Today i've tentatively started a squidgy version of the Green Faces diet. In reality i want to treat it like an exclusion diet for ruling out food allergies. i want to see how i feel after cutting out the soy, legumes, grains and dairy. And ETOH. This is all going to be tricky. i went to Sam's yesterday and bought a bunch of meat. That was repulsive. i had this cart full of sundry beast parts...gack! i actually got a li'l nauseous. i went to the veg section finally, and it was like HappyLand. But dude: sausage, several packs of steak, turkey burger, hamburger, fish, cold cuts--so many dead things just to feed li'l me. And with no cheese or bread. But so far it's going ok. Had an omelette with spinach, sausage, and bell pepper this morning. Big salad with jalapeno, more green peppers, broccoli, avocado and turkey meatballs, with oil and vinegar. And a pear while i climbed. pretty tasty.
Speaking of climbing, it's a little bit hard for me to believe i have deconditioned that far in a month or so. i did a nice warmup, cranked out 20 solid pullups, stretched, and actually fell off of a couple of v2s. It was like i was trying to climb with my high-school hands. my brain knew how to do the climbs, and scoffed a li'l in disdain; but my wuss-bag fingers opened up on some big crap. Totally ridiculous.
Anyhow, it lit a fire under my butt. i was kinda' non-committal about this diet this morning ('specially since i still have half a bottle of scotch and a few beers in the fridge), but now it's on. i'm gonna try to go run tonight a bit. And i want to get in to the irongym. It's been--what?--5, 6 weeks since i've worked my back now. That might'a' had something to do with my showing on the plastic today. i will lose 20lbs.
Ooo, and lookey there: here come the UPS dude with m' Optimus Primes freshly resoled with Vibram XS grip 5mm on. Nothin' like shelling out a bunch of loan money on toys to motivate a brotha'.

Yesterday Tack-on
Managed to go to ye olde irongym yester's evening. i have lost some serious recruitment. i can say it went better than i expected. Pretty much did half of my normal set progression on everything. Partly i just didn't have it, and partly i wanted to be healed enough to get the workout in again this weekend. i'm hoping to go in for chest/shoulders this afternoon sometime.

I love toys. Finally broke down a couple of days ago and baught myself an Inzer belt. I've been trying to do it for over a year. Every time I've sat down to buy the thing I get cheap. But my old blue THS is starting to crack and the roller wheel thingy is a bent and jacked. Never thought I'd wear out a lifting belt, but I guess that's what happens when your gut far exceeds the size it was made for. Keep me posted on that diet.
Sweet. i was thinking of giving you mine, but i hesitated cuz i do try to lift heavy once in a while. But i think you deserve a new belt.
