Swimming and All You Can Eat Sushi

As some of you well know I have been exercising a lot as of late. I signed up with Curves last week in an effort to get back to my tiny frame and to get my butt off the couch and get fit. While I have been going to Curves, Colin has been going to integrated martial arts 3 times a week.

We were in a race to see who could hit their target weight first, so now we are going full steam ahead. After putting on some weight 5 years ago, I am now sick of it and want to be fit again; same reason for Colin. I suppose a couple of underlying reasons are the wedding this year - even though I already have my dress, and it fits me like a glove; and my high school 10 year reunion next year.

Even though we go to our respective workouts three times a week, Colin and I decided to go swimming last night as we both enjoy it. I find swimming up and down the lanes very relaxing and an opportunity to get lost in my thoughts. Last night, however, as I swam up and down Centennial-Minoru pool, all I could think of is how good all you can eat sushi would be after a 45 minute swim; but Colin had planned to cook us dinner when we got home, so I didn't mention it.

As we enjoyed our ritual soak in the whirlpool after our swim, Colin brought up all you can eat sushi and how good it would be after our swim. He read my mind - after 6 years together that seems to be happening a lot lately. So we headed to Kisha Poppo for our usual late night all you can sushi buffet and made it home in time to catch the Daily Show - a good laugh, after a good swim made for a good night.
