Last night i treated my self to a pretty intense cardio workout. Being that it was wet and miserable out I stayed indoors did a grueling workout on the eliptical machine followed by a pretty intese jumprope session. I'll be the first to admit that I'm kind of lazy when it comes to the whole working out thing. I mean camon? by now I'm sure your New Years resolution of hitting the gym has fizzled out...yeah I'm sure you have a membership and it makes you feel great knowing you can go when you want to...but you don't. With that stuff I work better when I have someone to push me. Nonetheless, I pushed myself last night.
My reward was a night of incredible rest. I havent slept this good since I can remember. Well I can remember but I'm not going to get into that one. And it's not what you think..so stop thinking it... I used to be in pretty good shape. Back when swimming was part of my life. Practices two times a day, intense workout and dryland trainging, Those were the days I ate anything whenever I wanted. I'm not going to pretend I was a great or amazing swimmer beacause I was not. My brother had all the talent. But I had fun doing it. We would spend summers at USC in CA..which ironically would eventually lead me to California's beautiful wine country-amazing how things happen in life- but anyway.. I woke up this morning and being that it sucks out there i decided to throw on my favorite pair of jeans...you know the one...that is broken in just right and fits snug and so comfortable from years of wearing them?...Well let me tell you...a month ago they were perfect...now I need a belt to put them on...I'm not mad about it. The past month while I was gone and living in CA- more on that at a later time- I changed my eating habits and to this day continue to eat smarter and healthier meals throughout the day...there was a brownie incident recently...I couldn't resist...they were hand crafted and made with love... Treat your body right and it Rewards you. I've got a long way to go to get to my goal...but it's good to know it's working. It makes me feel great. And it motivates me and helps me do it all by myself... I have to go now and pick out what wines to taste people on today at the shop. It feels like a perfect day to pour some Tres Palacios Chardonnay and Merlot. A family owned and operated estate from Chile. They make a killer Pinot Noir too but we have a limited supply left until August and well it also happes to be the favorite wine of choice for a lovely lady i happen to know. So i have reserved the last few cases for myself...after all i enjoy it too. Cheers
