My friends know I enjoy champagne, and lots of it. A friend recently told me: “When I see a photo of you on social media, you seem to always have a champagne glass in hand.”
Fizzing flutes just seem to gravitate towards me at restaurants or events, even when not requested. On many an occasion, a waiter has followed me throughout an entire event with a bottle of champagne. That’s service, but not to my waistline. Let me go one month without it and see how the pounds drop off. Green tea, anyone?

It s a match
Last year I did do one healthy thing: rekindle my passion for tennis. I was a competitive junior and a coach in my youth in Canada, but had not really set foot on a court for well over ten years. I enlisted a great coach, Stefan Yates, who has set me a goal to win a tournament this year. Although there is not much at stake at my age, I do hope to get a ranking in Hong Kong and reignite that competitive fire.
