Vlog #70: Steemfat: Using beers with friends as fuel for a sunday morning gym session :)

in life •  7 years ago  (edited)

Yesterday I worked the whole day in Rotterdam.

When I got home Bianca was gone (out with her girls) and my oldest friend Ben came over for a visit.

I have been on this diet for about 5-6 days now and the question is. What do you do?

I don't see my friend that often.

I don't mind being healthy but I don't want it to stand in the way of having a good time. I decided to indulge.

Beer and Grill session it was...and it was fun and it made me relax.

This morning I went to the gym with Bianca to make it up.

800 calories in one hour....I'm not sure if that's enough to offset the sins of yesterday :)

Steemfat is still in full effect.

Great to see Steemfat still in full swing. Are you going to keep going to the gym on Sunday or is this just a one time thing? I think it will be a great idea if you can pull yourself to do a session on Sunday to mitigate that wine and beer you have been drinking to enjoy the moment. It seems like Bianca had her helping of beer as well haha

842 calories burned. Jeez that is quite a lot. At the gym do you only do cardio on the treadmill or do you do other stuff as well since an hour on the treadmill seems like a pretty long time and it must be agonising but a relief towards the end.

I guess it is fine just having a one off meal with your friend and who can resist when you cook up a delicious ribeye steak like that. I guess it is good to get a bit of meat into your system but I guess just don't do it consistently.

One last thing before I head off, I did a review of Dunkirk. I was supposed to post it last week after you and Eqko watched it but I forgot in the end.
Keep up the great work @exyle. You are killing it, buddy! :)

This might become a permanent thing actually. Normally in the gym, I do 20 min of cardio and weight training after. Today I felt like just biking. It went well considering :) I'll check out your review now!

Best on steemit right now

Congrats on getting to the gym and keeping up with Steemfat brother!! Putting aside the time to invest in your health is important but sometimes it's easier to just say the hell with it, I'll do it tomorrow. Kudos to Bianca for being that motivation to get you there. I know some days I'll put it off and my mind will come up with every excuse not to go, then after I'm done I feel great and wonder why I made it so hard to convince myself to go in the first place. The human mind is a strange thing indeed.

I think it's great you relaxed and indulged last night. You have to reward yourself every now and then, that makes the times you let yourself have what you crave that much sweeter. I've learned when you indulge a lot I start to take things for granted and just see it as a way of life I can do everyday, which it should not be. Too many people depend on us and we need to make sure we'll be around for this wonderful ride we call life.

Have a great day & enjoy your Sunday man!

Gotta have at least one day a week where you can let go, IMHO. Otherwise, you'll feel deprived and that's no fun. It's about balance. I do Sundays, myself, with Saturdays an optional workout day when I run errands. Monday through Friday, I walk 4-5 miles a day and work out with weights (MWF). Works for me, but maybe others are different. Probably are! LOL My 2 cents, Mark. @exyle 😊

Week ends and diets just don't mix. I am also on a diet again, but today my brother, father and I went to a big classic car show called "cars in the park" and we also packed the gas braai and a few beers in, needless to say the diet came to an abrupt end!! Will start again on Monday.

The "splurge" of yesterday will have little or no negative effects I think. Also because this morning you already burned 800 cal. Good you had the discipline to go to the gym btw. You must have sweated a lot so don't forget to drink some extra water today.
Don't take my comments as meddling; just like to see/hear when these kind of physical goals are reached

I don't consider them meddling man. Don't worry. I sweated a lot indeed while biking. Drank 1,5 L. Still drinking loads right now. Bit dehydrated maybe :)

Good thing; 842 cal. is quite a lot; one can never drink enough, during and after cardio (water, no beer hè) haha

I really wouldn't worry too much about your cheat day/splurge too much. As long as it doesn't become habitual and is just once in while, I don't see too much harm in it. You exercised afterwards to help counteract the effects so it shouldn't have that much of an impact.

Yes, you may need few more days of heavy workout to repent your sins but i am sure that session of grill food, which you had with your friends is worth repenting the whole week...

