82.8 kg

I was suprised by this morning's new low weigh-in at 82.8 kg. I haven't been doing anything special lately, and in fact, I've been eating at Tacos El Gordo in Chula Vista for the last two days. On Friday, I skipped a workout, and went there for dinner, before heading to the Village Club cardroom. It was crowded, and there wasn't a free booth, so I shared a table with some people. We started talking, and this woman asked me if I knew how to order the right things. I told her I've only tried the carne asada (grilled beef) and adobada (roasted pork). She then told me about the nobales (cactus), lengua (tounge) tacos, and hand-made tortillas. I said I probably wouldn't like the tounge. She said it's good once you get over the idea of the body part, but I told her I was fine with the anatomy, it's just that there's no fat in the tounge. Things must have fat to taste good. If the tounge was fatty, it'd be a univerally desired part of the cow. She asked me how many tacos I'd eat, and I told her two, and she said even she ate four, and her boyfriend had six. These people were thin, and I'm sure almost no one except a small child would eat only two tacos. But, it's the right amount, I'm pretty sure. I ordered a dozen fresh tortillas to go, which was a little difficult, until someone translated my order.

So, on Saturday, I ended up doing two spinning classes and a full strength training workout. I woke up at 6am, had a few tortillas for breakfast, and headed to the gym. After the first spinning class, I ate a sandwich, the I tried to go to the Outdoor Fitness Camp workout. When I got there, I found they moved it, so I headed back to the gym, in time to sign up for the second spinning class, eat a protein bar, and get in most of a strength workout. After spinning, I finished the rest of strength, then headed to Tacos El Gordo. I had two carne asada tacos, then I tried the cactus taco, and the tounge taco. Just as I thought, the tounge didn't taste very good. Of course, it is probably much lower calorie than regular beef, so it's good for you.

Anyway, I played two sessions at the Village, and ended up about $59 down. Argh. For dinner, I made about 4 tacos from the fresh tortillas, using about 400g (1 lb) of chicken thighs, onions, and peppers. I also had a couple extra tortillas.
