très jazz

On July 10th I flew down to New Orleans with a couple of friends and went to the Tres Jazz Jazzercise convention. I have to say I had a blast. First, the excitement and energy that went into the convention made worth the trip of going down there in the first place. It was my first time attending a Jazzercise convention and I think I'm hooked. It was a little pricey but well worth it. They have one every five years so I have sometime to save up for the next one. Of course while we were in New Orleans we had to do some sight seeing and walk down Bourbon St. My friends and I walked down Bourbon St. that Saturday and it was quite the partying place. We all had to try one of their Hand Gernade drinks which is known as "New Orleans Most Powerful Drink." We also had a Hurricane at Pat O's. After experiencing Bourbon St. we pretty much stumbled back to the Hotel room. The next morning was the last Jazzercise class. It was a little hard to move at first but quickly got the hang of it.

We decided to stay an extra day so we could do more sight seeing. We walked around the French Quarter and Market. Took a horse and buggy tour around downtown and got to see Jackson Square. The weather was scorching hot so we stop every now and then and had ourselves a cold drink. Our last night there we went out to dinner and had a seafood bucket at The Crazy Lobster which is very delicious and is one of my recommendations if you go to New Orleans. Then we went to bed. I will have some pictures posted soon.

So when I returned home from all of this I was eager to weigh myself to see how much I really lost. I mean with all of this exercise and it was hard core exercise, not the light stuff. I thought to myself I probably lost a ton of weight. Well I got on the scale and lost about two pounds. So I guess no matter how much you exercise I did that day, drinking and eating afterwards pretty much even things out. I was happy to lose the two pounds though but in the end I enjoyed myself and that is all that matters.
