Rainy Monday in December

It is December, it is rainy and cool not so cold as it had been in November.  Life goes on, trying to find the balance in fitness; exercise minutes, nutrition and sleep.   Mentally I have been off and on, taking several days off over the last few weeks.  Having had a hard time learning to take time off from exercise, I find myself recently motivated followed by days with no motivation.  Trying to find the sweet spot if there is such a thing.  So it goes, life is good.  As I sit here, I am good, on track feeling fine.  One moment and one day at at time...enjoy it all

Comeback Day 3

Cold is what it is.

It is the day after Thanksgiving, all is well enough with the world here.

Some people will have stuffed themselves yesterday with;

 turkey, potatoes, stuffing, pies, cakes, snacks,

drinks and who all knows just what.  

I used to do that myself

I know that overstuffed feeling.

It's no fun as I recall.

Some people having overindulged will then

begin a diet and exercise program the day after

the Thanksgiving feast in an effort to get

"in shape"

for the Christmas Holiday Season.

Well it's just a month now to Xmas Day,

I am 3 days into the Comeback...

going strong, not for the Holidays

but for life now, and beyond.

I hope your on a life plan to health

It's OK

Sometimes this is the way I feel.

and that's OK.

It just is.

Sometimes.

Accepting how you feel, who you are, the way

you appear, it's not fun and exciting.

Slogging through yet another day

when you feel this way

is tough.

It's mentally exhausting.

I have been working

on myself for awhile now to

get myself to accept it when I feel tired

or unmotivated and just want to take

a day off from the daily workout.

I am getting better I tell myself.

When you feel like hell.

Maybe go slow or rest up.

I try.

Don't always succeed but maybe

I am making progress.

So, yesteday...Tuesday I rested with

no workout.  A big ohfer day.

Wednesday however is today:

Decided to lumber over to the fit center

First time for the City of San Francisco. 

I have been a Giants fan since I was a kid and first

began to follow the team, listening to Russ and Lon

on KSFO, trading baseball cards and trying to get

autographs at Candlestick Park.

The first job I ever applied for and didn't get

was to be a bat boy for the Giants!

89 and 02 teams made it to the Series

but they could not close.

 Brian Wilson closed this one,

helluva job and great team

Hydration/Totals

Read a bit of the Daniels Formula this morning.  Topics covered included the need to hydrate in order to maintian blood viscocity. Keeping the blood, 'thinner' allows a better flow, getting the blood with it's oxygen to the muscles with less effort.   With this is mind, I took on extra fluid on the workout and I seemed to have a good energy level...

Working Class Act

Yesterday in Chile, the 33 miners trapped for 69 days were rescued.  These men survived hardship that we cannot properly appreciate or imagine.  They kept faith and remained resolute. These men maintained an organized way of life in an extreme setting.  It was a scene to remember watching them arrive above ground and reunite with their families.  After the last man arrived above ground all of the people present proudly sang the national anthem of Chile.  This was a powerful and moving show of a nations unity and love of its working class heroes.
