Alright so yesterday I learned two things. One: I suck at making football picks. Two: What you can make with matches (http://mostinterestingblog.blogspot.com/2010/01/what-you-can-do-with-matches.html). I'm not sure how the second one fits in here but I was 9 for 16 so please do not count on me to help you pick the winners.
Epic night in Calgary. Finished my sales meeting and time to celebrate head to Saltlik Steakhouse on Stephen Ave in Calgary. I love a great steak and especially when I am eating healthy, this is ice cream of my diet. Other than maybe a lot of cholesterol, steak and veggies is a guilt free indulgence. Unfortunately Saltlik had no asparagus or any veggies to go with my steak other than "skillet fried mushrooms" which sounded good until they actually brought me a cereal bowl full. I pound through my steak, let Jordan Lapp feed on the bucket of fungi and get ready for a big night.
I meet up with my friend Michelle Wise and her friend Naomi and we head to my favorite Calgary hangout Narah. Narah is a hookah lounge in Marda Loop that plays old school hip hop and serves incredible tapas. The wise Julia Johnson introduced me to this place and I have been hooked ever since. The music at Narah makes us want to dance so next stop is Hi-Fi. Hi-Fi is usually really busy on the weekends but since it is a Sunday night, we were free to take over the whole dance floor. My dance moves were nothing short of a fantastic display of my flexibility and cardio and I make quite a few new friends. Love getting all that cardio
Anyways, great night but off to Edmonton I go! Making the most of my time in Alberta, I stop by Hideout - Beats and Eats, a new country western bar/restaurant in Red Deer to meet up with my friend Sarah Hemphill. I highly recommend this place to any hungry cowboy but was a huge tease for me. Hideout has the tastiest sounding menu I have seen in a long time featuring Grilled Mac and Cheese Pulled Pork (omg) and something called Appetizer Mountain which consists of $46 of tasty, cheesy, crunchy, fried, dip-able amazingness. I avoid the menu traps, order my 2nd steak and veggies in less than 24 hours and continue on to Edmonton.
Check into my hotel, down to the gym, bang out some cardio and off to work. I've constantly reminded by my peers that working out every day is bad for you disagree and think that cardio is something you can do everyday. I know its not the most exciting thing but at least I am staying on track.
