Day 9:
Day off. It's going to be a big couple days coming up. Next 2 days is training with the kids again and Thursday there is supposed to be 15-ish-cm of snow up at the hill, so I'll need my strength.
Breakfast: Banana w/ PB
Lunch: Chicken Salad
Dinner: Random. We had friends over for a potluck, so I lost track of everything I ate, except the 5 cookies

Day 11 (yesterday):
I didn't do the training with the kids last night because it overlapped with my all-sport league, where we played basketball. We played a very equal team, so there was a lot of running for the 55m game. My legs are really sore, as well as my chest from the previous days workout.
Not sure if I'll do a workout today or give my body a rest.

Day 12: rest day
Day 13: i was still pretty sore today. The plan was to work out, but didn't get my butt in gear because I was working on the re-launch of the new Fitness.com site. I didn't get it quite finished, but I'm really, really close. I don't feel too bad about not working out, as I'll be helping a friend move to a new house all day, so having another rest day isn't so bad.

Day 15: bit of a fail. Found out that we still have some Christmas baking in the freezer and went to town. Had about 6 cookies and 4 chocolate drops. Didn't even work out today
Day 16: ate way better today and worked out with the kids for 45m. Will work out with the kids again tomorrow, so hopefully make up for the crappy binging yesterday.

Missed a couple days, apparently:
Day 21: mostly recovery. Did do a small core workout
Day 22: Full day off
Day 23: Was planning on a joining the kids for a workout, but work got in the way. Did go play volleyball for an hour, though. Not really a workout
Day 24: Had 2 meetings and was teaching at the school all day, so totally messed up any chance of workout out
Day 25: New routine. I'm now going to start doing classes at 9am and writing down meals.
- So, today was Barre. I was a bit nervous because my fiance said that it was ballet type stuff ... but, I wanted to check it out anyway. Talk to the instructor first, and she said that's not how she runs the class. I was, however, still the only guy.
- great workout. We did quite a bit of work on the BOSU, so my glutes and quads were burning from all the standing work.
Food:
- morning: banana and half cup of cold Chia Taso (costco)
- post-workout: 3/4 cup chocolate milk and pepperoni stick
- lunch: two drumsticks (with BBQ sauce) and a handful of cooked brocolli
- dinner: Fancy restauarant called Le Petit Maison: starter salad, croissant x 2, cheese sauce crepe, pork chop, potato and sauted broccoli salad, and blue berry shortcake ... oh, and half a bottle of wine
- went to the ballet; 1 can of vodka ice

You seem to be doing great! Nice to see!
Interesting that you're looking into barre. Never heard of it, had to google it. What kind of workout is it? What is it for, flexibility? Do you want to do that long term, or do you just go with your fiancee?

I think it really depends on the instructor. For this class, I think for women, it's more strengthening, but for me it's both strength and flexibility, since guys are normally much tighter around the hips. We only used the actual bar for about 15m of the class.
I can't remember the whole hour, but we did all the following (in no particular order)
- planks
- squats on BOSU
- leg raises (4 different angles)
- pushups
- burpees (using sliders on the feet - works the core)
- arm raises & circles
