Tony, you're a fucker.

Chest and Back & Ab Ripper X.

I have tired sweaty feelings so far, also I think it's evil for Tony to ask me to do diamond push ups... there's not much more defeating than halfway down to lowering yourself to the floor than collapsing on the first try and every try after that. F U Tony! Ab Ripper continued my self-esteem destruction as I was only able to complete approximately 1/3 of all of the moves. The outfit I wore was tight enough to highlight the layer of poutine wrapped around my belly while participating in the humiliating and exhausting task of becoming "fit". I really can't tell you whether it was motivating or not. 
And then I finally went for a bike ride on my new bike! Weee! I was still embarrassingly slow but it was nice to get out there! 
Hopefully I can use my arms tomorrow :)

Sleep time.

Oh man, that was an awesome birthday weekend!! Rib platter on Friday, delicious bistro eats on Saturday, Prime Rib from the Keg on Sunday and MORE STEAK on Monday at a BBQ at my brothers. Weeeeeee!

Now, on to the fitness update: between extravagantly fatty meals I managed to do some gardening this weekend...wooo? On a more athletic note my most amazing mother bought me a new road bike (Giant, defy) so I can get back into the triathlons! My bike was stolen off of our property a couple of years ago and I have been fairly lazy since.

I just finished the fit test and guess what?! I'm not so fit!
And the results are......

Pull Ups = 0.1 that's correct, I was able to complete 1/10th of a pull up.. to failure. The crowd cheers!!!
Vertical Leap= 8 inches
Push Ups = 10 (normal ones)
Toe Touch = -2 inches (2 inches away from touching my toes)
Wall Squat = 64 seconds
Bicep Curl = 15 curls with 15lbs
In & Outs = 35
Heart Rate Max = 162 immediately, 108 min1, 84 min2, 80 min3

P90x to start tomorrow, or maybe a bike ride? I'm pretty excited to take my new bike out.
Before pics to be take tomorrow as well.. yikes.
