This past week was a good week for me because I had more days that I did not want to work out then I did but I managed to find it in myself to complete my workouts with vigor.
Saturday I did a 15 mile bike ride. What I am finding is that although I have the physical ability to do alot more but it seems as if my cardio vascular status has not reached the level that I am wanting. I know that it will come with time but as many of you know I do not have the patience and at times I want things when I want them.
I continue to learn more about myself and who I am. I am a man of strong conviction and belief in myself but I do not enjoy confrontation. I realize that as my father has told me I sometimes allow my emotions to get the best of me. I am trying to accept that not everybody always gets along but it important to try and treat people with the respect that you would want even if they do not treat you the same. Life is full of lessons that we must learn daily.
As I told you previously we have had a large turnover here at Core Fitness. We had a great dinner last night. It was a real test for me as not only was this a high end steak house but they have the largest wine selection in the world and they have special dessert rooms. All I can say as desserts and fine liquors were being consumed all around me I had a small side of berries and an iced coffee. It was tough.
I do have some very exciting news. The restaurant we went to needed pants and I had to go buy some. I actually went to Nordstrums and bought pants of the rack SIZE 46. Yes you read that correctly SIZE 46 that is 10 sizes smaller then when I came here.
Today( Sunday) was a day of rest. I went to the Andy Warhol exhibit and the Dali museum. Nothing like a little culture.
Anyway tomorrow is the start of my last week. I am excited about working hard this week and then returning home.
Thanks for all the support. I will still need this at home as well as this is just the start of my journey and I know that the road will be long and winding with ups and downs.
Hope that everyone had a great 4th of July.

Ira,
ReplyDeleteGood stuff, it's obvious thios is prettyy mental as well as physical for you. This sounds life changing, you should be proud - and you've only just begun!

You have obviously kick started a lifestyle change and I'd be interested to know if you must have a complete abstinence from wine like someone in AA or if moderation concept is permitted? You have demonstrated incredible discipline and look forward to seeing the smaller you. A lady friend of mine keeps this quote on her refrigerator.."Nothing tastes as good as thin feels!"
