Days 4 & 5

Day 4 the workout was done in the evening, in the 'gym' in my apartment building. I spent a good deal of the remainder of the evening cooking, before crashing well after 12 a.m. At least the dinner was right on target:




Ground bison, a few sweet potatoe slices, and a salad with lettuce, peppers, carrots, avocado. And a few walnuts.

Day 5 was not pretty--I was up far too late the night before. I managed to get in the workout in the morning, but I was dead tired by afternoon. I ended up sucking down two Aztec Chai lattes to keep going. I'm taking an Improv class right now. It's mostly for fun, but I also don't want my social and public speaking skills to atrophy, much as I don't want to see my abs, triceps and biceps disappear. One of the consequences of the late night and caffeine abuse was that I was hungry, thirsty, and tired all throughout the class, and I felt it--I wans't nearly as focused and present, and it wasn't nearly as fun as the previous sessions.

Lesson learned. Tomorrow I'm hitting re-set; sleeping in (a little), moving KFB to the evening, and pushing back Aikido to the weekend. To have Kung Fu, I will need do a better job of keeping a Kung-schedule...
