22 min. I actually hit 1 mi at 17 min. A 17 minute mile. Sigh. I probably could've gone a bit faster but didn't want to lose my supper either. At least I had 2nd workout today. I think need to do 2 workouts and eat more instead of 1 workout and eating less. I got my thyroid test results and it is normal. I'm 10 lbs over my pre pregnancy weight. We had a costco chicken Thanksgiving style tonight. I forgot to tell about dd. Last night, dh took ds to scouts and I took baby dd and other ds to his last game (yay!). While we were gone (but my mom was there), dd folded my basket of towels, vacuumed, washed the dishes and completely cleaned the kitchen. Nothing on the counters when I got home. Was such a nice surprise! 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some gets swallowed up a little, but most stays on top and gives it a little golden crunchy topping. It's a game changer. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
