workout - Lent - giving up something
Song of the day: "Burn MF" FFDP
mood: determined
Today Is ASH Wednesday. I am not going into the history of Lent. Either you are Catholic or you practice Lent as part of Passover or you don't. Lent last 40 days.
For Lent I am giving up Espresso. I drink Espresso instead of normal coffee. I have committed to giving up Espresso for Lent. I will most likely include regular coffee in this. Not sure yet.
I plan to pray a lot.
I plan to use Ken Shamrock's profit101.net
Every time I want a coffee... I am going to workout. This worked to quit smoking (working out not profit). I think giving up coffee will be harder than giving up smoking. Why? It is my last crutch and my longest lasting bad habit.
Here is how committed I am. I wanted coffee after dinner. I pulled up profit101.net and did straight leg crunches (episode 79). I did not have anyone to hold my legs, so I strapped them to the back of dinning room chair (that I weighted down the chair bottom first) and used my 5 pound ankle weights to strap my ankles to the chair. Not a perfect fix but it worked for me for the exercise that called for two people. I did 2 sets of 30 straight leg crunches. Suddenly I really did not want the coffee anymore.
I wanted water. I drank some water (warm water slowly! I'd have drank Ken's Shamrock Slam but I am waiting for an answer as to where to get this product!). I returned and did one more set of 30. I drank serving of whey protein drink (because I did work the muscles... and chocolate... duh) mixed with water and fresh juiced spinach. Don't knock it. Fresh spinach juice is awesome!
