I’m not really bored, just a geek, so I figured out how much it costs me per session at the gym. It’s $115 for a month and, I think, $15 per class if you pay for it that way. So, I spent a bunch of time in LaTeX composing a table because I’m a geek.<\/p>\n

So right now, I think I’ve made it to the gym six times this month, so that means I’m paying $19.17 per session. By the end of this week I should be ahead of the game. I’ll probably never look at this table much, but for some reason I felt compelled to make it. Like I said, I’m a geek.<\/p>\n

Now compare this to how much I’m paying at LA Fitness. I paid $719.76 in December and I’ve been there once. That’s $719.76 per visit.<\/p>\n

Normally, the hardest math I do at the gym is calculating how much I’m deadlifting. Weights on one side + weights on the other side + the bar. Simple addition, but for some reason I get tired and screw it up. Some time after calculus I stopped being able to do math and had to carry a calculator with me all the time.<\/p>\n

Oh and if I were on a diet, it’s gone all pear shaped again. Yesterday I had an Al Pastor burrito at Don Pedro’s with a bottle of Mexican Coca-Cola. Yeah, the stuff with the REAL SUGAR in it. Today, I had a torta from Don Pedro’s with another bottle of Mexican Coca-Cola. I gave up normal Coke a long time ago for Diet Coke and non-Diet tastes way too syrupy to me now. But the stuff with the real sugar is spectacular.<\/p>\n

If you don’t know what a torta is, it’s a loose meat sandwich and I think they soak the bun in grease. Whatever it touched, it left a stain, and it was also spectacular. I think cheeseburgers would probably be a step up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
