DAY 150 OF 365: FEELING THE STRENGTH

So this morning began with an intense workout with JC. I struggled for a second getting out of bed when the alarm went off at 6:30am. Did you ever have one of those mornings when you just wanted to rip the alarm clock out of the wall, throw it out the window and go back to bed? Well, that is the feeling I had this morning. But, I forced myself out of bed, made some toast and eggs to eat and then headed out the door. Today’s workout focused on arms, shoulders and back. JC said he was impressed with the increase in my stamina as well as how much I am progressing. It’s a great feeling to hear a compliment from JC since he has seen me at my worst! Well an hour later and a whole lot of sweat, I headed back to the locker-room, showered, and dressed and was off to the office. It was just another day of casting extras for The Big C. Hard to believe that we are wrapping production on season 2 in just under 2 weeks. And we all know what is happening after that. A nice, well deserved vacation at Rancho La Puerta, where I plan on taking advantage of everything that they offer. I will be getting up every morning to go on their early morning hikes, Pilates and yoga classes, cooking classes and work out lessons. I plan on coming back fitter and healthier then when I arrived there. I also need to place a fresh direct order tomorrow at some point. I purchased this amazing juicing book called “juiced” and I can’t wait to try out some of these new juices. They have every type of juice you can think of, and even a few green juices that sound amazing. So, I know what I will be doing this weekend. I also need to do some research for my next cooking competition. It is a 2 part competition. The first part is I need to make something, whether a main dish, appetizer or dessert, that includes corn flakes, lemons or limes, and any herb that begins with the letter S. They don’t need to be the main ingredient, but they do need to be a part of the dish. The second part of the challenge is to create a drink. It can stand alone or it can go hand in hand with the food that you cooked. I need to come back strong with this competition since I failed miserably at the pizza making competition. Let it be known that pizza making is not easy! Well, time for me to head home. Yep, it was another day of typing my blog at the office. Oh how I miss my MAC. Till tomorrow.
