The downside of getting this much exercise is the temptation to eat after. I leave after burning 500 calories or whatever, and the first thing I want to do is… eat 600 calories worth of delicious food. Or, for that matter, bland food. Any food. Anything to bump up my blood sugar.

Turns out the best thing to do is to go to Starbuck’s after a good workout. They don’t really have any food I’m not allergic to there anyway so the worst I can do to myself is buy a banana. I’ll outsmart you, waistline, dammit.

I Think Its Worth Pointing Out Just Exactly How Sore I Am

Last year I was a good little boy and got a lot of exercise. The upside was looking great in my tux. The downside was… there was no downside. Well, my laziness was not indulged. Some might consider that a downside. Over the last few months, there’s been a lot more indulgence of said lassitude. With negative results on my midsection.

So now I’m back in it. I’ve carved out time three days a week and I’m back to the gym. This has been my first week of this new regimen and man it’s tough. I’m writing this standing up because I can’t imagine how little weight my quads will bear if I try to sit down. (Falling ass-first onto the couch is less fun than it sounds.)

And that’s just after two classes - Crossfit on Monday and Heavy Bag today. Tomorrow’s Crossfit again, with no time to recover. Oy!

I wonder if I can steal the hearing pad from my wife tonight…
