Day 45.

So. Food is my enemy. And, as in all really good stories, I have an intimate love affair with my enemy. I. Love. Food.

And all of the really tasty things that I love are really bad for me. For instance, french fries. I love french fries. And just about every restaurant in the world gives them as a side dish when you order ANYTHING. Salads come with fries on them, which really defeats the purpose of a frigging salad.

And UPie is probably the worst. Their food is so fantastic that just walking by, I gain a pound. Today I got a gyro and it was awesome. And I did this before I worked out. So I worked out on a full stomach, which is a bad idea. Because what I really wanted was to take a nap.

And after walking around the parking deck for 20 minutes, in flip flops, looking for the car, I was almost ready to take that nap. I was hot and sweaty, my feet hurt and I hadn't even hit the gym yet.

But I persevered. I even thought about doing the fat burner program twice. Of course my genius wife informed me that if I do the Interval program I can set the time and it does the same thing as the fat burner. I shall investigate.

I also did legs FOR FRICKING REAL. I did the normal front and back, then the abductor, adductor, and then I did this machine that works the calves. And it was hard. But kind of really awesome. I'm going to have AMAZING calves. Get jealous. I also did this thing called the Sled.

You sit and push yourself up with your legs. Kind of like a squat, but you're sitting. This kind of scared me. You know how when you're lifting and you feel like your arms are going to give? Then, you're just like, "no big deal, it's just my arms." But when your leg starts to feel like it's going to give? That is scary. Because if your leg gives, you're screwed. On a machine like that, you'd face-plant before you had time to think about catching yourself.

And then your face is jacked up too. So, you see my point.
