IF today and feeling stronger...

Today is my IF day.  I am drinking my coffee with some CO in it (greasy) and am planning to have Tuna Boats at today's late lunch (around 1 or 2) and skip dinner. 

It's funny, in my fatty days, that was a normal day.  Too many only eat one meal a day, but it's the difference that is not understood.  Calories in/calories out is BullSh**.  I spent most of my teen years only eating once a day, and not only stayed fat, but got fatter. 

It's the nutritional value of the food.  Eating nutrient dense foods like fish and veggies, keeps you healthy and slim. 

Yesterday, I was very impressed with myself, and have bored my dear Colonel to death with the details, so I thought that I would bore everyone else too...

I am able to do a deep knee bend and jump out of it.  Not just once, but bunches of times!!!  I also found that I can do a "back" push up from the arm of the couch (you have your arms behind you), not just one, I did about 7. 

I spent all day yesterday chasing around protein, now I know why, I am gaining muscle!!!  I am getting stronger!!!  I am heading off to Level 10 Crossfit in two weeks for my free introductory assessment, and hopefully, be able to get into the Ramp Up class that starts January 7th.  With it being the New Year, there should be plenty of folks joining (at least 5 have sign up for the Ramp Up class).

Since I have spent my life fat and useless, I am wondering how "thin and healthy" people can lay around and not exercise.  I am still overweight, but I have all this energy.  Honestly, I was watching TV, but doing my deep knee jumps, push ups, and even spent 10 minutes stepping (using the "high" step), besides running around with the kids.  Our neighbor gave us a tire, that had a hole in the side, and no steel sticking out, so I taught the kids to play with it.  Getting in it and being rolled around (they didn't like being the rollie, but thoroughly enjoyed being the roller).  Rolling it and tossing a ball through it.  Jumping on it and just being kids!  Me too!  Loads of fun.  Playing hard.  Being strong.  So, with all this going on, how can those who are "physically fit" not be out and about, playing, running, and just being alive?  Maybe I will find out once the "healthy" high wears off.  Frankly, I hope it doesn't.  I have spent my life on the couch, where the most exercise I did was walking from the couch to the refrigerator.  Arm curls were bringing food to my mouth. 

A new day has dawned, and even though it's supposed to rain, there is still a world to conquer!
