Day 74, Manana No Va (Morning no go!)

Hi there,

These days I just have hardly been able to work out in the mornings. Today I was able to get up and stay up, but I just felt so wiped out so I didn't work out. Instead I made a nice healthy lunch for today (tuna, brown rice and veggies with olive oil). Like Tony Horton says "Do your best and forget the rest." I will work out this evening after work.

Day 74 I think!...

Day 73: Zombie eating massacre

Hey there,

I am not feeling well as I didn't get enough sleep and I ate last night at 4 AM. I didn't put up the chair to block my path, so... PB binge to the max. I need to get to bed earlier on an emptyish stomach and put up my chair to block the path. Sucks!

As I didn't get to bed earlier enough and I was sick from eating, I didn't workout, which compounds the general suckiness of this morning.

Got to restrict eating for the rest of the day... :(

Day 70! Memorial Day

To all our countries war heroes and war dead, may you be well and thank you for protecting America.

That being said, hi there! Today is Day 70 and I will do Sculpt 3-4 after a while.

This morning I am reading a book called the Metabolic Typing Diet. Basically I am only at the beginning, but it intrigues me for its implications for helping with digestive issues I have. If there is some way I can combine it with WW then that's fine. However, I am pretty sure my fellow BCBers won't accept modifications to the WW plan.

Experiment for the month: half teaspoon of coconut oil every morning straight.

Day 68, Saturday

Evening out there,

Today was nice with Taichi and Kungfu classes, some grocery shopping (with lots of label reading, So much HFCS out there!!!!!), and a nice fish dinner with brussel sprouts and barley. Now it's time for bed so I can get up early to workout before going to see STAR TREK with my brother and nephew! WOOHOO!

NOTE: I realized I got some day #'s mixed up around 64-66, but today is definitely 68! :)

Committment

" The irony of commitment is that it's deeply liberating -- in work, in play, in love. (part of a quote from The Way I See It #76, Starbucks Coffee) "

This quote is very powerful. Food for future thinking. Back to work!

Day 67, Doing well, Rested

Hi there,

Today I rested this morning, slept in, went to work later than usual. It was quite nice! My sculpt strength workout is either this evening or tmrw morning. Not sure yet.

My eating is going well. Without doing much journaling this week, I am pretty much under control. We'll see, but I am thinking about branching out into new types of nutritional plans, like the P90X plan, etc.

Tomorrow is my wife's graduation from community college with a 4.0 GPA. WOW! Gratz to her!

Have a great day!

Day 66: Feeling good

Hi there,

Did my Fat Burning Express DVD this morning and I have kung fu classes tonight. I am working on figuring out when I am full and stopping eating no matter what. Also trying to restart avoiding sugar! This is in order to keep insulin levels down in my blood so that my cells pull energy from my fat cells efficiently. Sugar just makes you crave more sugar. Hmmm... Guess those nutrition bars... have to go... Oh well my wife may like them. Otherwise I can give them to my 19 yo brother. He'll eat them. He is, after all, still a growing (?) boy, I mean, man...

Today I was watching a Youtube video about how the processed flour and vegetable oil producers have co-opted the government into lying to the world that sat fats are bad. What they mean is that sat fats are not bad, b/c before processed flour and oil people had less heart disease, etc. I bet there is truth in both standpoints. Both sides use fear tactics and I suppose both are lying. It's just plain sad. The nutrition questions involved are FASCINATING!
