Today was Valentines Day. I went traditional and gave the wife a card and a dozen roses. She did the same and got me a nice bottle of cologne. I don't know the full history behind VDay but I'm pretty sure it had something to do with the folks at Hallmark and Hershey's.
I've also bee trying to get in better shape. I've put on a few pounds since I started brewing. Delicious beer is much like delicious food. The best ones are loaded with calories. Most of mine were topping out at 300calories per pint. I've since gotten it down to about half that but when you drink 3 or 4 and then go to bed, it's easy to put on weight. I started a workout routine last week and it is kicking my ass. It's called the Spartacus: Blood and Sand workout. Supposedly the same routine the stars of the television show use. I've never seen the show but imagine they all look like Greek gods. The workout consists of 10 one-minute routines with a 45sec breather between each one. You are supposed to complete the circuit of routines 3 to 4 times and do that 3x per week. It sounded easy enough. After all, it only uses 10lb dumbells. The first time I tried it, I couldn't make it through a full circuit. I thought I was going to die. Tonight was my third attempt and I can almost make it through one full circuit. The thought of doing 3-4 of those in one day is scary yet exciting. My whole goal for this is to lose about 20lbs and get in better shape. Here is a link to the video if anyone is interested. I challenge you to go through a full circuit (does not count if you are under 25), http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9LEjEV2n1Q
