Next Step

The thing that I am focus­ing on now is the phys­i­cal con­di­tion­ing of the body.  I am try­ing to tack­le this in two steps.  For the diet­ing por­tion, I am doing Tim Fer­riss’ “Slow Carb Diet”.  The jest of the diet con­sists of just eat­ing meat and veg­eta­bles with­out bread, rice, pota­toes, dairy, and fruit.  Half the food that I like is now lim­it­ed down to one day a week which is clas­si­fied as my cheat day.  This is a major test of dis­ci­pline because all the good­ies that my son has in the house is now off limit.

To match the diet­ing prac­tice, I had to do an inspi­ra­tional work­out pro­gram based on Joe Rogan’s phi­los­o­phy of doing some­thing tough to make your­self feel like a man.  I looked at the options around me and decid­ed to learn box­ing.  I learned quick­ly that I am out of stan­dard.  I have not left one time with­out hav­ing that puk­ing feel­ing but it is good to have the sore feel­ing in the body again.

Update — So after one week of imple­ment­ing the diet­ing and work­out pro­gram, I have lost six pounds and feel great.  I was look­ing to start the next week like I did the week before, but I have a hel­la­cious head cold that is slow­ing me down.  I have stopped going to the gym but con­tin­ued with the diet.  I hope I feel bet­ter again so I can get back into the gym next week.
