Being in “shape”, to me, means having the stamina & endurance to do all the things I want to do. It’s not about a dress size, and it’s definitely not about fitting in to someone else’s idea of shapely.

I love my highly feminine curves, and hope to never lose them.

I would, however, appreciate being physically stronger and to have more stamina.

Belly dancing – which I’ve just begun – should help with this goal; particularly if I practice between classes.
