Fitness Challenge Weekly Log

Welcome to my week 3 results!

Now we’re talking.  Yup.  213 lbs.  I barely worked out and ate trash.  For all you health gurus, answer me this!… (And this is no April Fool’s Joke!)…

  • I worked out only twice
  • I ate donuts
  • I ate a Chinese Buffet (3 plates)
  • I ate an egg salad croissant
  • I ate burger & fries THREE TIMES
  • I drank over a litre of chocolate milk
  • But I lost 2 lbs!
  • It’s things like this that want to make me go back to eating junk and packing up my exercise gear!

Weight & Body

Down 2 lbs to 213!  Make note I weigh myself the same way – in the morning after I’ve went to the bathroom.

Food

Crap.  I feel bad because I didn’t take any pics of the burgers or the Chinese Buffet.  As I said last week, I went away on business for the week and didn’t want to take pics in front of coworkers.  But here’s how the pig out went:

Burger 1:  A really good burger at the Cactus Club in Calgary.  A nice place with the HOTTEST servers I have ever seen at a restaurant.  Our server was decent looking (maybe a 7/10), but beside us was a 9+/10 and the other side of the place had another 9+/10.  There were some 8s sprinkled here and there too.  The place was packed with business people.  I don’t think I saw any servers (all women) worse than a 7/10!

Cactus Club

Burger 2:  I was starving.  This is only the second time I have done this, but I ordered a burger combo from a Strip Club.  This is when I got home from my trip.  I didn’t want to take pics, since a few hot girls came by to sit with me and my buddy, the food arrived at the same time and the bouncer was nearby.  So I didn’t want to make him nervous if he saw me taking a pic with my smartphone.  The only other time I ordered food from a rippers was at this same place.  For $7 (incl. tax!) you get a good burger and heaping amount of fresh cut fries.  It doesn’t make sense:

  • It’s a strip club
  • You can walk by the kitchen and it’s dead.  Where’s the cook?
  • The kitchen looks completely empty
  • But it’s an awesome burger combo!

Burger 3:  An A&W burger combo.  This time I just forgot to take a pic.  Me and Evilenger met up and grabbed a bite.  I pasted a generic pic I found from the internet below.

Chinese Buffet:  King’s Buffet in Vancouver.  A semi-dumpy place.  I’ve been there before and when I go there, it’s for quantity not quality.  They have a solid selection of “kind of authentic” Chinese food, which I enjoy.  The pop comes fresh from a can which is a blessing.  No way I’m drinking a fountain pop from a foggy glass from a place like this!

King’s Buffet.  Dinner buffet, Coke, tax and tip….. just over $20!

That bowl of shiny yellow things is a stir-fry of yellow and orange peppers.

Sorry, I didn’t work out at the hotels!  Too lazy and I flew back a day early

Workout 1 (weights)

I didn’t work out till this past Friday.  I did a bunch of dumbbell lifting till my arms got sore.  Next time, I’m going to up the weight to 20-25 lbs per arm till they go limp.  I’ve been doing 15 lb. reps till my arms get tired.

Workout 2 (Your Shape: Fitness Evolved 2012)

I did this yesterday afternoon.  I tried the 15 minute Break A Sweat cardio program, then finished it off with a 6 minute run.  I was gassed, so in the running video you’ll see me taper off to 9 km/h.  I was basically fast walking at that point instead of running in place.  When I did the running sessions last week, my calves were sore till Wednesday!
