Gym Diary: Saturday, August 25, 2012

I broke my tradition today. Usually, I workout only on Monday through Friday. Well, I woke up at about 7:30 a.m. and decided, since I missed (because of rain) working out on Thursday and Friday, I would go today. Besides, I didn't have anything special planned to do, and it was a beautiful morning outside. Also, instead of limiting my workout to an hour or so, I filled over two hours or so with working out. Hmmm!

I might be on to something here. While I was working out, I thought, "Well, I could rest on Wednesday's or Thursday's, and workout on Saturday's instead. Or, I could workout six days a week instead of five."

Last night, my boss treated us all out to dinner. Good boss!

Some might dispute how this is pronounced. In Korean letters it is
삼겹살. By syllable it's pronounced something like sahm-gyup-sahl. Translated, it means belly as in "pig belly" which is what Americans call "bacon." At this restaurant, they sliced it all against the grain after it had already been sliced into thin strips. After that, they sprinkled some green stuff on it.

I've never learned the name of this drink in the bowl. It's made from rice. I would say it has only a light alcoholic taste (and effect). I've enjoyed it now and then.

I've not learned the name of this either. I mean, I know it when I see it on restaurant signs, but I can never remember it when I want to talk about it. Anyway, it's cooked noodles served in ice water. This bowl had kimchi, cucumber (julienne) and a bit of boiled egg. I've enjoyed it now and then. I ate this bowl full at the end of the meal.

I ate enough to tip the scale a bit, but I forgot to write down what my weight was, and I forgot again this morning. After lunch, my weight was 72.9 kg.
