You Should Be Dancing, Yeah!
"Whether you’re a brother or whether you’re a mother,
You’re stayin alive, stayin’ alive.
Feel the city breakin’ and ev’rybody shakin’
and we’re stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, Stayin’ Alive, Staying Alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha Stayin’Aliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiive……….

Don’t tell me I don’t make sacrifices.
I have a girlfriend that wanted to go dancing tonight. I told her, "no".
Now this goes against my very dance shoe nature.
I spent far too many years of my life doing NOTHING to squander an opportunity for a little bit a fun.
But I asked myself.
I said, "Maddi?" I said, "What?"
I said, "Maddi?" I said, "Tell me whatchyou want!"
I said,
"WILL GOING DANCING TONIGHT TAKE YOU IN THE DIRECTION OF YOUR GOALS OR WILL IT TAKE YOU AWAY FROM THEM?"
I said, "AWAY".
And so I cancelled my plans.
Why would dancing take me away from my goals? Well certainly it would not have been the 6-7 shots of tequila I intended to imbibe upon.
The mathematics being that one shot every three songs=calories which are danced off shot by shot.
No,…the reason it would have taken me away from my goals is this.
I WOULD HAVE BEEN HUNG OVER TOMORROW.
My body would be in recovery. My eating would have been off. My body wasting precious energy seeking homeostasis rather than muscleo-stasis.
Besides….
It’s too soon!
I like to give the boys 3-4 months to forget about me before I go back again. 
SO instead, I sit at home on a Saturday night….boiling chicken…eating salsa.
But my body will definitely THANK ME…in the morning!

You know what dancing is though. Awesome cardio! I dance for 4 hours when I go out with the girls. I don’t drink alcohol so it doesn’t affect my gains. Once in a while I will have a little bit of an energy drink so I don’t fall asleep. You may find you can have just as good of a time without the booze.
