If you have been following the new show "America Best Dance Crew" then you can't help but be taken by Break Skate, the roller skating dance team. If you were like me and grew up in the 80s you have probably been exposed to roller skating in your life time.
My family members are avid roller skaters. In fact, all the adults go roller skating every Sunday night religiously. I go with my friends, with our leather skates with the wheels matching the shoe strings and the little puff ball on the front... don't hate.
Anyway, then back to how much fun it was to roller skate. Certain things to you remember, but nothing can compare to the feeling of rolling around a corner so fast that you feel like you are flying or racing after your friends after they almost made you fall... on purpose.
We don't do that anymore. Thanks Break Skate for single handedly bring back the roller skating (not blading) and saving all the roller skating rinks from the brink of bankruptcy. Seriously, the old skool crew would never let roller skating die. I was at the roller skating rink two weeks ago and the was an 65 year old couple skating together, a 46 year old retired figure skater in a blue wind breaker (yes she brought it back) and 78 (not kidding) gentleman with one roller blade and one roller skate on (yes he is still that skilled). Meanwhile, the rink was filled with every body from 18 year olds to 45 year olds and everything in between. We have fun.

The Waistline
Okay... talk about longtime no see. When is the last time America (in general) saw their waistline. I (in great company I might add), like millions of Americans have fallen victim to a horrible disease. No not obesity. Nope not diabetes. Laziness. I could sit here and give you every excuse (oops, I mean reason) as to why I am fat but the bottom line is that all those reasons probably stem from well, being overweight.
In mind and spirit, I am not lazy. I am well educated and well travelled. Yet, I have a serious problem getting out of the bed when Top Chef is on. Why is it that I can sit and watch Celebrity Fit Club Bootcamp but can't seem to crack open those new Billy Blanks Taebo Bootcamp DVDs I just bought. Each time the show comes on I commit to doing at least sit ups during each commercial break. Then one by one the commercial come on and go off and each time I bargain with myself about committing to the next break. Then the breaks during the next show and so on. I work 10 to 15 hour day during busy season and yet in still I can find the time commit to these exercises yet no time to do them.
I admit when I had a trainner, I was more committed to working out. Spending money will do that to you.
Well America- I like thousands of others have decided to do a juice fast to jump start my weight loss. After doing some serious research I believe it is a healthy way to (1) rid my body of toxins (2) restart my metabolism and (3) lose fat. I am optimistic but I know it is not going to be easy. I have already built in a cheat system. If the fast becomes to unbearable, I am allowed to have an all natural juice bar or a piece of fruit if I commit chewing the fruit very finely. The whole idea here is give you organs and digestive tract a break so that they can focus on detoxing after all.
Don't know how long I can keep up the fast but I am going to try for one day, then one week, then 2 weeks and then 30 days. Realistically, I have committed to 2 weeks. We shall see who that goes. To ensure that I won't cheat, I have enlisted the help of a friend and of course I have all of you to be accountable to, since I had the bright idea to announce it.
I can't tell you how much I weight because that is just embarrassing. Don't get me wrong, I look good, as most 80s babies do, but I can stand to lose about 40 pounds.
Hey if JT can bring Sexy Back, I can definitely bring back the waistline.
