Why I have to do sport
To answer the comment from Ulf and tell you about the last days. When I'm back I'll be not more sportive than before, regardless I'm doing a lot of sports now. There is a simple reason: I eat a lot and this food contains often a lot of calories! Well let me try to explain this. In Rostock you'll get your lunch in our awesome epic Mensa. It is normally a warm meal. Here on the North Campus is only a small coffee shop. That means I can choose between different sandwiches. After 2 weeks I need real food, seriously. Accidentally I bought a bred toast with a brand form people watching their weight and counting points... This was just a conglomeration of air holes, wrapped by half backed meal thin like a cell membran. If you compress the whole 400g bread to a high of 1cm, you'll get the consistence of a german bread! But I have to eat at lunch time and so I killed at once (air don't fill the stomach). However, since I bought a frying pan and a pot I'm also able to cook for myself. And I can cook! Stupidly I have to cook in the evening when I'm really hungry and I cook not really low fat food. Warm fatty self made meal in the evening... And as a dessert I eat half a kilogram carrots or grapes and additionally one or two apples. Additionally
...
I love the "Big Daddy Box Meal" from KFC. I regulate myself to buy it only once per week, but this is really a bomb of calories. I'm happy that I'm not anymore addicted to tinned Pepsi. I have so strange associations to this drink, but as you know... sugar bomb.
All together I eat more calories then a three headed family. The results was shown by the scales in the fitness club. I still hope that kilogram in the UK means a different thing then in Germany! If I don't do sports, I'll become a shape like so many people here (sorry guys, but this is obviously to much). But I do it only to hold my weight!
As I told you, I'm a new member of the fitness center! The introduction was short but smart. Most of the machines are self explaining.
One detail is nice.
I got a smart key stick. This stick connects to the machine and stores all your results. Everything is somehow computational. The machines have screens to measure the speed, the power and the range of the lifted weights. That means the screen helps to do a right workout. The key stores it and after the training you'll copy this information to a server and can compare all sessions with some statistics. I'll do it normally on my PC with my running results, so this is the correct toy for me.
The swimming hall is somehow nice. Who got the idea of a 33m lane? Not 25m or 50m? Is this somehow connected to the miles-system? And why most of the people don't wear sandals? A sauna and a steam bath directly on the pool edge? People go out of the water and switch directly (yes, with swimming clothes, we are in England!) into the sauna and then go back to swimming. I have a total different understanding of sauna! In the changing rooms are two nice facilities. They provide plastic bags for wet clothes and they have a dryer for the swimming clothes.
Anyway, I have to do sports. And tomorrow I'll restart with jogging, unfortunately only on a indoor treadmill.
