Ok, so I have come to realize that this is hands down the worst week to try to get back on a program. I have tried to maintain and if I can just get thru this week I will be A-OK. Tuesday didn't quite go as planned just because someone felt it necessary to tell the world that "Some of the Seniors" were not coming to PT. Well that pretty much meant that ALL OF US had to show up (at least until "they" go back to Ft Detrick MD). Don't get me wrong.........I don't just arbitrarily skip out on PT. As a matter of fact I am usually up before anyone that I know on my way to the gym. I mean lets be practical here...............I live 9 miles from Ft Gordon and once I get to PT I cant really do shit. I live 4 miles from the gym and there I have access to all the specialized equipment that I need while I have limited duty. So I miss one day a week of PT which is Tuesday. Mon, Wed and Friday are cardio days anyhow so I do my 30 min and show up to formation.
Well because of the goat screw I missed Tuesdays Leg workout (I cant really do anything but Hamstrings and calves anyhow) but........I wont let that happen again. I was feeling a little thickish last night despite the tightening of the diet so I took my BP. Well of course it was higher than I really wanted it to be so I left last night to go do extra cardio. Gotta get that BP under control.
The funny thing is that once I took the BP and announced to the house what the numbers were the first thing Mary (you will hear plenty about her later) says is "You need to take a pill for that". Is that what we have now come to? Sit on the couch and take a pill vs. getting my ass off the couch, get active and bring it down over time the Right way.
That is the mentality that has us under siege by obesity. Let me tell it one more time "THERE IS NO MAGIC PILL" Sure I take supplements but that's exactly what they are. Supplemental to my diet and exercise program. I don't look at them as a fix all by any means.
Well that's all from the peanut gallery for the day. I tell you what though............speaking of supplements, I can't wait for Saturdays update. This new stuff that I am taking is incredible.
More to follow so stay tuned...............
