Morning Workouts - A New Routine

Since starting work with AugustineIdeas in mid-2010 I have found it difficult to get back into my regular workout routine. With a cruise booked for mid-April I knew I needed to restart my workouts and get to the gym on a regular basis. Knowing that I often stay at work late or have events to attend in the evenings I decided it would be best to head to the gym before work. So far the choice has been great and last night my roommate said he might start joining me in the mornings. I wake up every morning, check my e-mail (which means Facebook and Twitter) and head to the gym for an hour long workout.  It helps me wake up and relax, while also giving me time to catch up on the day's news (thank you TODAY Show and Fox News/CNN). Although it's only been three weeks I know that this is becoming my new routine and it will continue even after the cruise.

A side benefit of going to the gym every morning, I became Mayor of the Roseville 24 Hour Fitness yesterday on Foursquare. I don't really care about "Mayorships" on Foursquare too much, but being a mayor of a gym (in my opinion) is one of the most difficult to get since so many people go on a regular basis.

Snow at Fort Bradley

After a great open house with friends and family at Fort Bradley, a birthday dinner at Zocolo and watching Blind Side , I did not think the day could get much better ... but then it started to snow. Fort Bradley is looking more and more like the Bradley Lodge and is becoming a " Winter Wonderland ." Or maybe it's beginning to look a little more like Christmas .

Celebrating Peanut Butter and Pancake Days, Skiing and Friends

Image
It was a week of varied experiences. I used my Chick-Fil-A Calendar Card for an order of free fries (and also ordered a wrap and ice cream sundae ) while out to dinner with a friend, then joined my parents for the weekend at the Bradley Lodge . My dad and I got a beautiful day of skiing in at Bear Valley ... beautiful since so much snow had fallen. My mom and grandma went all out on dinner and we celebrated Peanut Butter Day with a dessert of Reese's Chips Ahoy Cookies and Reese's Peanut Butter Pie (funny part ... we had no idea it was going to be Peanut Butter Day in advance, we just already had those items and it made for a good excuse to eat them). On Sunday I met with with friends at Rolling Hills Christian Church for a night of worship and baptism and then we headed to dinner at Casa Ramos ... my plate of food was giant (I actually brought leftovers home). On Tuesday I found out it was Pancake Day and figured I should celebrate. I made a few pancakes for my room
