The first day of energy up camp was awesome! I was so excited when i arrived in Long Island at Mrs.Varges beautiful home and greeted with her great hospitality. I loved the new snacks i got to try ant the inspirational cards we read. I had a wonderful walk on the beach. We jumped rope on the boardwalk and had an amazing meal at the Allegria Hotel. This was A great start to the  fit, fab, and fierce Energy up week!

Today we had a great dance class doing ballet at Dany Studios. Then we had fun roller blading at the Highline Roller Skating Rink. After we walked through the Highline we came across this amazing guy Bryant who makes wonderful empowerment hanging signs and we got a chance to pick one out. We then headed to  the lovely Pastis restaurant and met Kelsey Grammer! After we jumped rope, got some hair tips from a salon and ended the day with  Voltage buying us soap from her favorite soap shop. Although it was pouring raining we had an amazing time!

The third day of camp was great i got to see Voltage’s house for the first time in Jersey City and it is beautiful. We then did boot camp with Brazilian trainer Adrienna. It was a hard but awesome workout. we then had a shot of wheatgrass at clubHfitness gym. After we had a wonderful lunch at the Hyatt hotel. I had Brazzini Atlantic fish with arugula,  tomato and starfruit salad. It was delicious! We then got our energy back and did more stretching, walking, and jump roping. We lastly finished the day with a manicure. It was so much

I was so scared but glad i stepped out of my comfort zone and tried it. After, we had a great meal at the salad bar in whole foods. I tried sesame tofu and curried cauliflower and it was really good!

Today was the first day of camp and let me tell you it was perfect! We all met up at 33^rd street in front of Borders book store, and walked over to the Long Island rail road. We road all the way to Long Beach meeting up with Voltage and Jackie at Dr. Vargas’s house. Which by the way was beautiful and welcoming, we then weighed in and had light snacks. Soon enough we were in the car heading off to the beach, we walked along the shore where it was nice and cool, the waves would splash on our feet as we laughed and giggled. Once we were done walking we jumped rope, and went to eat. I had a chicken salad which was delicious! After lunch we headed back to Dr. Vargas’s house. Jackie and I as well as doctor Vargas’s daughter jumped in the pool as the girls sat on the edge. All in all I thought the trip was very relaxing and unique.

For the first time in my life I attended a ballet class. And trust me it is not as easy as it seems, especially if you’re inflexible like me. However, the instructor was clear and brief and his assistant, fluent. We worked on many positions and hand movements. After ballet we went rollerblading and ended up walking on the highline. Voltage bought us amazing hand made gifts. But then you wouldn’t have guessed what happened……it started to rain. So we decided to go for dinner, we ended up eating at Pastis, I had scallops with a lemon dressed salad yummmmy. By the time we were done and out the door it was pouring…so we had to run all the way to the train, on our way we passed by a hair salon and got so many tips and suggestions. Voltage also bought us soap, mine was jasmine scented. A great way to end the day, Thanks Voltage!

Today we visited Voltage’s place and went straight for boot camp. Boot camp wasn’t what I expected it to be, it was tough and sweaty we all got exhausted and sore. After boot camp Voltage made us try a shot of wheat grass, it was my first time trying it, wheat grass has a very bitter taste at first but then leaves a very sweet aftertaste. Once we were done trying the wheat grass, we walked four miles and then headed off to the park where we stretched and exercised. After all the hard work and sweat we got rewarded with a nice healthy lunch and manicure, it was my first ever manicure. So once again, thanks Voltage!

Today was AMAZING so SPECTACULAR!!! We started off with a ballet class were I learned to be more confident when I dance and then switching to TRAPEZE FLYING! We did so many flips and trick it was absolutely amazing! I mean when I first got up there I was scared and terrified but once I let go everything felt so swift and natural. After trapeze we had lunch at a farmers market, we had big plates of healthy organic food, we also had sugar free deserts..yummmm! I just really want to thank Voltage, you’ve done it again and added another magnificent memory in my life.

Today we begun our day with boot camp. Although for some reason it wasn’t as hard as Wednesday. I guess our bodies got adopted to all the exercising. After an hour of boot camp we headed over to Voltages place to freshen up and get some snacks. We then went back to the park and played volley ball for a good half hour we also jumped rope. Once we were through with all our exercises. We went back to voltages place and from there to a Japanese restaurant. The restaurant was amazing, there was water streaming down from the walls and it was dim and cozy. I ordered chicken with basil sause which was really spicey, to the point where I just couldn’t finish my plate, however it was delicious. By then our day was over so we took a Ferry back to N.Y. and on our way to the subway got vegetable juices, mine contained orange, beets, celery, and carrots. A fun and smooth way to end the day. Thanks Voltage and all donators!
