Day 56 and 57 Recap

I can't believe it has already been 2 days since my last post. Time really tends to whiz by when you are busy but it is even more interesting to notice how quickly the time passes when you are keeping track (i.e. someone doing a 90 day challenge).

Day 56 and 57 were both cardio routines via basketball. On Sunday night, it was the first regular season game of the Sunday night men's league in Orangeville where I live. It was a lot of fun but kind of disorganized. I did not have a team together this year so we ended up picking up some random players and forming a team. I guess one of the items on the to do list for this week is to recruit some players!

As for Day 57, after a long day of work I finally made some time for a workout at around 9pm. Once again I opted for cardio by working on my jump shot and doing some running and jumping drills at the basketball court. I plan to cut out some of the weight lifting for a while. My joints and a few muscles have been feeling the strain due to this 90 day challenge, so I am going to keep active in other ways.

One thing I am going to implement now that I am well over half way through this challenge is a more structured approach to the mental side. What I mean is that I want to apply some of the latest personal development ideas that I have been studying from John Assaraf. Particularly on the idea of food intake. The main idea with this challenge was fitness and healthy eating...and I have stuck to both for the most part. What I have been unsatisfied with is my food quantity. I have been overcompensating for all the exercise by eating more than I believe I need. I therefore feel like I might be hindering some of the physical results that I set out to achieve.

I think these eating habits were established through repetition many years ago and have become ingrained beyond the point of this 90 day challenge. What I plan to do to neutralize the over-eating situation is to focus on brain conditioning techniques described by John Assaraf. This will include meditations, personal affirmations, visualization techniques and a process called Neural reconditioning (which I will not explain in this post).

I am so thoroughly convinced that this will improve my results that I plan to use it for every area of my life so that I can teach and coach others on it. I think this could be a life transforming concept and I'm sure Mr.Assaraf would love partners out there spreading the word about his great teachings.

With that, I will sign off for the day with eager anticipation for the next leg of the journey
