The Greatest “Chinese People are Crazy” Story Ever!

I am sitting in my office.  Probably playing Mahjong for the third or fourth time and DOI comes in and says, you are not going to believe what just happen. He is on the phone trying to arrange for the outside staff to come pick the kids up from the pool.  While on the phone, the outside operations guys come down to the pool.  DOI told outside operations guy that the juniors will be ready in ten minutes.  What does the outside operations guy do?  Sits and waits, no! Goes to grab a bit to eat in the canteen, no! He proceeds to take off his clothes, right there next to the pool and then dives in.  He actually dives into the pool! In his boxer shorts! Just thinks to himself, I have a couple of minutes, why don’t I go for a dip.  In the hotel pool.  Now, this may seem elitist, but her in China, outside operations workers who make 2,000 RMB per month, just don’t go swimming in the pool of the 5 star hotel that they work at.  They just don’t.  In what universe did he think that is was ok for him to do that?  What the hell was he thinking?  Literally thinking, he was off duty and wanted to take a dip.  Amazing!  DOI said he didn’t do anything because he thought it was a culture thing. WTF!!!!

Chinese people never cease to amaze me.  It was damn bold if you ask me.  At first when DOI told me about it, I just sat there with my mouth open.  An hour later, I start laughing so hard, that I started to cry.  Now, I am just crying.  OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SMH and HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sunday – last day of July

Sitting in my boss/friends room making chili and watching a movie. Making chili for my peeps in China.  I could be cooking in my own room if I had a stove to cook on, but I don’t.

I have the final stats. from July’s month of health.  The numbers aren’t bad.  Lost 11 pounds and 15 inches all over.  Took photos and they look smaller or I look small I should say.  I was disapointed in the weight loss, especially since I only lost 3 pounds since the 12th, but I am thrilled about the inches. Thrilled about the way I feel. Thrilled about next months plan.  Just thrilled.  I logged every day of fitness and I worked out 20 of the 30 days.  All in all, it doesn’t seem like to much to do to loose weight.  But, I want to kick it up a notch next month anyway.  Here is my fitness log for the month of July 2011.

Like I said, really good. If I sustain this for the next 5 months, I like statistically where I will be by then.

Next month (which starts tomorrow on a Monday no doubt), I want to do 45 minutes of Cardio 5 times per week.  Do the C25K workout 3 times per week and then straight up elliptical the other days.
