Wine Makes My Heart Race

My trainer made me a deal.

Deal: which one of us can log in more cardio from December 15th – January 15th

At risk: a $50 bottle of wine

Expectations: trainer plans to do 5 hours every week. (I committed to one hour every week figuring it would lower her expectations and make her feel like I’m not competition.)

Rules:

  1. minimum time we can log is 10 minutes
  2. heart rate must get to 140, or maybe that’s the number of characters allowed in a tweet. All I know is that I shouldn’t be able to carry on a normal conversation because I’m panting so hard.
  3. trainer will text me every time she gets her cardio done

Update: I got a text today, she did 30 minutes of cardio. I did 0. Yep, that’s a zero. A big fat nothing.

One day into the competition, I feel defeated.

On another note, I’m looking for a fabulous $50 bottle of wine to buy. Recommendations?

    Let me know if you want to hit a few spin classes. We could log 60 minutes of cardio in one fell swoop! Plus, you’ll feel so damn righteous when you are done, you drink wine guilt-free.

    Diane: Oh, I do. But when I show up, promise not to comment on my super padded shorts. Because I probably won’t wear them. Clearly you’d just be commenting on my puffy ass. I really do want to try a spin class.
