Tough times create strong men while easy times create weak men. My college years were rough but interestingly enough, I was probably the healthiest I’d been my entire life. The past decade has been easy to some degree; I’ve had a good job/career and putting food on the table and roof over my head was not much of a struggle. Yes, I have new problems but I guess you can say they are rather shallow. Last night I was complaining about how the magazines in my new gun only hold 7 bullets instead of 10, and so in 1 click of a mouse, I had purchased 4 new magazines with 10-round capacity. I was disappointed about the fact that the laser/light sight mounted on my gun was only 800 lumens instead of 1000… shallow stuff!
I’ve got to start roughing it and toughen up because I’ve become too soft. I eat too much because I can. I eat the wrong stuff because I can. And for some reason, when I do eat the right stuff and right amount, something in my head is not satisfied and I become obsessed with eating more, and more of the bad stuff.
So today I’m going to suffer a little. I’m going to limit my calories between 2000 and 2300. I’ve done it in the past but for only a streak of a few days. In addition to limiting calories, I’m going to eliminate my junk food intake. I love snacking on chips and chocolate at work; you want to talk ‘too easy’, there’s always a constant supply of chips and snacks at work and the folks who bring them are more than generous!
Time to get to work. Gonna prepare today’s food and hit the morning workout. Lets see how today goes.
