Trainer George Brings Back 2003

In '03 I was quite bored at work and to keep myself from falling asleep, would take advantage of the gym in the building. It's amazing what you can achieve with 1.5 hour lunchtime workouts 5 days a week! I was so fit I played beach volleyball that summer in a bikini - and was not ashamed. Girlfriends, I also wore tight white pants in public!

It's not about being thin; I enjoy feeling healthy and strong... and not worrying about which way the sun is shining on the beach (and my backside) that day.

I've recently decided to see if I could do it again, so I've been working out with George. Trainer George is slim, yet muscular and Greek. He likes my show on Pizza Pizza TV and often compliments me about it, which naturally wins points with me. But then he pushes me till I sweat from my under eye bags and behind the knees (have you ever sweat from your bags before?).

Yesterday was a circuit routine between pushups, dips and "Juda Crunches"- the kind that make you accidentally revisit lunch. Then, as I jumped side to side over an imaginary line on the floor, skier style for 10 minutes, George casually suggested I start documenting my eating habits on an online website so he could log in and track it. Translation: "So I can spy on, and give you crap for eating chocolate twice a day every day."

I tried to dodge the subject, but he wasn't buying it. He wrote it on my chart.

My goal this week: 3 workouts and chocolate once a day instead of twice.

I have failed. Husband brought me a nice chocolate mousse cake from Le Gourmand. I would be a jerk not to eat it, right?
