Workouts and Wine Christine D'Angelo and Susan Pajak

Spring is here, and so is the looming idea that you will need to wear a swim suit very soon...
What now? Is there a magic fairy dust for fitness? You know the answer to that, but we dive in to figure out next steps in this new season.

And...here we are again.

Slight mistakes in the recording, but we are here, figuring it out, but NOW we have some changes and boundaries we are building.

We are going to be focused, we are going to explore fitness, nutrition, and what is in that glass of wine in front of you. We live our narrative,  we are authentic in our intent, and we have ideas on how we want to evolve.

You are welcome to follow along, listen, shoot us a note, tell us what you want us to discuss, or just say hi - we hope you do!

Do you feel that your fitness is not successful unless you are dripping sweat at the end of a work out, numb from head to toe, and searching for where your soul has escaped to? Does life have to be like this with cardio and a good fitness program? Isn't everything really cardio in the first place?  What is the difference between your want and your need for cardio?

This week, Susan decided to go to the "popular" isle in the wine store and "grab and go". We wanted to taste a wine that many of you will see when shopping, may UNDERSTAND to be good without ever tasting it, and will want to buy because you THINK it is probably pretty good.  But is it? This week, we will taste Decoy Red Blend from California: 58% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Malbec, 7% Petite Verdot, and 6% Zinfandel.  Will this wine deliver? Listen to find out...

When you know you can be doing better, when certain things are really good, other things suck, you recognize the work that should be done, life responsibilities, should I go on?
We all get there, some of us may be there right now - the stress beast will attack all of us, and we will respond...well, how will we respond? We talk it through, and come up with ideas on how to be SUCCESSFUL with our bodies, our minds, and hopefully the outcome of the exciting travel that will enrich our lives in so many ways. Don't let it be a negative - we got you!
This week Susan throws the dice, and asks a lovely wine manager to pick out his "favorite of the day" for the ladies to taste.  This wine is from Altentejo Portugal; this is an area from south central Portugal, and funny, a place very similar to California.  A lot of sun, even hot temperatures, modern wineries, careful wood aging - sounds like a great wine, right? Well...listen to what the ladies think!
This wine is a blend of Syrah Trincadeira, Alicante Bouchet and Aragon - also known as Tempranillo - a wine of many names...sorry Christine!

AND WE ARE BACK!
We needed a moment, took one, and noticed a few things:It's not a depression, it's more of a "there is to much and I don't want to do it" frame of mind.We may need hugs.We are more than what you may see, think, and perceive - that goes for our own perception as well.We need tangible tools to encourage ourselves to live the organized, effective, and HAPPY life we want.We have some ideas, from our own lives, that work for us - and may work for you! Christine blows it out of the park with her "Mindset Concepts" for the week (check out the "Team Stine" page on Facebook), Susan discusses the MANY notebooks and digital concepts she puts to good use, and much much more.
Our favorite: the "September To Remember" bingo board!  Whoa!

Then we taste Alta Vista Terroir Select Cabernet Sauvignon from Argentina.  LAST SOUTH AMERICA WINE FOR THE MONTH OF SUSAN! This wine is a blend of two wine growing areas from the Uco Valley; an area with healthy vines, lower yields, high quality fruit and wines that show a generous body and a pretty balanced acidity. Tired of the same same domestic Cabs you are buying that may appear clunky (not all - don't come at me) or that do not show the elegance you are looking for? We have decided this Cab is our drink alone, charcuterie, light pasta, enjoyment Cab.  Taste along and let us know what you think!

During your day, do you feel threatened, under pressure, or are you waiting for the stress cloud to rain down upon your plans? Welcome to my life, and many others around me! Instead of pulling the covers over my head, I've decided to use these jitters and doubts for the greater good. How can my bouts of anxiety help me stay alert, motivate, or help solve my problems? We review five actions we can put to use to help us anticipate obstacles, remain cautious and stay organized.

We wrapped up with a great fact about anxiety: Anxiety gives clues to where your life may be out of balance.  I love knowing that this emotion can prove I am capable of learning. Bravo!

It was 7:30 AM when we recorded this podcast, so there was an obvious wine choice; bubbles!  We taste Bodega Norton 101 Bubbles https://www.kobrandwineandspirits.com/product/bodega_norton_101_bubbles/
and Christine tastes the grape Grüner Veltliner for the first time.  An Austrian grape, grown in Argentina, then transformed into a sparkling wine.  You heard that correctly! Wonderful affordability, a great step for Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Grigio drinkers, paired well with fatty and fried foods as well as hard cheeses and veggies, full of citrus and green apple - a winner!
