Workout Log 211 - What a Train Wreck of a day.

Today was a total train wreck. I was doing so well until I missed a meal in the afternoon, due to an errand that I had to run. From that point, my train derailed.

Even when I got back home, I could have went to the gym at my regular time, but felt so nauseous because I desperately needed something to eat. So I ate something small to satisfy me a bit and decided to to hang out with one of my buds. Later on the evening I had to go back outside to run another errand. It was about 10pm and my hunger struck again. This was no regular hunger..I was seriously, seriously starving!! I can't remember ever being this hungry and with all the little voices in my head trying rationalize eating late in the evening, I finally caved in and had to binge =(... So, I stopped off at Pat's Homestyle and decided to split a small jerk chicken and rice with the da wifey. Reminiscing on it, it was damn good!! I even asked for extra gravy!! =) (what was I thinking.....)

So, I may have broken down today, but tomorrow is another day. I'm not perfect, but can see myself getting back on track in no time. I have no scheduled plans, so the gym is definitely on the list of things to do. Another is to take it easy, stay healthy and eat my meals on time.

Workout Log 210 - Little Armstrong on the cycle.

This week has to be the most busiest week in the gym . Today, there were no treadmills available nor any elliptical's.  Unfortunately only stationary bikes were left. I'm personally not a big fan of the stationary bike, not because of it's effectiveness nor that it's a great tool to burn some serious calories, but the fact that it kills my a$$ after 5 min. of sitting on it.!!. =)  I know I'm not alone on this, as I always hear and see people complaining about how uncomfortable the seats are.

Anyhow, enough of my ranting... I completed 35 min on the most uncomfortable bike, while at the same time watching a show on the itouch... Calorie intake was good, but sleep kinda sucked as I got caught up fixing a cell phone issue late at night.

Tomorrow is weight training working on back, arms, legs and abs... Looking forward to it.

Workout Log 208 - First Week Results of 2010

So the 1st week of the year has passed and believe that I'm on the right track. Seeing that last week I gained 4 pounds from all the holiday treats, this week I lost 2.5 pounds!! Woohoo!  My waist size has decreased by .2 as well, but unfortunately still have not broken the 8% fat barrier. Oh well,  I have 3% fat to go.

So looking back at the week, I really went hardcore and didn't miss a beat. I completed every scheduled workout on my plan, kept my calories under my recommended caloric intake and ate 5 to 6 times per day.  I also even gained a Nintendo Wii to keep me even more physical (I'm really lov'n this wii thing).. =)

Looking at today's commitments,  I completed 45 min weight training working on chest, back, triceps, calves and abs. Eating has become a lot easier seeing that the holiday's are over and back on to my regular regime.

Tomorrow is weight training and abs again, working on shoulders, back, leg and abs..Look'n forward to it. =)

Workout Log 207 - Cardio day

Completed 20 min HIIT cardio, where I spent half my time on the elliptical and the last 10 min on the treadmill. Since the gym was busy, I had no choice but to juggle between the two.  I also used my ipod/itouch and watched an episode of Family Guy while I burned over 250 calories. ;-)

Tomorrow is weight training and abs. I believe I'll be working on chest, back, triceps and calves. Lookin' forward to it. =)

With today as a rest day, no workout required. I kept pretty good with nutrition and even passed up an opportunity for free pizza. That was tough... ;-)

Tomorrow's workout is only 20 min...For that time I'll be working on HIIT cardio. Look'n forward to it. ;-)

Workout Log 205 - Reward Meal Day = Wing Night

Completed 45 min today with weight training where I worked on legs, shoulders, biceps and abs all within 45 min. Again, another challenging workout and my legs are just killin' me..What I've realized again, it's not when you leave the gym that your muscles ache, it's the next morning!! ;-)

Today I decided to have my reward meal day where I ordered wings and fries from one of my favorite wing places, "The Wing Company". They have several types of flavors, were we ordered the Smoked Lime & Tequila flavour, Buffalo Style - Hot, side order of fries and watered it down with 1 beer. Absolutely delicious and rightly deserved for a successful week of eating healthy and meeting/exceeding my exercise goals!!

Right across the street from The Wing Company is Toronto's oldest bar called The Wheat Sheaf. I also highly recommend their wings as well as they were my 1st choice before The Wing Company moved in..... Of course I only have these types of foods on my reward meal days (once a week)... =)

Tomorrow is my day off from the gym and back to healthy eating...Lookin' forward to it.. ;-)
