Woke up incredibly early today, and I think it has to do with the fact that last night was my first "serious" day at the gym. Went with a friend and worked the chest and back, enough so that getting out of the office chair today is a reminder of how much.
Can't say enough how helpful it is going to the gym with a friend either. Not just for encouragement of one another but also just being able to have a conversation while warming up or being on the treadmill really makes it seem less like something you don't want to do. I've scheduled going to the gym with friends before but usually just as a, "see you there" sort of meaning more than an actual, "let's work out together" manner.
Beyond that been staying fairly on track with my diet while I've been in town, being on the road and traveling though has been a bit of a battle. Especially because I hate flying. Being well over 6' tall no airplane seat is ever comfortable and honestly flying on a very full stomach is comforting. It sounds bad but I've realized eating in excess (at least in my case) is/was about much more than loving food, and was also about compensating or trying to feel differently about something. It's bad I know, but there are distinct times I can remember when I would eat so much it would hurt, and that hurt would take my mind off of something else. Cureently trying to fill that void with something other than food, I've turned in part to video games and some kind of healthy beverage, like a juice or just water. It may not make me feel better necessarily but at least it beats downing pizza slices like they were h'orderves.
Day 15...
