Tonight I went to a house music dance party – also known as spin class at Crunch.
Seriously. It has the 4/4 music, the light show, the shouting/rhyming emcee and the entire time you’re pedaling in near complete darkness. I seriously expected a candy raver to pop out from behind one of the bikes and try to sell me ecstasy.
I mean it was fun, don’t get me wrong, and the time passed incredibly fast considering the insane workout I was getting. It’s just… there wasn’t a whole lot of bliss in my exercise. Though it was way more hardcore of a workout than I could ever get from yoga I missed the walking out and feeling relaxed part of the experience.
When I left I kind of felt like I was emerging from a club. Into a gym. Weird.
Once again, like so many other things in my life it comes down to more balance.
Equilibrium in the madness of life. Maybe I’ll roll my mat out later and do a few restorative poses.
When I got home I was famished, I mean crazy, ravenous “I could eat a frozen Boca patty” starving. I held off though thankfully, and took an ultra quick shower. I then decided to concoct a quick and healthy delicious meal from a combination of leftovers and stuff in the freezer.
I put a little olive oil in a pan on medium heat and browned a few pieces of very firm silken tofu,
then I tossed in a Boca patty.
I cut it up with a wooden spoon into pieces and added leftover veggie stir fry from the other night. A dash of red wine and some chopped cilantro helped to freshen up the dish.
It may not have been the most visually appealing meal, but it was delicious, and most importantly, super fast.
I saved room for a really special after dinner treat I found tonight at the organic bodega – my all time favorite ice cream!
So good, I lived for this stuff last year. It was one of the few things that helped to pull me through the darkest months of winter. Funny now though, since I’m back in the same months but not feeling the dark of them the same way at all. A safe and happy place to live has made all the difference in the world. Still though, a bowl of chocolate fudge brownie anything that has only 130 calories? Yum.
Tonight I’m going to do some writing and then try to get to bed somewhat early. Tomorrow is girls game night in the city which means wine, lots of chatting and quality time with a ton of my close girl friends, can’t wait. The week has been incredibly tough, but it really has whizzed by.
Have a great night!
