Back to the Fit

I am sure most people, if not everyone, has heard about crossfit. About six years ago my friend Russell introduced me to this new workout that involved high intensity circuit training in a short period of time. At first I was a little skeptical until after my first workout with "Cindy" I spent the night in the bathtub at my boyfriends parents house because I couldn't move. From that point on I referred to "Cindy" as the bitch!!!

Although it took about a week for my body to recover I was HOOKED and continued this torture on my body for the next 6 years on and off.

When I took off to Australia my crossfit days became minimal and coming home I was excited to join the new
Crossfit gym. However, since Oz decided to eat all my money and put me into debt I had to sacrifice the crossfit gym and try hard to do it on my own.

For the past year that I have been home I have done spin, yoga, bootcamps, and insanity (insanity I LOVED). However, nothing compared. So... Today... Finally... I am checking out the crossfit gym and getting back into it!!! I can not wait!!!! Bring on the torture, the baths and the bitches!!!! :)

Ideas...

somehow i lost touch with the blogger world and ended up getting caught up in real life.  this was suppose to be a place that could help unlock my creative side but instead i got caught up on facebook and internet shopping.  do not get me wrong, both i like very much, however, with a lack of money and only so much going on in the facebook world, this time is not well spent. 

so i am back and today i want to blog about the one and only Facebook. 

now i know there are still many people out there who are anti-facebook and i respect your decision.  however, the story of facebook and how it was created is something of much interest to me and i beleive that people, whether they like or dislike facebook, should at least respect what facebook is and how two people came to bring this social network into the homes of everyone around the world and changed the way we interact with people as well as in a short time made them incredibly rich.

the social network might be one of my favourite movies.  i find it fascinating to see how one little idea is now a part of everyones daily routines.  it keeps you connected with friends, lets you share photos from the night before, and now as we have children and they grow they will be able to go back and see there lives as their parents have posted on facebook.  from pregnancy pictures, to newborns, first birthday parties, first day of school, graduation, etc, our lives are now a part of the cyber world where we can now go through a "timeline" to see what happened at any given time of our lives.  this is CRAZY!!!

to think there was a time when we barely used the internet and now our world revolves around it.  the future is unknown but for the select few people who are smart enough to come up with an idea that will bring us into the future and change our lives forever, i applaud you. and i hope that maybe one day, one of those little ideas, little ideas that become world changing can come from my little head.  until that day comes i can only dream of what it might be like to change the world.
until next time,
