Day 78 - evening of indulgence

Last night an old collegue was in from Oz and went out for some drinks and food at Blue Bar... The evening demoed how easy it is to fall back into bad habits

Menu:
- a few beer.. A few being 4 or 5... That's low vs my pre PCP drinking habits which would yave gone 8 or so... Stomach a was bloated after the drinks. Definitely need an alternate to beer when going out on the piss...
- 1 mini burger, some chicken wings, 1/3 steak sandwich
- other munchies...

Probably closer to 1500 calories than 1000

Was a nice evening, but kept thinking about the work I've put into getting into better shape and how I didn't want to revert back to my day 1 body. Gotta find some common ground between the old and the new... This can't be just everything in moderation... So back to my LONG email, that kicked up to Marcus's LONGER email.... Man I can't believe I've been told I'm communicating too much.... I was just getting use to this communication thing... I'm going back to being the strong silent type... Stronger silent type thanks to PCP...(haha)

I know im going to go off the rails... Work hard play harder... Makes life fun... I've never had any trouble training.. I've always going to the gym 4-6 days a week... And karate in addition... Training is part of my lifestyle... Karate/bujitsu is my lifestyle... OSU.. It's what brought me to Japan initially and what kept me there for 15 plus years... I got into PCP to get the eating, the 70-80% of my lifestyle I didn't have in order into order... I've managed to get it into order...now I need to keep it that way...

Martial arts is all about repitition... Drilling combinations, techniques, breathing habits until they become "second nature"' automatic, no thought, no mind... In Japanese 'MUSHIN' ... This is the part of 'bujitsu' that is lost in the West for the most part... Why I've alway been drawn back to Japan.
Simply... How do I get 'MUSHIN' into my eating habits!

Now my blogs will be back to 2-3 bullet points from now on...

  1. Communication is never a bad thing Brent. Have you seen my epic blog posts? You got nothing to worry about mate.

    I think we are all getting a little introspective today.
