You Gotta Work!




I tried Videosync today. It's a fitness class that incorporates pop music and hip hop moves into one streaming and supposed to be seamless ( I took some prolonged water breaks) hour of heart pumping, booty bouncing exercise. It was a lot of fun and really tiring, and I'll admit I've been practicing at home a little so that next week when I go I won't look like such a beginner. I channeled my best inner hip hop hottie and busted a move alongside 40 or so other women and one man and had a blast of a workout.

I like when I find something fun and fulfilling when it comes to exercise because I tend avoid the treadmill and stairclimber (since they are evil) and prefer working out when it doesn't really feel like I am. If anyone is in the Miami area, I highly recommend it!




* As a side note- I named this blog carte blanche ( which can mean a few things: a) having unrestricted power to act at one's own discretion; unconditional authority. or b) a blank check; a check that has no numerical value but is already signed) as an homage to my mother. Once when I was younger, late teens I think, we were shopping and I was going wild with my purchases as every girl does and she looked at me and said "What do you think you have, carte blanche"?! It's been a running joke ever since. Maybe you had to be there and/or know my mom. Also, in reference to the first definition, I do have carte blanche with my life - and I like it. Call it selfish maybe, but if you're not going to define your life, someone else will.
