Mutant Diet Phase 12 Day 15
There’s enough negative stuff in the world so I’ll start with something positive. Last night, unexpectedly, I noticed an improvement in my yoga ability due to have less lard in various places on my body. The reason for “unexpectedly” is that I was feeling stressed out before yoga class and my intention for the class was “not to freak out.” Therefore I was expecting more resistance in the body. Considering this was only two weeks into a post-Christmas period, and only the third 75-minute yoga class of the New Year, it’s a bigger change than I’ve noticed in the past. Furthermore, the weekend’s eating was hardly on plan.
Of course, the one completely predictable feature of my diet/fitness journey is how weird it is. It feels like I’ve changed something in the body to somehow convince it that it’s safe to use stored reserves to fuel the body. In the past, and I’m sure if I waded through all the diet sheets, I’d see less progress with the same calorie in/out difference.
What changed? Not sure but I have to keep this feeling in mind because in a couple of hours my head is going to go stupid and want to go off the plan. I need to chill out and work this through to mid-March and then properly assess where I am.
Note to self: don’t try to recover from a cheat day by starving yourself until lunch. It’s a rookie mistake.
