Day 82 - I Love Rest Days

Man, do I ever love rest days. I needed this one so much more than the ones in the past. I did a lot of relaxing things, including trying to make my own power granola bars. They didn't turn out quite how I was expecting, but at the least, they are still edible and I've got enough to last me through the week at minimum. I'm going to have to play around with the recipe a bit. My girlfriend wasn't too fond of the texture, but said that the taste was ok. Anyway, once I get a good batch, I'll share the recipe with you all.

Today was mostly uneventful in the health department other than me overeating a bit at supper, feeling a bit guilty and then sneaking in a short wii workout. Hey, it's just playing video games, eh? So technically, I was still resting.

Pictures will go up for tomorrow. For now, I really need my sleep.

Day 82

Day 58 - More Wii!

Just a quick entry today. Once again, my attempt at hitting the gym up for a short cardio session was pre-empted by pumping my fists and pounding the air on the Wii with my girlfriend. Played for over an hour this time and worked up an appetite for supper. Tomorrow my plan is to hit up the gym first thing in the morning early before my work since tomorrow evening is reserved for Friday socializing with my girlfriend's work friends.

Anyway, here's the catch up pics from Day 10 and 11:

Day 56 - Back on the Wii Workout

Today I was all set to go to the gym to get in a little cardio session, but it was raining out. I thought it was just a little drizzle, but when I was getting ready to leave, I realized it was an all out downpour. I don't have a car, so its still a 10 minute walk to get to the gym, and lately I've been battling a cough and cold, so I thought it was wiser to not go out and get soaked and cold. So, there I was, protein shake and banana all ready to go for my after workout meal, but me left with no workout at the gym.

I wasn't totally skipping out though, I decided to get back on to my Wii Workout! Yes, believe it or not, it is possible to work up a sweat playing video games. I put on my workout clothes and turned on Wii Sports Boxing and jumped around and punched the air for a good 40 min. Now mind you, it probably doesn't quite burn as much calories as that treadmill, but it seemed like a better alternative for me than heading out in a storm.

I spent a lot of tonight just cleaning up the apartment and making all my meals for tomorrow. Now its close to bed time for me, just gotta put these pics up...
