Day 20 - Exercise, Breakfast and Lunch

So as you know if you read my previous blog, i woke up today and before i did almost anything else i pulled out my wifes yoga mat and got started with some exercises to attempt to make up for last nights midnight snack over our DVD marathon.

Let me try to recall what i did on that mat...

I started out with some lunges where you put your right foot in front of your left and then bend down 12 times.  Then the other leg for also 12 times.

Then i did the double lunge where its a normal lunge only you also bring your leg out back and bend down, another 12 times.

After that i got the dumbbells and started doing some of the dumbbell exercises i had learned before:

Lunge with dumbbells - 12 times
Where you bend down like a squat with dumbbells - 12 times
and then that lunge when you squat all the way to the ground then go only halfway up and then back down only to go back all the way up - 12 times (fucking tiring this one!)

After that i did a few planks.

Regular plank - 1 minute
Side Plank - 30 seconds each side
Plank with leg raises - 12 times

Dumbbell curls for biceps - 20 times (the dumbbell was light)
And some other dumbbell weight training...

REPEAT ALL!

Haha after that i got showered and was hungry for breakfast.  Check it out!  Peanut butter!!!

2 tablespoons is considered a serving:

I had about 2 teasespoons worth

230 calories per serving

total fat 16 grams

Carbs - 16 grams

Fiber - 3 grams

Protein - 8 grams

Delicious and i don't know what all of that means but i think it's pretty healthy :)

Then we went off to work and at around 1pm i decided it was time for lunch, this is what was served:

It's some chicken with some veggies and an egg unlike any way i've eaten egg before.  Not bad, nor was it filling!  But somehow my 2 pieces of wheat bread with peanut butter did me well :)

I think i might exercise in the morning again, i quite liked it :)

Now how do i wake up early again?!?!

Day 18 - Tagaytay Highlands

Slept really well last night!  Like really really well!  I love sleeping in cold rooms under thick blankets and being beside my girl on the same single sized mattress.  I woke up in a great mood (like i often do nowadays) and slowly got the day started.

My wife and her friend put breakfast together and it was the typical breakfast of champions!!  Check it out!

No rice. Just a slice of Spanish Bread with a bit of corned beef and a scrambled egg :)

There was a lot and when everyone was done and the others wanted the left overs finished, i ate this:

Just a tad more of each, without the bread :)

We chilled out a bit after breakfast and i had a bit to smoke and then slowly made our way to the gym to work out all together.  Yes, i actually went to a private gym.  I didn't love it.  I realized i prefer working out in privacy and don't really enjoy seeing other people there nor being seen by others...

This is what i did at the gym.

Weight training in various weight classes for by:

Shoulders

Chest

Back

Triceps

Biceps

But since i didn't enjoy lifting weights with other people there, plus, hated it that i didn't know what to really do with myself, i ended up on the rowing machine for something like 10 minutes doing hard rowing and another 15-20 minutes on the stationary bike losing something like 100 calories (said the machine).  Beyond that, my wife taught and showed me what she does at Plana Forma which was just some dumbbell stuff and push ups.  I really liked it by the way, thanks hon!  Now im actually curious to try the class myself :)

After our workout we headed back to the house for lunch.  I was really hungry by this point and couldn't wait to eat.  So, since i did have to wait a few minutes, i thought to eat the remaining Spanish Bread that no one was going to eat.  I suppose it's important for you to know that i can eat 10 of these fuckers!  Yes, i really do love Spanish Bread.  Ask the boys at Wombworks if you don't believe me.  They've got a bakery not far and i always get a few to munch on while were recording or filming there.

I was still hungry after this though so while continuing to wait i decided to indulge myself with some peanuts that were lying on the table.  They'd been eating it all morning and i'd been staying away from it since it was junk food but when i finally decided to have some, i was shocked at what i saw!  Check out the container it came in and read what it says!

Healthy You Mix Nuts

Heart Friendly and High Protein

Perfect!

And then came lunch!

Potatoes with some other healthy stuff...

Tomatoes with some healthy stuff...

With 1 Hungarian Sausage!

And lastly, a tiny portion of leftover Spagetti!

What a great lunch!  After this we all kinda slowed down and relaxed over a DVD and fell asleep!

By the time it was time to go, we took a shower, packed our shit, and left with a nice and light feeling.

Thank you to our gracious hosts and we hope to be invited to your beautiful place again :)
