Day 6 - Workout

First and foremost, i have to admit something to you guys.  I ate something and was not able to photograph it.  Why?  I have no idea.  Maybe i was too hungry and didn't think of this crazy blog and just wanted to eat the damn thing!  But anyway, it wasn't so bad, it was really just an apple.  Delicious and all, but still just an apple.  If this were over a week ago, i'd probably would've had a double cheeseburger from McDonald's.  This was at 5pm.

By 7pm, we were ready to begin our first day at the gym upstairs lifting some weights and stuff.  And we is correct, not only are we with our trainer / guide / friend (dude i need a name for this guy without saying his name), but some of our officemates have decided to join as well!  I guess this health bug fever is catching on and slowly starting to spread!

Here's what our workout consisted of:

Because it's hard to read, ill type it out as well.  It says:

Jump Rope for 5 Minutes

Push Ups til failure, i did 40.

Machine Chest Press 2 sets of 12 with the machine at level 5

Machine Leg Press 2 sets of 12 with the machine at level 5

Machine Lat Pull Down Wide Grip 2 sets of 12, machine at 5

Machine Shoulder Press 2 sets of 12, machine set at 4

Machine Leg Extension 2 sets of 12 first set at 4 and then set at 5

Triceps Extension 2 sets of 12 machine set at 2

Prone Leg Curl 2 sets of 12 machine at 1

Biceps Curl 2 sets of 12 machine set at 1

Regular Crunch 1 set of 25

Double Crunch 1 set of 20

Bicycle Crunch for 1 minute long

Plank for 1 minute

Push Ups to failure, i did 40.

Surprisingly, i wasn't as tired as i thought i'd be.  I think it had something to do with doing it together with others and that made the breaks in between each of these a bit longer.  Also, when the rain had stopped we opened the sliding door since it was crazy hot but then the cool air really cooled us and i stopped sweating and kinda started to chill.  So the combination of the cool air and the breaks in between sets sorted me out and didn't get me all too tired.  

What happened after was the funny bit.  One officemate and myself felt like smoking so we had a cigarette each and then i got hungry!  I was also sleepy by the way, but my body wasn't particularly tired.

Day 6 - Lunch

It's a bit of a slow day here at work today.  I've just been doing some correspondences with some of our partners and moving forward with plans.  I tried delaying eating lunch for as long as i could because i know i'm going to get really hungry between lunch and dinner but i finally decided it was time to eat.

So i went down to to dining table and saw that lunch today is chicken curry!  Yummy!  I love that stuff!  So i put some rice, not too much, and got a couple of small pieces of chicken, veggies and rice.  This is what my plate looked like :)

Then, while eating it, guess what happened?!?!?!  Tocino was served!!!  Man, i fuckin love tocino!  With a passion!  When we order shit like Rufo's or Sinigang Express everyone gets stuff like tapa, i always get tocino, so i just had to have some!  So i got one piece that happened to be connected to another 2 little pieces.  This is what my plate ended up looking like:

Man it was soooo good!!!  I hope to have more meals like this at the office.  Now, onto the rest of the day ahead.  Cheers guys have a nice day!

Day 6 - Breakfast

I was quite surprised that i wasn't so hungry when i woke up this morning.  I'm guessing it's either because of last nights pork chops or it could be because i know that at the end of this work day, i'm entering the gym to lift some weights.  Yup, my "trainer" has agreed to not put me through what i went through last Friday and again on Sunday so today is somewhat a day of "rest" when what it is really is just a target and focus on different body parts and muscles.  I'm sure that after tonights workout my body is going to be dying tomorrow.  Perhaps that's why i didn't have much of an appetite this morning.

Also, my wife and i were running late and instead of having oatmeal which would've taken a bit longer to prepare, we just had ourselves a bowl of cereal each.

This is healthy cereal by the way.  Banana Nut Crunch with whole grains and low fat milk.  As you can see, if you compare to my past bowls of cereal, the amount i use nowadays is much less than what i was eating before.  I cut it down by at least a fourth and get this, i wasn't even concious of this until i realized i was serving myself less and less.  

Roughly 2-3 times a week, we forget to take our vitamins in the morning.  Today, we didn't.  We try to take one of these everyday, does anyone know if these vitamins are good for you or if there are better ones we should be looking at instead?
