Dancing is the BEST exercise!
Yes it is.
I had an awesome time at hubby’s Christmas party Saturday night.
I was all prepared for it - exercised during the day, drank lots of water and ate well, didn’t go to the party starving even though it was a late dinner.
I had lots of vegies on my plate from the amazing dinner buffet, stayed away from the dessert table even though everything I saw being eaten all around me looked soooooooooo good.
I was so proud of myself.
I did have a couple glasses of white wine but drank water in between and much more water than wine.
We danced a ton and it felt terrific. It was so much fun.
We danced and danced and danced.
Then when I got on the scale Sunday morning hoping that the wine and late dinner hadn’t caused me to gain any weight.
Here I was down 2 pounds.
I couldn’t believe it. Actually 2 1/2 pounds. I thought I better wait and see what the scale says Monday maybe I was dreaming or my scale was playing tricks on me or something.
But nope this morning same thing.
I am sooooooooooooooo happy and I say dancing is the BEST exercise there is.
When I told my girlfriend that she laughed and said there is one thing thats a better from of exercise.
I said well maybe except if hubby doesn’t feel like dancing or when he’s done his “dance” I can always find someone else to dance with.
Not the case with the exercise she was talking about. LMAO
So my buddies I hope you are feeling motivated this Monday morning.
I know its difficult with the holidays coming and I know some of us just hope to maintain over the holidays. Sometimes maintaining is a very good thing.
Take Care my buddies
and thanks for all your advice and support
Happy Monday!

Lori, That other kind of exercise, which friends of mine refer to as sexercise (and I’m very curious if the nice people here will allow me to say that word or zap me for it), doesn’t burn nearly the calories one might hope. But dancing… now dancing that’s a fun calorie burn. WTG on the loss - I’m jealous! I’m now undoing my birthday dinner as a goal this week! Keep up the great work. Ellen
LMAO Never heard it called that before but somehow now I don’t think I’ll forget it.
Thanks Ellen
I know thats true what you say about the calories too.
Good luck burning off that birthday dinner. I’ll be in the same boat next week, then Christmas the week after that and New Years the week after that YIKES.
I am so glad you had fun and LOST weight. That is sooo awesome
Lmao! This is awesome! So proud of you! Congrats! Gotta love that dancing!
Way to go Lori! Congrats on the 2 1/2 lbs lost! I LOVE to dance! I get swaety though because I don’t know when to quit! I am normally the first one on the dance floor and the last one to leave it! Good for you!
Good for you Lori. I guess I was a little late commenting on your last post. I guess I thought your party was next weekend. Anyway, I’m glad you had a great time and I’m so happy that you lost two pounds. My husband and I use to go dancing a lot before we moved to Arizona. I’m not sure why we stopped, but I sure do miss it. Mostly country western. I will dance to pretty much anything though. I like the sexercise idea, but I agree…. we wouldn’t burn near enough calories. LOL! Congrats again! Have a great week!
Woo hooo! Victory is yours! You did it! You survived the party and saw a loss! Awesome!
I’m glad you had a great time! Another great form of exercise is wrestling w/ your mate!
Of course for us, it usually leads to that sexercise thing.. Glad you had fun AND lost!!
Good for you, Dancing Queen - keep up the good work, and all the groovy encouragement and positive ions that just flow from your blog. You’re awesome, girl. =)
Congrats on the loss! Dancing is fun exercise!
I’m sooooooooooo jealous Lori!!! LMAO…I’m so uncoordinated!! I’m not a dancer at all. Wish I could. Sounds like you had a riot at the party!! and what an awesome weight loss!!
You GO GIRL!!! Wooo Hooo!!! Glad you had fun…love your happy attitude. I needed some of that today!!
Wow you did so well and you had fun. Way to go Lori. I think on my first day off, I will dance!
Did you lose those 2.5 over the week or over night? Exercise is the best!!! Denying ourselves food over the long run is never the good idea. Movement and fun - brilliant!!!
Have another great day!
Way to go Lori!!!
SO glad you had fun and lost as a result! Dnacing can be a great calorie burner. I do it with my 2 year old all the time! HOpe the holiday finds you happy and full of healthy stuff instead of sweets! 
What a great, upbeat blog Lori. I agree with you, dancing is great! I need to do it more often, that’s a sure thing! Now that I am no longer training for a marathon, I can go out dancing more often–what a great idea!! Thanks & HUGE KUDOS to you for your WL!! 2-1/2 lbs? AWESOME!
Way to go Lori, didn’t even think about burning those calories while dancing, now that’s a great way to exercise…shake your booty and burn those calories baby…keep up the great work and the wonderful outlook my friend, your doing awesome!!!
