Sunday was day seven and I chose to use it as a rest day. I spent two really good hours on Saturday at open training and my body needed some recovery time. What I failed to capitalize on was the mental side of my training. I may have taken a physical day of rest but I failed to work on the non physical aspects of my Kung Fu. Learning opportunity for myself as I need to refocus on things like Mastery and a couple of my personal non physical I Ho Chuan requirements.
I did record all of my meals and snacks on Sunday and I’m really feeling good because of it both physically and mentally. The tracking is helping me stave off mediocrity and my wife and I both screen share each other’s meals through out the day. It helps us stay accountable to ourselves and each other.
Monday has been a really good day for training. Class was excellent and the discussion and training around intensity was perfect. It brought me back to my days as a kid playing hockey. My Dad would talk to me about intensity. He would discuss this with me a lot but I just couldn’t grasp the concept then and or I didn’t pay it enough attention. I think it was more the latter.
Today wasn’t the best food day. I recorded everything but I over ate and ate some things that I shouldn’t have eaten. Nothing terribly unhealthy just too much of a few things. The positive is that I recorded everything and being aware is so important. I also know that what I ate today was a good third to half of what I would eaten if I wasn’t mindfully tracking it. I do notice that I’m eating too fast. I need to slow down and take more time. This will only help with digestion as well as the amount of food that I’m eating. Overall I’m extremely happy with the changes we’ve made to our diet.
That’s it for now.
Mr. Repay
