I have a confession to make:I did pretty much in the past 2 weeks for bettering my life and being an inspiration to others-I don't work out,eat crap that,even if I deserve to treat myself like crap with junk food,my body still doesn't deserve it,it's just following orders and taking everything in,the poor guy.It's not it's fault that I'm shoving french fries down my throat,it's the conscious part of me that deserves a stuffin of burgers 'till it dies. Now,don't think of this topic as a negative one,like I'm half drunk right now,angry and about to kill myself.No,this is a confession and,I hope,a start of change.The problem,I believe,was this-I was running on motivation fuel,a.k.a.The Temporary Juice.I would watch a motivational video,read some success stories or see a buff guy walking down the street and instantly get motivated and energized about starting exercising and eating better foods and what not,and usually I do do that,but only for that day or two.Then I either get distracted,forget about it or just don't FEEL like doing it anymore.It's one of the three reasons or a combination. The plan to fixing this: 1.Starting exercising 2.Eating clean 3.Review every day in the evening 4.Sleep at midnight at least. For more details,I am doing 20 pushups the first day,don't matter in what time frame I do them:I could be doing them in 4 intervals of 5 perfect form,slow pushups or I could do a single set of pushups with good(not great) form,using momentum and REALLY squezzing.I'm not excited about that second one,to be honest,I don't 'll be doin' it(trying to avoid the word "I" here,sounds selfish if used too much).After that I progress by doing one more pushups every day 'till I reach 100(if I reach it,I still don't think I'll be consistent enough,but let's try).Then I will go on to an angry birds workout(the one you can find in Steve's blog here). I am quitting soda cold turkey and just drinking water and green tea with honey.See if that sticks for three days,then get back on eating bacon and eggs for breakfast.Don't know what oil to use for them,though,cause sunflower oil definitely ain't healthy.After three days of that,make a lunch that at least doesn't have refined sugars in it.Three days too.I don't want to plan ahead too far,I'll just keep it simple and take it one step at a time(thanks for that,Steve). Reviewing will be done at 10pm,I'll write down to my journal everything I think needs attention,like experienced stress through the day,my nutrition,if I did my pushups,how much did I move around overall,things like that. And for the sleep part,I eat at no later than 10 pm.make sure I've done everything for the day and go to bed.Not necesarilly sleepy-that's okay,surf the net for a while 'till I get there,play a movie and just drift off(I know,not a good thing to do,but I'll get there later). And if I fail again,I will discharge from the Rebellion,because I won't feel like I deserve to be here no more and you guys won't need to be wasting your time on me.Not pessimistic,just stating facts.Being realistic here,really(heh). Any tips would be greatly aprreciated
