Fitness Challenge: Brian Smith, week 2

My failed fitness challenge included eating this delicious dessert Wednesday night. If you’re looking a sweet dessert with plenty of calories, check out this creation from Hy-Vee.

Remember how I said I’m really bad at sticking to an exercise routine?

Well, I pretty much completely failed at my fitness challenge last week. I didn’t do the gym a single time. I didn’t eat very healthily. I barely left my apartment on Wednesday — the ugly winter weather buys me a free pass, right? I failed at it all.

But, I’m not gonna dwell on my failure. I’d love to sit here and say I ate a healthy dinner, that I’m going to the gym tonight and that I’m going to turn it all around. However, I’m a journalist, so I can’t in good faith lie to you.

I probably won’t go to the gym tomorrow either and since I’m spending the day in Des Moines at the Iowa Newspaper Association convention, I probably won’t eat healthily either.

So, I’m gonna turn it around starting Saturday. In between relaxing and editing sports stories I’m getting off my ass and making it to the gym. Oh, and I’m gonna eat one of those apples in my fridge.
