Like the great Sol Regem, I too have lost my vigour, my visual senses dulled, and my wings in tatters… but in my case, I can restore myself as he could not!
To do this, I have signed up with Crackle & Pop Fitness, and recently I am reminded of the power that lies dormant within. Earlier, at my latest training session, I experienced immense glee as I was reminded of the power in my youth, and have been even further motivated to continue, if not just for the System Goals.
My current goals are simple, and that is to spend the bulk of my time training my cardio and flexibility, which would allow me to use more of my strength (see Classical Kung Fu Model). I have less that 2 weeks until the Cataclysm, and while the rain may affect how I execute that, it wouldn’t hurt my plans to cut down as much weight as I can within the next 10 days. Hmmm, is it only 10 days?! I must try to do better but without becoming anxious about it.
Admittedly, I set myself back a little with KFC today, but then again, I do need the raw energy in some sense. However, cutting weight is one of the best ways for me to track the metrics, as I currently weight 100kgs, which is definitely higher than my old weight of around the mid 90s. I think that if I can cut down to 89kg, I will have my visible abs, and then I can switch my focus to kung fu training for 3rd Disciple, who will visit after The Cataclysm Event for 1st Disciple.
Do I feel like I am carrying an extra couple of kilos? Oh yeah, you bet I do, though I am mitigating it somewhat. Most of my friends are now reaching that mid life decline, so I should try to motivate a better example by becoming an example. I think that poor 1st Disciple is rather anxious about it, so of course I need to at least show some solidarity. Due to a twist of irony, I only need a few sessions to achieve a body close to what he desires, so if I put in more effort, would I also achieve the impossible [for him]? I think that it’s not about the number of exercises, but the amount I feel necessary when I am performing.
A hidden positive aspect is that the fatigue is improving my sleep, so I am grateful for that. Body feels warm, probably due to metabolism from earlier KFC, so I am a little drowsy but otherwise quite content.
Here is an unrelated meme.
