Day 2 of The Great 40 Day Fast

118lbs. I am down a pound!! Be good to Ana and she will reward you.

This morning I did something I haven't done in ages; my ballet stretches. Oh god it felt so good. I've danced classically for 18 years now but since transferring from my lovely Musical Theatre program to sit in a desk all day and get cellulite English I haven't had the time (or money) to take a dance class. I started off at the barre (the railing of my stairs) then repeated everything at centre (my bedroom floor). My thighs are a tad sore and I know they'll be worse tomorrow but it was so, so worth it. I need dance like I need air.

On a more food related note I've stuck to my daylight fast regime quite well. I had a banana, some coleslaw with oil and vinegar, and a few nachos for dinner. Total is still under 500 cals and I know I've burned more today. On top of my ballet workout I went for a run and did a boat load of crunches. I am so determined to lose 9lbs in 38 days!

Oh and @lottie this is an elliptical. :)

Fast well Angels,
Charlie

  1. Glad your day-fast is working for you! You can definitely lose 9 pounds in a month.

    Yay! A fellow dancer!! You've danced for 18 years? My goodness that's a long time- I bet you're amazing! I started ballet this semester as an extra college class (once a week for 2 hours) but it's really informal and there's also some jazz thrown in. Once this semester is up I would really love to go to a studio and take classes (providing I have the money of course).

    What sorts of stretches do you do? We don't have a barre so we do everything in the centre, but I have a stair rail I could use! I'm tempted to start teaching myself with YouTube vids but I don't know reliable they are. I've made a pact to start stretching every day so ballet stretches would be awesome to do!

  2. Wow that's amazing, it feels so good to do those exercises from an old sport. I played tennis for 10 years, and whenever I get out and do some drills it feels soo good. sending you skinnies darling!
