Our previous classes of PCPers talked a lot about hitting a new normal and, folks, I think I'm there. It's no longer a negotiation with myself to get up and work out at the drop dead time--now I usually start a few minutes earlier than absolutely necessary. And the food is just plugging along. It feels so much less time-consuming than at the beginning, though I do still spend hours a week in the kitchen.
It's also finally having the payoff I looked for in evening discipline. The last few nights in a row, I've just trotted off to study, instead of collapsing on the couch. And the studying was fun and rewarding, too. Things I've been telling myself for years and not acting on: take 1,000,000.
In the diet, I am so happy to be back to evening fruit. Evening veg was much more difficult and much less tasty. Sugar in the evening, even natural fruit sugar, is more delicious. Am a little annoyed that back day is going to be our first morning on the road; there's no way I'm traveling for three nights with a pull-up bar in tow. Patrick--is it all right to switch that with the previous day workout? Or do you have an alternate suggestion for the kung fu sit-ups?
Yep, better to switch a workout than do a half assed one. If you want to replace Kung Fus do vsits with heavy shoes and cans of soup in your hands.
ReplyDeleteSounds like your hard work has paid off and you've found a great rhythym! Way to go!
ReplyDeleteYeah, baby, the new normal! It sure feels good, eh? Glad you've found your rhythm. Just in time to f@&* it all up by traveling! :)
ReplyDeleteNice Kim! Who's got the rhythm? You've got the rhythm.
ReplyDeleteHave fun on your trip!
I'm with you on the fruit at night. I like that a lot better too.
