Starting the Mega update... with a surprise

Saturday 8th October

Kicking off the MAMMOTH update is something i never thought i'd say. As soon as I woke up, i went to the gym. Yes you heard me right, THE GYM.

instantly i hear you thinking "Hahaha, Phil, in the gym, ur having a gilaugh (giraffe and laugh)". Well yes i have decided that in order to survive in this high-fat society, i'm going to need to offset my inevitable weight gain. I'd been to the gym twice before this, so i knew what i wanted to do.

I proceded to go to this cross-trainer, except stride length could easily be altered, rather than tradtional cross trainers which are fixed. Plus it has a 9' screen with 13 channels. Big help this is, 6 are news channels and 4 are spanish only channels.

I spent an hour, burning off 800 calories, 300 of which were put pack on due to the sports drink i took and the granola bar afterwards.

For those who remember the previous day, i had a wheatgrass shot, which has had time to work through my system. Lets just say, despite feeling very healthy, i also felt like i spent the whole of yesterday eating like a cow (eating grass, not lots and lots)

A few hours were wasted in front of the pool, where 4 of us decided to stay for a while :) (inevitable Marco Polo reference) also discussing math problems. Yeah thats what you need on 'a day off', discussing school work.

Afterwards, we all freshened up and made our way down to Carl's JR, a better version of McDonalds (if better is even possible). The place was deserted apart from the group of 8 we had assembled. for $7.50 / £5 i got a burger which would probably be about an XXXL in the UK plus XXL fries, and unlimited soft drink.

Luckily, we had a 20 minute walk back to let it settle. After that, village square was calling and total annihilation of everyone in pool and Fuusball. Eventually the Residential  staff kicked us out. Why it was midnight already :(

Heading back, i had an epiphany. I decided i'd go to the gym again tomorrow morning, assuming i haven't stiffend up (no dirty jokes please, there are children present)
