The New Workout Plan
Wow. Lots to report from the last few days. Friday night Jacquie and I went down to the Tokyo Lounge to see 3D spin. His set--which lasted a full two hours--was eclectic and inspiring. A true music lover's smorgasbord. The break kids were lovin' it. For some reason, I didn't even get my Shakira on out on the dance floor. I was happy to just chill in a booth and soak it all up. There's something so satisfying about hearing songs you adore and haven't heard in years blasting from enormous speakers. Big shout out to DJs Needle Kineval, Pluskratch and Hedspin, who held it down when 3D wasn't on the ones and twos. Here's a flick from the night (photo credit Jac):
Saturday night was the rehearsal dinner for Best Friend's wedding. BF is Italian so it was a multi-course extravaganza that started with antipasto and ended with tiramisu. Wedding day began at 8 a.m. with a private yoga class. The instructor got us all to pull Goddess cards and gave us each a reading. Normally I find stuff like that nauseating and hopelessly flaky, but my card proved very intriguing. It was the "Leap of Faith" card. It said that I should make a move that I've been contemplating for a long time. That if I just take the risk, my material needs will be taken care of. That indecision is what is holding me back. That it's time to put my heart's desire into action. Could it be that the time has come? Hmmmmmm.
After yoga, it was breakfast, hair, makeup, photos, and a ceremony so moving that yours truly was all weepy walking down the aisle. Best Friend's man was crying, and seeing dudes teary always makes me lose it. The day was pure magic. I was so honored to be there. Congrats to Nicole and Mike. I love you guys.
Yesterday I just sat around and drank tea and read a book. Then went to Jac's to meet her man (who is here for the holidays from London). We ate a lovely roast chicken dinner and talked way into the night about hip-hop and food and travel and big cities and all kinds of other things.
My love of food has kicked into overdrive for the season, and so (as a preemptive strike, because a big booty is nice, but a tummy is not), I am meeting with a very cool personal trainer today to work out. Will let you know what that's like. I tend to opt for low-key exercise (yoga, walking on the beach ect), but as my bro says: messing around on Kits Beach drinking coffee is not exactly gonna keep you fit. You know I'm not going to stop loving food anytime soon (I hate those salad-with-low-fat-dressing chicks anyway), so we'll see how the training goes. More later.
