I'm starting to love the feeling of pushing this hard. A month in and I'm already going hellbent. It's nice going to bed exhausted and actually sleeping for the full time. Last night wasn't so great because I was so throughly spent I didn't notice that my daughter was playing with buttons again and hit the Auto-Fill button to pump my mattress up hard as a rock. I was paying for that in the morning. Toddlers and buttons don't mix.
I'm considering having workouts like those of the past two nights every day for a month to see where it gets me. It's something I've never done before. I even saw the speedometer hold 14.0MPH for a short time while not on a VO2max sprint. And the last time I saw that was at Resistance 4.
At work, there's this program that gives you a discount on your health plan for either already being in great health or following their guidelines to get in great health. One of my coworkers now has his photo plastered on several walls. I noticed he was trimming down. That's pretty cool. I was kicked out of the program. Too words-on for me. Actions always speak louder, but I've always been that way so it's old news. I'd rather be seeing stars on the bike than talking about my veggie and fish intake with some girl a hundred miles away who's never had a weight problem in her life.
You know, it's funny how these things happen. I always have a hard time getting started with something long-term and/or not immediately appealing, but once I've been at it for a while, it becomes an addiction. I think about how I'm supposed to be working on Project Lanternfish (the repurposed iMac G4 hooked to beast computer), but I'm not willing to give up my workout to do it. If I'm going to have my workout at the expense of my pet projects, I'm going to make it worth the loss.