I think it was worth it as well.

cor, that steak looks fantastic!

no @exyle sir dont forget ur diet bcz it is really impotant for u now this time special for ur belly which u loose in only 1 monts diet and exercise so dont leave ur diet sir

Don;t worry Still on it!

ok sir after one month we see ur new photos

Oh boy... That was quite a feast... And that was quite a workout too... :) I think that if you are used to working out and staying for, your body will naturally cope well with those times you decide to indulge... In other words, don't worry

I can relate to your story. I do intermittent fasting and sometimes I do get naughty and indulge especially when friends come over or invite me and wanna hang out and have fun. I must admit those steaks looked so tempting you just couldn't resist.The best thing is to get back on track and keep at it. Its good you went to the gym to redeem yourself. Thanks for sharing, wishing you all the best :)

Hehe, you do look a little squiffy in the night before pics. Just think, it might not have offset all of it in the gym the next day but it will have offset a large part!

Arguably, for dieting, you should set aside one day a week to binge. As long as your metabolism is enhanced, the additional calories/fats will flush through without causing many ch of an issue.

Lots of protein i can see :) that seems to be a better workout than before good going :)

good day! Started on the right foot for you guys with the gym, well done! 800 calories in an hour is pretty good going, that should put a dent into last nights 'sins' :D

Have a good afternoon, asher.

I hope it did man!

You made the right choice! Enjoy life and let nothing get in your way. And you've made it right the next morning, nice self-discipline ;-)

Thank you!

You're full enthusiasm when it comes to your fat reduction program. Full gyming is on the edge. 842 calories is more than enough to burn in a single cardio session. But you're determined enough to burn all your extra fat so it won't matter. Actaully, yesterday I was kind of amazed not to see any of your blog post during the whole day, because from the point I started to follow you, you haven't missed any your blog. Then I thought you must be busy with work. And I was right. By the way wine is looking good, it's good to spend some time with your old buddies :) Wish you success with your steemfat programme :)

Steemfat? Nah man...SteemLivingtheLife. Um bom final de semana!

If you constantly go to the gym, then you can afford a good steak with beer once a week. All eaten will go to the muscles, not into fat :)

@exyle I see you are still pushing yourself hard brother. Never forget to leave beer space haha 😂🍻.

All the best man

Thx for sharing

hmm looks indeed delicious. I would have had a hard time not eating it to loose fat :)

800kcal is not enough :P

I am starving. Tasty pictures :))

Keep on working our buddy. I even quit the gym for steemit and crypto at the moment. All my focus is in here. :)

All human behavior are same. Eat healthy and stay good. You are so much health concious, so little bit enjoyment may not harm you. Please visit my blog if you like, Happy steeming.

Good post, I believe in a good diet however once in a while it's good to break the rules and have a blast, however the next following days should be a pay up for the breaking days .

You got my vote and a resteem :)

Well done @exyle! You will have a healthy lifestyle!
Thanks for sharing!

If you want full effect of steemfat I'd rather not touch beer or meet and become a herbivore lol

Great post , just be careful your diet will be impacted

You did not invite any vegans to the party, did you?

That's the best thing to do ..when she hangs out with her friends without u ..u do the hanging out more than her by digesting with something good ...
you're the man@chidiebereegbo

It would be very fun to do, let alone eat The usual steak menu we encountered ranging from roadside restaurants, malls to star hotels. One of the so favorite steaks is the beef steak. While at the restaurant and then presented with a steak menu, there is usually a wide range of steak options offered. I like your posts. thank you for sharing. @exyle

Health, my friend, do not buy
It is given by nature
After all, to us to smoke -
I need a lot of health.

My toast - for not getting up ...
Nobody's at our head.
Let's raise our glass
And let's drink "For health!"

You are great, your post is very extraordinary @exyle

Good post how to combine health with pleasure )

Looking at the steaks will definitely boost your energy.

That's great. You've burned a lot of calories. Keep steeming!

best friends are awesome.

Glad to see your better half! lol Seriously man, you know how to BBQ on that green egg thing. You had my mouth watering at the steaks, but those ribs! Oh, my goodness. My most favourite food of all time! Now I see why the diet went out the window....

That was awesome and much respect for your persistence and the gym session afterwards!

Happy times.
