Round and Round....

You can pretty much kick my ass next time you see me for milking this outfit for more than one post. What can I tell you? I've been out surveying train stations (because I'm an architect damn it :)) and the chances of posting something halfway interesting are very slim when you have to travel to Middleofnowhere, IL. But with free time and with no better half to snug, hug under the blankets, and argue about stupid things I'm pretty much left with no other choice than to start exploring the wonderful world of animated images. Are you dizzy yet? I am.

Crossfit on Steroids

I've always love to exercise. I remember spending my childhood days taking karate, hockey, swimming, gymnastics, and soccer lessons. I never performed great at any of these sports, and I'm pretty sure I was the kid that no one wanted in their team, but this never stopped me from having a great time and participating.

Now that I'm kinda of a grown up, I've opted for less intense activities like yoga and Pilates. Relaxing? yes, good for your body and soul? sure, exciting? not so much. I was in desperate need of a slightly more intense activity. My search was over when I discovered Crossfit, an strength and conditioning program that is as intense as you can imagine. I'm loving it, I'm so glad it came into my life, and I hope to keep practicing it for many more years. So in honor to my new crazyness, I give you Crossfit on steroids.

Special thanks to my coaches for yelling at me so many times "Gloriaaaaaaa get violent and aggressive!", as you can see, you've turned me into a bad-ass ninja.

Lettuce...lechuga en Español

Hello my darlings,

My muscles hurt today, yes, the same muscles that have been holding me for the past 31, 33, 35 30 years are aching like crazy. I've been doing cross-fit 3-5 times a week and I'm so sore....I can feel pain traveling from my toes (I hurt my big right toe 9 years ago playing soccer and I still can feel the pain) all the way up to my upper back. I'm enjoying it though, badly.....

Anyway, Alcibiades (my personal photographer) is always willing to put up with my madness and despite my soreness and me not wanting to move a muscle, he/ she inspires me to always smile and dress like I'm going out, even if I only need to go  to the supermarket. I'm one of those girls that dresses up to get milk and eggs, otherwise, when do I get to wear my clothes?

So with soreness I leave you with lettuce...lechuga en español,

mmmm, the sweet scent of my arm pits :)

ZARA dress, American Apparel shirt and leggings, Miu Miu shoes.
