More Disclipline

I havent been posting because I have just been doing the workouts in the morning, 3-4 times weekly, and nothing really to say except that as my body gets used to them, I have to do more reps, go faster, or add more routines to the morning workout. I try to stay mindful that form is still the most important factor after heartrate and duration, not number of reps.

In addition to the problem of calorie intake discipline (not a diet, but when and how well balanced the meals are), I have discovered a new problem to overcome.  I still have weak knees.  They have always been underdeveloped, but now I have to be extra careful when doing squats and other exercises, not to strain them and cause injury.  This is probably why I was always a better swimmer and lousy runner! 

This condition annoys me greatly, and I have decided that the only solution is to overcome it by strengthening my knees over a long period of time.  I dont think there is any other way to deal with the situation effectively... because I am surely not going to avoid a whole category of exercises just because of my knees!

Discipline

I had an enjoyable workout this morning; it is much easier to do your routine when you are fully rested and eager for the day to begin.

I realized this morning that getting up in the mornings and doing my routine faithfully is not nearly as challenging as the discipline of eating good food, and doing so on time.  Last night, when I got home from work, I eat some baked beans, and that was it.  I was too lazy to cook a proper meal, and have been far too lazy to prepare meals in advance.

Half of my personal transformation is burning calories; the other half is taking them in properly.
