Late Nights
I’m becoming very fond of the all night fitness centers, and I almost enjoy going now late at night when no one else is in there. Â I can turn up my I-Pod incredibly loud and listen to the music that really gets me motivated.
How’s this for my list of favorites in the workout room:
(1) Jimmy Buffet from his 4 CD set “Boats, Beaches, Bars and Ballads”, and I really enjoy the “Ballads”
(2) Barry Manilow “Live”, and most of the love songs I listened to during the courting, the engagement, the break up, the engagement again and ultimately the marriage to my beautiful wife
(3) A great Christian Music CD from Casting Crowns called “The Altar and the Door”, and a great work out song called “Slow Fade”
(4) Billy Joel “The Complete Hits Collection” with all of his speaking parts…he’s a great entertainer
In no way do I tear up the weight room, but I do enough weights to remind me of how old I am now. I then get on the treadmill and burn 500 calories or so, just enough to work off that quad grande soy with whip caramel machiato that I had early in the day.
One of these days I’ll realize that I need to match some of this calorie burning with better eating and then maybe I’ll make headway on looking studley for my wife. After all, she does look at that tear off hunk calendar every day and saves the ones that raise her eyebrows. Don’t yet know what she does with those she saves, but maybe she’s telling me something by looking at it!
OK…maybe not!
