This ideal is harder to apply than most things in life, and I'm not talking about my dietary plans entirely.
On the good side, I'm down to 180 lbs. and that is without turning a pedal the last 6 days. Simply monitoring how much I'm feeding the growler each day is making a dramatic difference. I've made very small changes to my daily meals and it has not really affected my energy levels. I miss feeling more full after eating but being able to function is key here. When the growling beast demands sustenance or else it will begin eating the meat off my back-bone, I notice a decrease in mental sharpness and that's not good when you're trying to teach any subject matter. I've been eating Kashi snack bars for my mid-morning hunger killer, and they have been doing the job nicely. They actually keep me from feeling hungry at lunch, but since it is my biggest meal of the day I eat as I should. I just don't "biggie size" my portions. I like eating..........I'm good at it, but power-to-weight ratio is the goal here.
On a different note, not cycling has brought out Type-A raised to the 1oth in me lately. Dr. Jeckyll would be proud that Mr. Hyde has not yet shown himself, but some people just drive me over the edge more easily than most.
It's the "cliff diving champions from the shallow end of the gene pool" that really make me feel warm all over. I guess some folks are just meant to live with dain bramage and Forest Gump through life oblivious to certain things. Hell............I may be doing the same...........who knows.If it stands to reason that it's better to hold your tongue and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt, I guess this is as far as I'll go bitching about the little things in life than won't matter in the grand scheme of things.
I guess it may be true that if you look around and everyone else seems normal, you're the one who's screwed up..................uhmmmmm.............. oh sh...............
