A Confession

I have a confession to make.  Yes, a deep, dirty secret that only my roommate knows about.  Here it is (brace yourself): I love listening to Britney Spears, especially when I am working out (shudder).  I can't help it and I can't deny it.  

My wise younger sister introduced me to a new workout program called "Slim in 6" featuring Debbie Siebers.  This workout involves 2 days of "Start It Up," followed by 4 days and 1 week of "Ramp It Up," and finishes with 4 weeks of "Burn It Up."  I am currently in the "Ramp It Up" phase, which is an all-body 48 minute aerobic workout.  I make myself get up and do it in the morning, or else I know I won't do it at all.  However, when the alarm goes off at 5:30a, I am typically not too excited to "Ramp It Up" with Debbie and the gang...

Then enter Britney Spears.  I blast my iPod with "Blackout," her second newest album (I don't have "Circus"), turn on the aerobics DVD on my 47" LCD and work out in my tiny living room, which is all glass by the way.  I think I'm starting to scare the bums in the abandoned lot our living room overlooks.  However, when I hear "Gimme More" or "Break the Ice" my adrenaline gets a nice burst and I am really ready to "Ramp It Up."  Thank you, Britney.
