November 21, 2011 - Golds Gym Sign Up

Breakfast

Somehow I got ready quick enough to be able to heat up a waffle and top it with an egg. Not as good next day, but better than my normal bout of cereal.

Lunch at Masala Wok
My co-workers and I had been waiting for Masala Wok to open up at the Arbor Walk shopping center. I had been to it once before up north but wanted a place nearby work. I was super excited about it. I got the Chana Masala and some garlic naan. Because it was opening week we also got some free appetizers of samosas and egg rolls.

Golds Gym Sign Up
I was signed up for a fitness program with my health insurance that allowed me to go to 24 hour fitness and Golds gym for only $30 a month. Suddenly it stopped its deal with Golds Gym so I had to cancel it and sign up for Golds Gym instead. I had a date with Lindsay for BodyJam. The sales people were doing their typical sales fun. They were trying to get me to sign up with the personal trainers of course and a more expensive program than they showed on the internet. I had to negotiate with them to get out of my membership fees, cheaper personal trainer plans and get the rate that was being offered on the internet. The only real annoyance with all of this was that the personal trainer who seemed super awesome told me I only needed to lose 5lbs, but the sales man kept telling me I needed to lose 20lbs. Then the sales guy told me my heart age was at 37 (I am 27). When I used the same program online it said I was at 28. So annoying. The people at Golds expected me to be someone who didn't workout often but when I told them that I do workout often their sales pitch was going weak and it was kind of funny. Either way, I was able to make to Body Jam on time, and will have four 30 minute personal trainer sessions with someone who will help me focus on increasing skill/agility for soccer.

Dinner
By the time I got home I was really hungry for dinner. I ended up just making a grilled portobello burger with a side of green beans.
