I'm heading home this year to celebrate one of the biggest street parades and what we call "The Greatest Show on Earth" - Trinidad Carnival!
Carnival takes place in February every year and people dress up in fancy costumes and party on the streets for 2 days dancing to local music. You can read more here.
Tomorrow will be exactly 1 month til I fly home to see my friends & family so the excitement has kicked in!! The costume that I'm signed up with is called Diable Melasse.
As you can see the costumes are very skimpy so I've been trying to get my fitness on and eat healthy so I can not only feel good in the costume but also SURVIVE 2 days of partying in Trinidad's blazing hot sun.
My workout program has been Zumba, Yoga, Body Works & Abs classes in an attempt to achieve my "costume bod" ;-)
I've been also seeking out some healthy recipes to experiment with. I tried Helen's Winter Vegetable Soup recipe this past weekend because it looked yummy. She posted the recipe on her blog last week and it was delicious and filling.
What 2013 adventures are you counting down to?
