The Ray Rossi Workout – One Step Forward, Two Steps Back

Now that the Passover/Pasqua soiree is behind us, is "Fit and Lean for the Summer Scene" still in your plans, or have you done a Roberto Duran and said, "no mas!"

And just where did you fall off the wagon?

Was it your mother in law's "caw-fee cake" that fell in the middle that you glommed down after dinner Saturday; or was it mom's "pizza gran'" that she made you take home 'cause "she made sure to make you one since you like it so much!"that killed those plans?

In the interests of full disclosure, I ATE BOTH and LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT!

But that doesn't mean we don't start again tomorrow, now does it!

So here's what I'd recommend...just get back on the horse, and come to the realization that you have to LIVE in the REAL WORLD...which means sometimes you'll EAT LIKE A CAFONE, but LOVE IT!

That's right, acknowledge your inner CAFONE; and tell yourself, "...so what if I ate like I was going to the electric chair; it's still a holiday, and I have to LIVE!"

(We'll get to the meaning of CAFONE in an upcoming edition of "The Rossi Glossary"!

For the moment, be nice to yourself, and tomorrow, when you do get back to the "Fit and Lean for the Summer Scene" Routine, do a little extra time on the elliptical, or jump rope in addition to tomorrow's body part; and we'll check each other's results tomorrow.
