As a former journalist I have two favorite TV news programs which do a fantastic job gathering and presenting the facts. One is Frontline and the other is 60 Minutes.
That's why when 60 Minutes said they had a story about new research on sugar, I made sure I watched.
You guys should too. New research is showing that beyond weight gain, sugar can take a serious toll on your health, worsening conditions ranging from heart disease to cancer.
Watch it now or later but watch it. Promise me guys. Here's the link: http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=7403942n
Watch it? Good, now you can read my blog.
Been trying to be more careful eating, and also kicking it up a notch while training.
What's cool is I'm not super strict Paleo right now and still trimming down. It's good because this is a more reasonable way to eat, and easier to maintain. I've stayed away from ice cream, cakes and pies but sometimes I'll eat a piece of an apple from an apple pie. Just a little bit to get some sweetness and then walk away.
Not easy. But easier after I watched that 60 Minutes report. (Watch it yet? Just checking.)
As a result my workouts have been getting better. It's weird how that happens. You workout harder to improve your results and as a result you improve your workout. Hahahahaha. I'm a literary geek, sorry.
Today I was hoping to shred this workout: four rounds of 10 handstand push-ups, 10 pull-ups and 40 double unders.
I know I know. Frickin double unders. They're sooooooooooooooooo frustrating. Sometimes you have 'em and sometimes you don't.
BUT . . . I've got the pull-ups now. Cranking out 10 faster than the HSPU's even. Damn it.
Because it made it all the more frustrating. The fact that my HSPU's and pull-ups were getting done in less than two minutes but I WAS TAKING 3 MINUTES TO DO DOUBLE UNDERS. ARGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I managed to finally get them going for rounds 3 and 4, sort of. But then the HSPU's started failing. C'mon man, seriously?
Plus I got even more frustrated because some of our members like SHAUNA are frickin going off on DU's. She was going so fast today I thought she was going to hit 88 miles per hour and go back in time. MENTAL speed. Think she got a good score? Yeah.
I don't know what my time was. Not that I was that disgusted but I just had to leave right away. I'll look tomorrow.
Oh and one more thing, ever since Kehau left the music at the box has changed. More rock. Heard some AC/DC and Motley Crue today. Good stuff. We still miss you girl but it's nice to get some man music going now.
Shoots people, I'm out.
Later,
Rod
