Ass-Kickin' and Name-Takin'? Not So MuchPlus: Sugasm 133

We interrupt your regular programming to bring you a break for yo' blogger's ass. Yep. Life served me notice to take a breather and I'm not ignoring the signs now. My left knee's being silly, so it needs a break, and my wrist could use another couple days' healing.

Yesterday is the first day I've had less than 30 minutes of activity in a day for a couple weeks now. Today will be a slack day. Tomorrow maybe more of the same, but we'll see how it shakes down.

As for weighing myself, screw that! I'll wait until I'm feeling like I'm accomplishing things again. See, if I weigh myself now and I've lost weight, I'll think I can keep taking it relatively easy like I have been.

I mean, doing 30 minutes activity a day is a lot easier than cycling 100 kilometres and lifting weights 100 minutes a week, okay? Walkin', climbin' some stairs, a little yoga, a little Pilates... Much easier on the body than three consecutive 100/100 weeks of ass-kicking! (And several weeks of build-up towards that.) So, yeah, it feels like I've had it easy of late.

And having success when it's easy is sometimes psychically permissive towards copping out because you can start to think "Yeah, I got it now, baby, this shit's easy", and you get too comfortable.

Every time I have that happen, I go off the rails a little. So now I just won't weigh myself. 'Course, if I'm failing and not losing weight right now, well, tough. I'm getting the fuck by and living a better lifestyle than I used to, and that's the whole point of this. Losing weight's the icing on the cake, and I know this phase'll pass and I'll be back in ass-kickin'/name-takin' mode, and it'll all work again.

Either way, not weighing myself keeps me from straying too far from my routine. We do what we gotta do to get through.
