i’m a workout maniac

I can’t believe what just happened. I just worked out 3 days in a row. Not to mention I lost another 1.8 lbs thanks to the first two workout days. I pretty much rock and a half. You know what else rocks? New IMPE. I won’t call it ARC because that sounds more stupid when you pronounce the acronym, and using the actual name is too long, not to mention I’m not 100% sure what it is. That place is amazing. It was my first non-basketball visit, upon which I learned that EVERY cardio machine has cable TV. Yeah, that’s what I said. I stepped up on the elliptical on Thursday and rather than work out, I watched SportsCenter and burned 375 calories. It was rather exciting because they were talking about the possible Peavy to the White Sox trade (which never happened, bummer).

OK, back to me, because don’t forget, I rock and a half. I did 30 minutes on the elliptical before lunch on Thursday, followed up by some Mexican for lunch. That was Linnea’s fault. I didn’t feel bad, even after the unnecessary chips ‘n salsa and Corona Light, because I worked out. Then, Friday afternoon I played basketball. Basketball has to be the most energy consuming thing I do. It’s like my arms have liquid sleeves on them (I know, it’s gross, but it allows me to slip off my defender and rock and a half the basket with my impecable mid-range touch). THEN, I golfed 9 holes this morning. Not only did I golf these holes, but I walked them, carrying my quite heavy golf bag. I used to walk all the time, which was never a problem. The 3 workouts in a row must have done me in because I was seriously dragging out there. I started out playing really well (for me, bogey golf), but I got so worn out I quintuple bogeyed a hole (3 shots in the same bunker). Ouch. Definitely didn’t rock and a half that. Anyway, I scored a free brat (wasn’t cheating due to my extra WW points for working out), but then Linnea and I picked up a “take and bake” pizza from Sam’s Club, so we cheated after all today. Oh well. I’m not too worried about it since the only cheating we did was the pizza for dinner. Everything else was within the usual points.

Finally, to wrap up with some business. It has come to my attention that certain people think they shouldn’t sign up for fatsoforum.com because they’re not a fatso. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, non-fatsos are extremely important to the success of all the fatsos, so please register and post something!!!

another workout, kind of…

Man, I really love adding ‘…’ after all my titles. So suspenseful… Anyway, I mowed the lawn again today. I’m totally counting it toward my workouts, deal with it. Maybe one of these days I’ll actually start using exercise as a workout, what a concept. I have no more excuses, this past semester was really rough, but it’s over with now and I have time to actually go work out during the day. One of these days… Sorry, I keep …ing. It must be annoying… Oh well…

Please sign up for my forum, I need help not cheating! Linnea and I went to Chili’s last night. While we did cheat, we only half-cheated, which is a big step for us eating out. We both got something with grilled chicken, but then one of us got fries and the other corn as a side, and we split them. Oh, and Louis ate some fries too! BTW, if you know me and don’t have access to Louis’ blog (and would like it…) let me know.

ballin’ like a fatso

Played basketball today. 2 hours of full-court. You could say I got a good workout. Weight Watchers says I get to add 13 points today. I’m not going to eat them all, since I cheated yesterday (below), but I’m definitely not measuring my ice cream tonight!

Do you like how I waited until I could talk about working out before mentioning how I cheated yesterday? It was a special occasion, so it wasn’t like I just cheated out of the blue. A few of us in the lab were helping a Chinese visitor (agricultural engineer) perform some apple picking experiments, so he took us out for a Chinese lunch. You could say we ordered A LOT of stuff, and I felt like trying it all since I’d only had one of the dishes before (besides the rice…). Once I tried it all I knew I was already in trouble, so I just didn’t worry about it anymore. Oh well. I worked out today.

Forum coming soon!

workout?

I mowed the lawn yesterday. I’m counting it as a workout because I broke sweat. My pie chart looks funny though, since that’s the only thing on it. I’m pretty sure I’ll be playing basketball tomorrow though.
