Up early and did my first sessions of the day back to back (one of them my cardio). It’s Father’s Day here and my daughter has plans to take her dad out and I’m helping her get things ready. I honestly think that the workouts and nutrition are the things that are helping me stay healthy physically and mentally right now as I deal with the pressures of changes at work, home, and school. There are still mental exercises that Dax has recommended that I’m trying to work through. Just not enough time for everything the moment I’d like to do since the paper for my class is a priority (deadline looming). Sleep too must be considered. I’m still having a rough time with it and may up the adaptogens just a bit again. That seemed to help keep me resting the other day when I didn’t realize how much was in each tablet.
The progress has been good so far. I don’t feel deprived at all and am still losing weight while maintaining or gaining muscle. While doing a bit of straightening in my room yesterday, I came across my original “Meltdown/MAP” sheets from January. How gratifying it was to discover that when I did my trials this time around, my baselines were three to four times greater than they were then – after almost three months off program due to surgery and other life situations (job changes, etc.) getting in the way. Coming back and hitting it hard but in a controlled manner certainly works.
Now time for the first exercise of the day for week 3!!
