Day 26 - Rocking the Rockstars

Workout
I squeezed in today's workout just now while no one was home. Josh's friend Al is in town, and I thought, I better get this workout in before they get back from the pizza place, otherwise, I'll have spectators. So I actually jumped up, threw on some workout clothes and got to work. Today was much harder than yesterday, but much more doable than Level 2. I managed to get through the rockstars today without getting a headache. I just tried to land softer, and made that my focus. I think it also helped that I drank some water before, so I didn't have a mild headache half way through the workout.

Bad Eating Habits
In other news, I've realized my eating habits are utter crap. Not what I eat, that's not the problem. It's how much. In the words of Louis CK, the comedian, "I don't eat until I feel full, I eat until I hate myself." This concept of feeling full... what does that mean? Full means like, tight pants, aching stomach right? Basically all my life, I've had an efficient metabolism, so I could get away with all this. I have a distinct memory of going to cross country practice in high school, and eating a Wendy's combo #1 for snack... before having dinner. Err, not so much anymore. Now, the metabolism has slowed down, and there seems to be this layer of flab that sticks and will not go away. Change is needed.

  1. I'm glad you're starting to feel better about the Rockstars. My jumps on those are very low because of the impact it would have it I went any higher ... gotta save the joints.

    I feel you on the eating habits - I used to eat to the point of not allowing myself to feel full ... I just ate and ate. Granted, doing this caused me a lot of damage, which I am working on remedying, but it takes work. As I got the portions under control, I noticed that I actually got full, and it also helped that I took my time and didn't devour the food in front of me.

    I'm liking the fact that I've got my food issues under control for the first time in over a decade, so it is a very welcome change. Give it some time, and now that you are conscious of it, you will be able to make the changes you need.
