Good Friends, Good Food, Good Wine

Sunday Supper is about 3 of my favorite things coming together in one place. Good Friends, Good Food, Good Wine. All in my kitchen once a month in 2010. It makes Sunday my favorite day of the week, and it is filling my very first condo with memories to last a lifetime. Sunday Supper is the inspiration and starting point for this blog, but it is far from being the only point. As with the Sunday Supper that takes place in my kitchen each month, I hope you stop by for the food, but find you want to stay for so much more. Enjoy!

slowing metabolism

I think it's complete crap that metabolism slows as we age.  But, take my word for it, the claims are true.  In my 20's, I never had to worry much about how much I ate versus how much I got myself out the door and moving.  Then I hit 30.  And, boy oh boy, were my 30s ready to usher me right on in to a new world.  I'm fairly certain my metabolism ground to a virtual halt for a short period of time.  That is, until I noticed my pants were getting tighter and decided to take charge.  Not that I had been a coach potato before, but staying fit post-20s takes a more conscious and dedicated effort.  At least for me.  Interestingly, now that I'm in the routine, I actually feel better and look better than I did in my 20s.  Funny how these things work. I'll take 30-something any day.

I run because claims that metabolism slows after 30 are no joke!  And the satisfaction of looking better at almost 32 feels pretty darn good!
