WIAW #4 & Body Fat Percentage LIES

Hey guys, happy Wednesday! I’ve been slacking lately on keeping up with What I Ate Wednesday every week, but I’m hoping to change that. Without further ado, here’s the daily noms!


Breakfast:

Greek yogurt with tons of fresh fruit before I headed out to the gym for a meet-up with one of the personal trainers there! I actually had a pretty cool experience talking to him and am excited about some upcoming advancements in both my health and fitness education. More on that at the end of the post!

Snackage:

No utensils needed! Go on and just stick your fingers right up in that good goop. Wahoooo!

Lunch:

Kyle and I went to a Thai restaurant for our midday meal and got the usual Beef Pad Thai (OMGSOGOOD) and ordered the chicken fried rice as well. We’re a pretty good sharing team and have switching plates down. A Thai iced tea on the side, of course!

That meal REALLY did me in. I’m basically a baby in that as soon as I eat a big meal, it’s nap time and I get cranky. I honestly don’t even know how Kyle puts up with me sometimes haha.

Post-Nap Recovery Ice Cream

That’s a category, right?

Dinner:

Miso-glazed salmon with brown rice and sautéed asparagus. Yum.

So now that you’ve seen my entire day’s eats, we’re basically bffls for life right? Wait, best friends for life for life? Whatever. We be rollin’ like peanut buttah and jelly, yo.

SO. Back to my day at the gym. Since I just joined up a new one, I get an initial evaluation of fitness goals along with a free personal training session. I’m really lazy about contacting someone about actually using them, so I was lucky when a personal trainer approached me yesterday mid-walking lunge. I felt extremely flattered when he asked me if I competed since I’ve never really considered myself that strong or toned looking. Anyways, he was pretty eager to set me up with an appointment to do my evaluation, which is what I did today. We had a great talk ranging from the importance of strength training for bone density (don’t even get me started, I can rant for hours about it), getting certified as a personal trainer, and even theories about the existence of God/religion in general. It was a pretty deep talk for only having met for 5 minutes the day before haha.

He offered to give me all his study supplies/text books for basically every certification that exists, which is awesome since the tests themselves cost a bundle. His passion for his job is astounding and I had a wonderful time talking about subjects that really speak to myself as well.

I also had a body fat percentage test done, which turned out really interestingly for me. I’ve gotten one done before, and was a bit dismayed over my results, which placed me as average. While I didn’t get caught up over it, I expected to have been placed at least in the “athletic range”. However, as he was taking my measurements he exclaimed that my skin is extremely thick (weird, I know) and so the numbers he was getting were no where near correct. I’ve never noticed it before, but he had me pinch my skin and then his and he’s right, I’m a freak! Woot!

It was exciting to find out that I have a much lower percentage than what my previous results told me :).

So feel free to hurl your insults at me because I literally have thick skin!

What was the best thing you ate today?
