Duh, I forgot to post stats as I'd promised earlier:
Age: 31
Height: 5'1"
Weight: 102 lbs. (this goes up to 104 lbs. on the weekends)
Body fat percentage: 21.6% (plugged my measurements into one of those online body fat calculators - don't know if this is over or underestimating it)
Energy levels: All over the place today. I didn't go walking as I thought I would - I flopped on the couch late this afternoon and took a 15-minute nap, then did a few sets of KB swings (one and two-armed variations), some jumping jacks and burpees. I'm quite happy to report I can do 20 consecutive burpees without tossing my cookies. However, I felt completely tired after that and wanted to take another nap. That didn't happen, though.
Bellydance class tonight was a lot better. This time, the instructor didn't go wild with the shimmies and hip circles, and instead focused on grapevines (a traveling step move) and lockdowns (think calf raises). That was great, because it was low-impact and in tune with my (lack of) energy and enthusiasm.
I think I'll be going to bed early tonight. Today was just a "meh" one for me, and I'll be bright-eyed and bushy-tailed tomorrow.
