The cruise director, Candi Finkelstein, is a fantastic woman from Johannesburg, South Africa. When not on a ship, she makes her home in Hollywood, Florida, and we actually frequent several of the same food & beverages establishments in the greater Fort Lauderdale area. She is great fun, and has been so kind to me ever since I returned to the Dawn . . . actually, she was lovely when I was here as an independent contractor too. She LOVES her shoes and has quite the collection . . . Carrie Bradshaw would be proud!
When in college at Fredonia, there was a song called "Pata Pata," by a South African artist and for the first several days, I kept hearing a line play over and over in my head. Well, I found it on itunes and downloaded it . . . www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCc61z9IFu4
With that said, as of today, I USED to like Candi. Today, she had me start the insanity
workout program – it is so aptly named!
I can feel the burn and am NOT excited about waking up tomorrow morning. I may need a bevy of sailors to lift me
out of bed. OK, in all reality, I
did modify it at times, but I made it through the whole thing . . . my goal is
to drop all of the weight I’ve gained over the past several years, and then
some, while toning & defining my muscles. By the time I finish this contract on May 3, I’d like to be
able to throw away the fat clothes I have with me, and fit into my fun, thin
clothes that are in the back of my closet at home. Time will tell . . .
