Well I did it, I took up drinking [enter giggles here].
Ok, so I didn't really take up drinking as in I'm now going to become some kind of alcholic or whatnot. I took up drinking as in I shared a glass of wine with Snickers tonight for dinner. There's something romantic and classy I find about wine. For me it's red wine from Chile.
Both Snickers and I don't drink so needless to say sharing a glass of wine occured not because we wanted to be extra "couply" -- I know that's not a word but it fits my point -- or because of lack of nice glasses. We basically shared a glass of wine because we both can't handle more than about half a glass of it to start off with. Yup, we're cheap dates... hahaha.
I had been out of the house for most of the day, long enough that I had to pack my bag with three meals to eat on the go. For dinner, I cooked us up some spaghetti and loaded it with chicken and a homemade tomato sauce I made the other day. I would have used whole wheat pasta and also loaded it up with veggies but tomorrow is our grocery day as the veggie bin in our fridge went empty today.
It was nice to enjoy a glass of wine after a long week but I don't know if I'll be doing this every Friday. Honestly, it kind of killed my night in terms of being able to do anything beyond just veg out at home. I had anticipated heading into boxing late this evening but Snickers' body and face was still all blotchy from the alchol and I was still in mellow-lazy mode from it.
I guess it's either wine or the boxing and if that's the case then, well, I take it that'll be my first and last glass of wine for awhile. I love my boxing way too much.
As the story has it, one day I headed to the opposite side of the globe – the Flipside. I arrived in Korea February 16th, 2005 and thought I’d do a year, then leave. I was wrong. I stayed, launched my first company, Flipside Fitness, and then opened Korea's largest boxing club, Hulk's Boxing (now called Hulk's Club).
After 11.5yrs in Korea, I then picked up one day and returned to Toronto, Canada. But then I left again.
Now I live in the Philippines where I am the CEO and head coach of Empowered Clubhouse, the Philippines' first and only boxing clubhouse exclusively just for women. I also am the founder of the Lil' Sistas Project, CEO and designer of Slay Gear and Baa Baa Black Sheep .Ph.

Hey BoyToy,
Ok, great... thanks. I'll have to give it a try this week and get back to you on it, although I don't know where I'll be able to find almond milk. I suppose I'll substitute with nonfat milk.
