I typically try not to drink during the week. However, anyone who knows me, knows my weakness for wine, and after a long day behind the computer, I am in DIRE need of conversation and spirits (the liquid kind).

So, last night my sister and I went to Roaring Fork to talk business and catch up on life. For anyone who goes to happy hour, you absolutely must accompany wine with appetizers, especially if you’re at Roaring Fork – delicious! Unfortunately, as is usually the case with my sister and I, we drank a few more glasses of wine that we originally anticipated.

This morning I trained with Meagan and was in for a surprise. I regularly take two energy pills 30 minutes before I work out to help me burn fat and to wake me up for my early morning sessions. Unfortunately, energy/fat burning pills, intense weight training and a slight wine hangover don’t mix. Throw in a sinus headache for even more added value, and you’ll be the life of the party!

Next week, I highly intend NOT to drink wine the night before my training sessions. That’s a cocktail of delight which I will have to forgo in the future.

The good news, though, is those 5 lbs (the ones I put on during my 6 weeks off from my diet) are gone.

Cheers!
