Afternoon Relaxation From Your San Jose Weight Loss Program
Yesterday I took a break from a busy week and rewarded myself (and my beautiful fiancee;-) with an afternoon/evening excursion…
Now first question might be: what does this have to do with fitness, personal training, and weight loss? The answer is rewards and happiness. Read on….
So last week was a crazy week and very challenging for both Denise and me. I took on 15 new clients in the 14-Day Fat Flush proogram, started a new session of San Jose Boot Camp in a new location, ran all the morning personal training in San Jose, and handled the normal, hectic, business stuff. Denise managed the office of my san jose personal training businss,
managed planning our upcoming wedding (which included firing the wedding planner a month before the date…yea, I told you it was a hectic week and I was not kidding), and worked on her new event planning partnership.
It was a great, and stressful week to say the least.
Now during all of this, we both continued to work on ourselves with proper diet, nutrition, and exercise because that is part of our lives.
So when Friday afternoon came along we decided that it was time for an excursion just for the two of us. A reward for a lot of hard work was due!
So we drove from San Jose over to Santa Cruz and got on a 70 foot sail boat named the Chardonnay II and headed out for a 2 hour sail across the waters of Santa Cruz!

The Chardonnay II is a 70 foot sail boat that charters out of the Santa Cruz Harbor. They go out for 1 or 2 hour sailing cruises around Santa Cruz and provide a top notch service with an awesome crew and a beautiful boat. Check them out at http://www.Chardonnay.com
This was actually a wine cruise with local winery Savannah Chanelle Vineyards pournign their Chardonnay and Pinot Noir while we sailed along the coast.
So we had sailing, wine, a great crew, and the company of eachother…it was totally relaxing and a lot of fun. (It was kind of cold and foggy, like it has been this entire summer, so we got to get nice and close to keep warm;-)
We had a great time.
Now what does this have to do with your san jose personal training and weight loss program?
You work hard too! You need to set goals and reward yourself for accomplishing your goals…otherwise you are just spinning your wheels and are headed toward burnout.
Treat yourself to a fun afternoon or evening as a reward and for the relaxation. My stress levels are so much today when compared to yesterday and last week, and I feel awesome (well except for the slight headache I got from the wine;-)
Work hard on achieving your goals, practice rewarding yourself, and enjoy your life and voctories…that is what life is about.
Now go workout!
Your Personal Trainer,

Hi Brett,
Excellent how you and Denise were able to relax and de-stress. Yes, it’s easy to overlook how stress affects our decisions about fitness and eating. The more alternatives we have for rewarding ourselves, the more balanced we can be.
