Also also: Dude was clearly very much in favor of calorie restriction and while he hardly made eye contact with anyone during most of his talk he was looking intently at the heaviest member of our group (who probably didn't even fall into the obese category) while explaining that following his methods would lead people to feel less hungry and have fewer cravings. While he himself was skinny fat (very little muscle, little fat on his face and extremities but kind of a saggy little beer gut) and looked a lot older than he really was (2 years older than me). Which is fine: we all have our struggles and how we look is nowhere near the most important thing about us. But at the same time if you're a physical therapist by training and make a living teaching other people how to improve every aspect of their health (food, exercise, relaxation, happiness...) I expect you to look healthier than me.
I like that!
Feeling quite excited about it, if I´m honest. Was a bit scared of the cold morning shower (haven´t taken properly cold showers since moving in here because this bathroom just makes bathing more convenient) and did my breathing while still in my warm bed. Not sure if that´s allowed but it worked really well and I actually enjoyed the cold water. I knew I´d get back to liking it eventually but was happily surprised to have it be instantaneous. Got my food packed up and today I´ll try to focus on picking up more bits and pieces I can use in my own life rather than trying to discover a logical pattern in the good man´s stories. Hope that makes it less frustrating but if it doesn´t I still have my trusty note block for doodling.
Had bad cramps today and am exhausted but did get permission to use the treadmill as often as I want to see if it'll help fix my Achilles issues. Now to find times when the room it's in isn't in use when I happen to be free...
