A week from absolute hell

I know I sound like one of those whining babies, but this week has been absolute hell. Between regular work, part-time work, and everything else in-between I feel like I've had absolutely zero time. Again I missed a workout, but I'm pulling a double tonight to get myself back on track. I've realized lately that missing a workout is more than just a slight letdown - it makes me grouchy, makes me feel fat, and gives me the overall feeling like I haven't worked out in ages. It seems kind of weird... it's just a day. But I guess when you're working out six days a week not working out feels like you missed something that day. So, to catch up for this week - I did yoga on Monday, missed Tuesday, Core Synergistics Wednesday, and Kenpo this morning. When I get home in a bit I'll be doing Stretch. That will get me caught up and then I can go through whatever my standard workout is tomorrow.

Like Muddy I feel like my diet has been a little off. The past week has been tough on me food wise. I've been out of the office a lot at various meetings, and unfortunately a giant chef salad and cottage cheese is not going to fare well in a car that probably gets up to 105 degrees. Couple that with meetings going four hours long and you can guess that I'm falling behind on my diet. On the plus side when I do eat I'm sticking to the diet. The problem is that I'm missing some of my snacks, and I know that's a bad thing.

Believe it or not my biggest problem has never been eating too much - it's always been forgetting to eat. I'm one of those morons that gains weight not because he eats too much. Being catabolic is bizarre because you basically put your body into starvation mode which means you store everything you take in as fat. For the coupe de grace when I get really busy my main source of nutrition usually comes from fast food which turns my fat storing body into a weight gaining powerhouse. The word tubby comes to mind.

I also have a slight obsessive-compulsive side to me. When I'm working it's very easy for me to get caught up in what I'm doing, and this getting "caught up" can last for... oh, five or six hours sometimes. Yes, it's bad, but unfortunately that's how I get things done. I probably going to have to start charting my food on fitday.com so that I keep myself on track (thanks to Muddy for mentioning it). I've actually had an account with them for a while, but it escaped me to use it while on this diet. It's actually the perfect tool because it not only charts calories - it breaks down your proteins/carbs/fats, give you percentages, and lets you set goals. So, say I want to eat at least 2000 calories and 100 grams of protein... I can plug that into the system and it will let me know when I'm not doing that. I'll add that to my list of things to do every day :)

Muddy did do something I've been meaning to do for a while - look up Dreya Weber. Tony always mentions her "flying through the air with the greatest of ease," which made me wonder - what the hell is he talking about? The stuff she does is pretty cool, but her wikipedia entry was the most interesting. While you can't trust everything you read on the internet, the entry lists that she is a self-proclaimed omnisexual. Whether it's true or not, I at least learned something new - I now know what an omnisexual is :)

P.S. My Spy vs Spy picture would've made sense if I wrote about what I had originally planned, but apparently I went off on a tangent and then completely forgot why I got the picture in the first place. Oh well, shit happens. add to del.icio.us saved by 0 users
