Pulls up are harder than I thought. It's the only exercise I can't go beyond the suggested reps. But to be honest the biggest battle was trying to get the pull up bar stable. The first time I got it up on my door frame I tried to start the pull ups and I instantly fell to the ground with the pull up bar. I didn't get hurt or anything so I laughed a little and declared war against the bar. The second time I got the bar up there I used all my might and assumed it was secure. I did one rep and then the bar slowly sliding down the door frame with me. Again I thought it was funny, but the war wasn't over. Time to get the tools out. I basically tightened the bar until the wood started to crack and it still wasn't on there as steady as I needed. After awhile I got it on there so tight that this whole building would have to fall before the bar does. I wish I got video of the whole thing.
In terms of the eating I never knew how much salt I used before. I put salt on everything, and thought that it was healthy because it was sea salt. I could put a bunch of salt on my hand and be like, "Wow, that's some good hand." I feel like that's been the biggest thing for me, and since I haven't used salt I feel like my body is working well without it. Since I feel better I don't really think I'll jump on the salt train after the whole project is done. I wanted something sweet yesterday, but then I had the fruit course of kiwis and it worked to take that craving away.
I randomly opened my freezer and found a box full of salmon that my dad gave me a couple of months ago- score! I also found a curry mix that doesn't have any salt in it and spiced up the chicken I got real nice like.
yum to box of salmon! with some cous cous, some rucula (/rocket) and some tomatoes, peppers etc, you have yourself the PCP lunch of champions.
ReplyDeleteits amazing what will begin to delight you on the PCP journey......very very simple things. PCP geekness hits you hard!
well done for taking on the pull up bar. im still lacking......
What have you got, a tension bar? Those things need some screws man.
ReplyDeleteYeah man, screws. Leaves a couple holes in the wall, but nothing some wall putty won't fix. I miss salt allot,sugar though is my poison...blessed sweet sugar..
ReplyDeletefight the good fight,

The salt thing definitely gets easier. "Normal" food tastes crazy salty to me now. (And I never thought I used much either.) Spices are your friends!
