    i have lost alot of weight ( had a pretty nice body at 1 point got into an unhealthy/abusive relationship and at the end of it I didnt recognize myself in more ways than 1 ) I am stuggling to lose last 10lbs i have lots of advice in this subject ( no counting cals/ eating special foods/ and def no starving ) if you would like to be kind of like "weight loss buddies through emails I would love to do this w soeone esle to give support/encoragment and tips i will say a couple real quick things simple carbs ( white bread/rice/pasta ect ) will leave you tired in the long run and wont keep you full long as simple carbs break down into sugar very quickly whole wheat is much better nutrition wise as well as keeping you full longer fiber and protein are key to staying full on less food fiber is very filling and protein takes awhile to break down ( this is true for fat as well there are good fats peanut butter/nuts/ if its mono or poly fat its good saturated/trans very bad) but good or bad fat is high in cals so be aware of how much consuming ) salads can be great unless you load it up w dressing ( dont use non fat dressing as alot of the nutrients you get from veggies require some fat to help body absorb) stay hydrated!!! you wouldnt believe how many time i thought i was craving sugar when a cold glass of water is what i really needed ( its very refreshing helps perk you up wo the sugar crash later) dont eat out of boredom/emotion ( my big downfall) if your bored /upset go for a walk write in a journal, dance, email me lol i could write on this subject for days ( i am a bit of a geek when comes to health magazines have been reading 2 or 3 a month for years) ok well email me if intested and good luck!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

    i think its 2009 and a woman can earn $$ any way she pleases I just feel in my opinion that if i am going to pay hard earned $$ to see a lady perform thats what I expect a perfomance I am not saying floorwork is not a performance when its actually a performance booty poppin/shakin ect thats all great and I know its not as easy as it looks but when a girls is getting paid to dance I’d like to see that she made some effort to entertain and not just show up looking bored and aggravated https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_evil.gif I have been to clubs and been pretty disapponted by what i have seen https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif (again these are local clubs in my area and I have obviously only seen a small part of what goes on various nights) i have also seen totally awe inspiring performaces by ladies in clubs on the net just so talented even when a lady is using pretty basic moves but you can tell their into it ( or atleast do a good job pretending if their not) and they seem to enjoy the attention of the audience thats easy to get into and enjoy i think strippers/exotic dancers are great and can be fun to watch i just dont think you should be on stage if all your going to do is lay on the floor barely moving except to open legs or walk around giving dirty looks ( esp to the females in the club) https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_ncool.gif as i said these are all MY opinions we are all entitled to are own thoughts on things and i believe we are all mature enough to discuss are various opinions I dont believe my opionions degrade anyone its like me being a performer and getting on stage barely bothering to do anything, giving dirty looks/looking completely bored/aggravated and than me expecting you to not only be cool with spending $$ at the door to get in , but than also wanting you to hand over more of your $$ i mean if your not happy w your job work somehwere else or atleast learn to fake it thats how i feel as said am dying to check out a nice club to watch ladies perform https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif am more intrested in pole tricks but would be happy to just get some inspiration in general https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif ( just cant get inspired by women w no feeling for what they do wether singing dancing ect) so thats where I stand https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_salut.gif hope no one takes offense although cant see why anyone would i’m not saying if you cant do tricks you shouldnt be on stage im saying if your not going to make it enjoyable for the people who are paying to see you, than no in my opinion you should find other work
    ( i realize for some people the whole idea is to just see naked/semi naked women, but i have alot more respect for dancers than that i want them to do well i want to see they enjoy their craft ) if you read my post through (and the tons of previous posts) you will see I am very supportive of everyone and there desicions I just dont like being mislead into believing I am paying for 1 thing and getting something very diffrent than what was advertised hope everyones doing well https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif

    yes it does cause some bumps and bruises along the way but it literally toughens you up https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cool.gif not only are my muscles/confidence stronger so is my skin!! used to get bad pole burn/blisters that would eventually start bleeding on my palms ect now I consider myself a pretty tough cookie https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_viking.gif it gets easier as you get a better feel for the pole and how to handle yourself properly https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_queen.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_king.gif

    as far as dancers i think alot of it is the club the strippers i have known personally have not been able to more than the very basic spins (no inverts) if that, and have seen some trashy looking girls at this certain club in the area that is known for run-down looking women w not much in the way of dance/pole skills there is a nickname for this club that i wont post here its just really a bad atmosphere alot of known drug dealers are in and out ect just not a good look https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_puke_l.gif i would LOVE to visit a classy exotic dance club where the dancers are entertainers not just crawling all over the floor i am pretty sure there is 1 in area ( closer than 1 just mentioned) that is suppouse to be a little more upscale and women friendly in my personal opinion[/i there is a big diffrence between an exotic dancer and a girl who just gets on stage and crawls around with her a$$ in the air https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cool.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_ncool.gif dancing and esp pole dancing are to me beautiful ways to express yourself, explore your sexualitly, and yes entice people but theres no talent (in my opinion) in just looking as skany as possible and crawling around and spreading your legs https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumbdown.gif to me if your going to make a living off dancing on stage w a pole you should atleast put in a little effort to learn a few basic moves or atleast learn some sensual ways of moving on stage again i have been to see ladies"dance" several times in my life and havent been impressed as i said i know there are clubs (esp in RI and Boston) w lovely ladies of all shapes sizes who are amazing & talented who i wouldnt mind spending money to see perform bc thats what you get a performance https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_batman.gif not just a mostly naked girl looking bored or strung out ( i rememeber 1 girl looked soooo aggravated being on stage and when my girl friend went to hand her money she actually gave her a real dirty look and turned her back just walked away like a big F u) I have actually been asking around for some time to get some people together to go to 1 of the nicer clubs but alot of females dont think they would enjoy watching another female dance( prob bc havent even tried or bc have had bad experiences like me ) and the guys seem to be willing to just see T&A and not care about how the lady performs as long as she looks good https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif hopefully will get up there soon really am hoping to do an ameuter night over the spring/sumer and would like to check out the clubs/atmospheres https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif sorry for such a long post just got in and am so over-tired but cant sleep https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif

    well got really lazy the last part of last week and weekend eating alot of fats food/night out drinking/chips ect and no exersise (basically) https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif but did turn lemons into lemonade last night went to finally get a strong practice in but pole was just too slippery for even basic things so instead of fighting it or getting frustrated i spent alot of time working on floor moves/exersices, basic spins, ect and had 1 of the best exersise sessions in awhile https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif just really relaxed no camera rolling, no pressure to try to learn any new moves or struggle with difficult ones i just really had fun spent time trying out some of veenas booty moves https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cat.gif am hoping to get a good inverted moves sessions soon https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_batman.gif also did 1 of my harder workout dvds this am after work (and got in a good strectch session!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif ) bought a new mp3 player today so can start dancing to what i want rather than being stuck w whatevers on (you’ll notice in my buutons video i am so over the song 3/4 way in https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif lol) ok so hows everyone else doing https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_question.gif
