Max Atlas Year of Change Day Eleven
I took my kids out to play this afternoon, and man, was it a night and day difference from just a few weeks ago. While I can’t say that my cardiovascular fitness has improved drastically, I no longer feel so short of breath after just a few minutes of light activity. Pretty soon, they’ll be the ones chasing me around!
Moving swiftly on, if my extreme soreness was any indicator, the day before yesterday was by far my hardest day of lifting yet. I found it really hard to lift my arms to do any basic movements, let alone exercise. Luckily, I invested in a foam roller (a sort of handheld massager that you roll over sore muscles), and that seems to be helping a lot. A cold shower at the end of the day usually does the trick just as well. I won’t be taking any pain relievers this time.

When I compare day 11 with day 0 of this year of change, I think I can see some difference.
On another note, I was surprised that I didn’t have any particular cravings today. Not while I was at work, not as I was driving through town, and not even when I’m at my hungriest right before dinner–I was just totally in the zone as far as dieting goes. Could it be that I’ve completely transitioned into a life of healthy eating? Probably not. In fact, I might not ever get to a point where I can go completely without comfort food, but it sure does feel good to not have to fight off temptation, even if just for a day.

Quote of the Day
If you are pained by any external thing, it is not this thing that disturbs you, but your own judgment about it. And it is in your power to wipe out this judgment now.

Day 11 of the Year of Change Wrap Up
To wrap up day 11 is easy, by changing the way I am seeing the world and not making excuses each day is getting a little less laborious and I am seeing the pleasure in small things. Also loving what I can control and what is out of my control, helps break down if I need to do something or not, very easy, also reduces making other peoples problems my own. Physically I am feeling good
