Hey sexy ladyyyyyyyyyyyyy

I am trying desperately to get motivated so I can exercise and get fit and bikini ready for my trip to Costa Rica. From the day I booked the trip I have said, exercise starts tomorrow! Yet nearly 4 months on I have yet to really attempt anything other than some squats and sit ups. Don't get me wrong I spend at least an hour a day thinking about all the exercise I should be doing. If only that burt calories.

Yesterdays bright idea was to spend my days off walking about 5km or so around the area. I was excited about this, had my ipod charged and my shoes out.  However today the weather has been beautiful one minute and horrid the next. So that has been the perfect excuse to postpone my walking debut until tomorrow.

Having a little bit of motivation in me however I thought I'd do some dancing. I love the Otis Redding song 'Love Man' and it is on my shower playlist, so I was very excited to find a dance routine tutorial on youtube to this song.

It is such a cute little routine, shame I am so uncoordinated! I'm so lucky I finished university as if I had to resort to being a stripper, there would be no way I'd get any tips with my wobbly awkward moves. I think I dance pretty good after a few drinks, this makes me wonder if this is actually so.

So after doing this routine. which I hope I will improve at through practice I chucked on another video to dance to which I was actually capable.

I think Gangnam style may be the only dance other than the Macarena that I can actually do without looking like a fool.

Magic

Today I woke up very uninspired.

Just before I went to bed last night, I learnt that there had been a large 7.6 earthquake off the coast of Costa Rica and they were issuing tsunami warnings to the surrounding islands. Tsunamis are probably my greatest fear in life. So hearing that one might hit the island to which I am disappearing to next month, both terrified and shocked me. Needless to say I had a tsunami nightmare that night, something I used to have quite often.

So I woke up stressed that my trip would be cancelled and I would lose all the money I had paid thus far due to my lack of travel insurance, so after waking in a panic at 6am, purchasing travel insurance and slightly calming I had a nap. After this nap I woke all dazed and cranky and drained. I think it is a combination of being incredibly low in iron and having severe caffeinated energy drink withdrawals, I was in a right state.

After posting a inspiration needed plea on Facebook, I decided to hit YouTube to find some spark on a day like today. After watching a video on Woodstock, I thought I'd search for a video on Peats Ridge festy, the closest thing to Woodstock I've been to. I watched a retrospective video of the year I attended, and was surprised to see that some friends and I made it into the footage. After that I was completely won over and immersed in the music of Jinja Safari and my day has since been promising.
It is funny how some music can change your mood in a matter of minutes.
