Aaaaaand....I've been knocked out by yet another round of sickness. This stuff really is getting on my nerves! Especially when I'm beginning to feel so jazzed up by exercise, and healthier and stronger...being sick has knocked me out by 7pm every night and made me a pretty stagnant person overall. I haven't been able to motivate my sick butt to go to the gym, so the past few days have consisted of LOTS of sleep, lots of Tylenol, and zero workouts.
On the front of actually beginning to craft an interesting blog, instead of just a daily diary of my boring life: I'm studying some interesting things this semester at school that seem blog-able in regards to fitness, including a class with the first unit solely devoted to figuring out who we are as individuals (with regards to how we will interact and where we will do well in the business world) - what our innate temperaments are, what our strengths are. I'm compiling them into an interesting post about how that all relates to health, but for right now I'm just trying to get all my homework done on time!
What I've been most proud of since getting back on the wagon again is my newfound control when it comes to food. I found this superpower once before, three years ago when I lost a bunch of weight in a healthy, sensible way. It's amazing how I can easily say 'no' to lots of things, as well as easily adjust to smaller portions, with my stress cut in half (i.e. no job). However, I have found out that no matter how well I'm doing, if I have even a half-glass of beer in me, which means I'm not remotely buzzed, I start shoveling in the food like there's no tomorrow. Just another reason why I need to seriously decrease my alcohol consumption, no matter how low it is at the present time (2-3 beers or glasses of wine per week - I'm thinking ONE drink per week is the magic number).
Goals for this weekend and coming week:
1. Increase water intake from 64 oz daily to 80-96 oz daily.
2. Complete Week 3 of the Pull-up Challenge.
3. Start a food diary - but no calorie counting yet!
4. Do 3 days of P90X Ab Ripper X.
