Sunday and Monday and Bears... oh my!

Sunday
So I woke up on Sunday at like 11am. Felt like a body cavity full of butter so of course... I didn't go to the gym. I was, however, going to do some yard work and cut some wood. It did, however, start to rain and sleet. Figures.

So I fixed some of the salad I got from Teeter (I swear that post will get written soon!) and turned it into a wrap on a lovely Tomato-Basil tortilla. I cut up some of the left over steak from Old Europe and a hardboiled egg and BOOM! Instant protein.

My dad, Megan, and I watched the football games and I kept a fire going all day (I thank Les Stroud and Bear Grylls for teaching me). During the half-times we took down all of our Christmas stuff and loaded it into Megan’s car. I was hoping to break a sweat but alas… all the stuff was very light.

Had a small salad with more steak and egg, this time in a bowl, while watching last week’s E.R. Damnit Imma miss me some ER next season. I also had a couple of Pringles. But don’t worry. Not a whole serving. Just like 6. So that’s only like 70 calories and 40 from fat. Still bad but I needed something crunchy and covered in salt. Helped Megan whip up some macaroni salad but we did it without mayo of any kind and just used a little cheese, garlic, pepper, celery salt, and olive oil.

Continued to drink a butt ton of water but have yet to have that truly epic, “League of Their Own” piss…. I must be broken.

Went to bed later than I wanted but wanted to listen to a little of C2C before I went to LaLa Land.

Monday
The last few days I had been debating with myself if I was going to the proper gym. The Bally’s in Rockville is closer to work, gets me there quickly after my workout, and has racquetball. However, it takes me over 20 min to get there in the morning, thus my workout is shortened, the weight machines are lacking my preferences, and often times the cardio shit is out of order. I took a shot and tried the newer Bally’s at Wheaton Plaza. The pros: Only took me 9 minutes and 24 seconds to get there, had much better lighting, equipment, a TON more classes and at better times (I think if I change Im going to take spinning classes in the morning 2 days a week). The cons: The adjacent parking lot was small and packed, I found one of the few elliptical not being used, and it took me a little over 15 minutes to get to Strathmore from there. Not sure if the last one is a con or not until I time my trip down 355 tomorrow morning. This problem would all be mute if I didn’t want to save money and not get the all local club membership.

Weighed myself this morning. I’m down 3.5 lbs but not as much fat as I’d like but I’ll take 1% considering all my transgressions this weekend. My buddy Augie lost 8 but only moved two tenths of a percentage. So maybe 1% in a week isn’t all the bad. I’m going to need more if I’m going to win, what now is confirmed as, $1260 for first place and $340 for second. Gittyup god damnit. (BTW if you’re blind Im keeping weekly track of my stats in the side bar… over there ------------------>)

Tonight I’m going straight home to wait for Megan take the xmas crap to storage in Takoma Park and then come home for what seemingly looks like salad with some thin slices of filet or if I have the patience, my first helping of my diet standard of spaghetti squash with tomato sauce.

If I don’t get to another post tonight, I’ll be back tomorrow to report on my scientific findings and my ultimate gym selection.
