SoF Vs. The Impossible
Ok, so it is rather only for the dedicated...
Since I am not one to mix words, I have started to formulate the BFL session 2. Since BFL session 2 is about taking on the impossible, there is that inner voice of the Ego going to me:
"If you take on the impossible for challange 2 what will you do next?" I have to reply with the ever scientific "Shut Up". Then the logic kicks in, and I think about this. When this is done, I will know if I am heading off towards BFL Challange 3 or BFL Challange X. While I am not a pessimist, I am a very realistic person. I am a planner now, thanks to Gettinfit. (I also think that I will be taking after her in a sense, more on that later).
So what is this challange. I have been doing my research, and I have been looking into a way to transisition, and tweak my diets. I have found a 12 week diet program that is 6 meals, and 12 weeks of meals planned. It fits in perfectly with the BFL workout routines, that I have been following (and also tweaking). As all of you know, I have been on a body building version of this program, and I am going to keep that up. Adding in something completely different.
I do not want much, Just the best of many worlds.
1) Body builiding/ Endurance sports: I want to keep up the lifting, though I am going into a cycling training for the heartland Aids Ride, I do not think that i will be able to do it this year, as it happens in a couple of weeks, though I am looking to do it next year. Training will include rides to work where I my car is not in the shop. Yeah. The body fat ratios are similiar, though the training will vary depending on what events I have comming up.
2) Bodybuilding/ Endurance Sports and the big one: Veganism. Yes, Veganism. I am not a big dairy person, I am not big on eggs, though I will eat them if they are around, I have given up meat before, and I have done this before (though mostly I ate pasta). I will keep this up with the No Soy and Wheat as well. The meal plans I am in the process of sampling, and I have until the end of June to "Dry" out.
I am looking forward to this, I have been for a while now, since I started reading a new book. It is about plant based nutrition. Lastly, I have a friend on this. Glory has offered to do the 12 weeks with me. We are starting up the new BFLs the first week of July.
New goals;
Complete Both the veganism and the new BFL challange.
Actually track what I am lifting, I have been just going by feel, which is great for me, because I do not get distracted and I can actually focus on my workout. I would like to start keeping a Program journal, what I ate, what I worked out, any changes that occured.
Get out and ride for goodness sake, it is great out there, and I have been able to ride the past few days. I am looking to ride as many days as I can. On my days off, those will be my long ride days. (15 miles).
Continue to help as many people along the way as I can.
There you go, goals for the next challange, there will be more depending on how I modify the plan, though for now, those will work. I will be radio silent for parts of the summer, so i will only be checking out the site when I make the time to, it is just too pretty to sit in front of a computer.
Funny story of the post: So a while ago, I was at a diner, and all the servers were wearing these great big green buttons with white lettering saying "We're #2." I had to ask what was up with the button. The server tells me because you (i.e. the customer) are #1. I start laughing, and tell her that not only do the let the servers know what they think of them, they advertise it for everyone else to see. The server said it was crappy, though they had in internal joke about telling customers to "piss off" by telling them about the you're #1 promotion.
Song of the Post:
So, I have been listening to Deep Blue still, so I will be recommending Thomas Datt 2v2, it is great listening, and at 9 mins, it makes workout time go by quicker.
Have a great summer, enjoy the warmer weather.
