I was reading Fighter Diet blog today and I thought this was worthy of reprinting:
I can’t stand complaining when it comes to dieting and training. People have to accept that there are rules that must be followed to reach their goals. As long as you are looking for an easier way out, you won’t be loyal to your principles. It’s all about the mindset. Instead of seeing something as “not being allowed” or “cannot have,” you have to tell yourself that you can choose the foods that help you reach your goals and you can choose to avoid the ones that don’t. In other words, you have the right to eat whatever crap you want, but if you do, it’s just because you are not 100% committed.
Well, I am about to put this computer away and bring out my trashy novel which I haven’t done for awhile. Watching a tornado show at the moment – they absolutely fascinate me.
I had a day off training yesterday as we traveled home from Murrayville – was home around midday but I was really buggered for some reason, and I even slept in til 10am – I cannot remember the last time I have done that! The day we left I did cardio when I got up, and trained at lunchtime so was pleased to get that done before going. Been waking with a headache every day as I was so in need of a chiro visit – of which I had today thank goodness.
So training is good, I may have mentioned I am doing 2 sessions a day – cardio and weights. The weight sessions are only 20-30 mins at this stage, 7 out of 8 days. Though I will take a day off whenever I feel it’s warranted. I am getting really sore because I have been so inconsistent. The chin ups on day 1 kept my lats sore for about 5 days! Cardio today was done on my tready – 20 mins of Body For Life cardio. Tomorrow I will do a longer, steady state session, outdoors.
I’ve been answering some interview questions for an article in Oxygen. But my brain is a bit fried now so will leave it til tomorrow.
I have a build up of massage sessions I should use before the end of the year, such a pity 
One a week until end of year from now on I think! Been trying a few different ones of late. I always get a recommendation before I go see someone though, I’m pretty particular about my massages.
Battery about to die so off I go to read.
