I have come to the realization that I still cannot get a straight routine going. Am I just ADD? The chaos of my workouts still give me the stress release that I need from the hectic work schedule of running two academies. I taught all day yesterday with the senior class recruits with Crowd control, and I have been working with the junior class being the DI. It has been crazy!!!! But, I don't complain really. I love my job, and I realize I am very fortunate to be where I am at. I just got my evalutaions from my students yesterday, and it just brings a tear to my eye reading about their personal accomplishments in PT. I had one person tell me they reduced their marathon running time to below 4 hours, and they had not been able to do that since they have been running marathons. He was amazed because he had not been training the typical way he normally would to run a marathon. He told me he has never been faster and it was due to the academy program. Another told me he benched over 300 for the first time, and he was amazed of the WTH effect since we don't regularly bench at all.

My food intake has been actually very good. I have practically eliminated eating out (except for one day last week) and I am amazed at how much that has impacted my scale numbers. The holiday time will be a little rough due to all the good baked goods that are coming to the office! Ugh.

Well, that's it for now.

Hey Brother,

as long as you eat well and keep moving, that's what's important!

Hi Franz,

it is amazing how something as simple as eating at home/bringing lunch to work makes a diff.

The combos of the RLJ KB fat loss program are great, make no mistake about it. I like to incorporate them when I can.

Are you completely unpacked from the move? It took us a while!

great update pete, glad to see you're back at it.thats the key, really.not so much what you do but THAT you do.

as far as your training add I find that happens to me if I dont have a clear cut numbers goal I am trying to achieve.but that's just me. too many years of powerlifting.

If you find one to three key lifts you want to improve on you can organize your training around them and then the "chaos" stuff can be the filler, the dessert ifyou will, after the main course.

you wouldnt eat dessert before dinner would you? lol.

take care

Pete said...

bad question, Rif....I have been known to sneak a bite of dessert before dinner!

I will be changing my focus to get ready for the April snatch test. Jan. is a crazy month for me as i will be out of town almost half the month for work related training. (No where exciting, Alabama, and Long Beach airport)Will bring my jump rope, but not sure about lugging the 24kg.

BTW, Rif, did you get that Mossberg shotgun? I was going to tell you to check out the Remington Model 870. It is a standard LE shotgun, and reliable as hell.
