Less than 2 weeks to go, my mind is playing games and thinking I am already beyond the 90 days mark, that food is OK just needs to be in control.
We had guest today, family from Israel visiting Japan for a 3 month scholarship, it was nice to have them over, but I binged on the cake we had, not too much but not something I planed to do. I need to get better back into the program
22:00 I was able to pick myself up and get downstairs for the workout. I worked within my mind many reasons why I can skip this workout and other excuses. I think the time passed, created within us the delicate and breakable motivation to keep the routine. neglected I think we learn easy to give up and find excuses why not, just keeping with the routine helps us to fight it. ( I think it also works the other way around, breaking a bad habit)
I jumped 30 minuets and done the needed sets, it was a bit hard, as the past 2-3 days I did not keep the program, here is also another lesson, break and it will be harder the next time yo pick up, follow up and it will be less hard.
Tomorrow is another Jewish holiday called "Yom Kipur", it is a day that we fast for a day, contemplate on the past year, asking forgiveness from people we hurt, ourselves and god. It is one of the few holiday i try to keep. my father used to tell me that in the Nazi death camps he was, although there was very few food for people in the camps, but some of them fasted during this day, I keep it for also in memory of them.
I need to see how I combine PCP with this holiday, workout gets you dehydrated, we are not suppose to drink for that day.
I am not satisfied with my progress past 2 weeks, I kept the same weight for 10 days or so, Understandable with the glitches I done. The new diet seems to add some food, but my instinct is to go back to 3-4 weeks ago diet where I dropped weight, I am fighting to resist this idea and stick with the program.
Tomorrow is a new day,
ahhhh Ilan, im feeling the same as you!! struggling to eat all the food on the new diet sheets, its getting bigger every week! but i also know we need the extra fuel to get us through the tougher workouts.....
ReplyDeletethere is still time to see another lot of big changes, like we all did 2 weeks ago. i hope!
and yes, skipping workout or sets makes the next one twice as hard.
good luck with Yom Kipur, hope you can find a way to balance it and PCP.
Stick with the program dude if you do these hardcore workouts on 3 week old grams you'll just eat up your hard earned muscle.
ReplyDeleteI know - it feels like we'll be done tomorrow, but then it also feels like we still have so much work to do! The new diet - all that FOOD! - is kinda killing me too. Feeling more full than ever, hard to fit in all the snacks 'cause I'm just not hungry yet. I guess our bodies need it right now, though, in order to support the work they're doing.
ReplyDeleteI asked Patrick about fasting for Yom Kippur - I also celebrate and keep the fast. He said to skip the workout on that day, take it as a day of rest. Otherwise we'd be eating up muscle. Also to take it easy when breaking the fast - drink water first, wait, and then eat slowly.
Shana tovah!
