The idiot box gets me again

I had a good weekend of exercise. My food was fairly good but I am finding my television addiction is harder to break than I would like to admit. I have so many other things to do but somehow I just let that idiot box hypnotize me. I know I should just cancel my cable service or better yet, just throw the darn thing out the window but I just can’t seem to bring myself to do it. I do know one thing, though, and that is I have no right to piss and moan about my weight if I sit and watch television every night. I know that is my biggest problem and if I really want to be thin more than I want to watch television then I’ll just stop watching it. I have to remind myself of that when I get home from work and I am tired. I can read a mindless book just as easily as I can watch television. Plus, I think I am in the habit of thinking I am tired when I get home from work but if I start doing a project of some kind I will find that I was not tired at all. It’s all about habits and changing the routine.

So, my weekend workouts. I worked out with my trainer Saturday morning. It was a good session. We are starting to train for the RKC II certification. We worked on the pistol. We practiced on a stool but I got some good pointers on practicing the movements. We did some Renegade Rows with 12k bells and pushups in between every two rows. I also laddered some presses with the 16k. I threw the bell around a little that afternoon as well. The juggling really is my favorite.

Yesterday I went for a nice bike ride. I did a little over five miles to my friend’s house. She cooked a very nice healthy lunch. After lunch I rode about another 23 miles around Cherry Creek Reservoir. It was a nice ride but there were a lot of people out. I have to find some less traveled routes on the weekends because the Cherry Creek Trail gets dangerous with so many people doing a variety of activities and most are oblivious to their surroundings.

This morning I did a kettlebell workout after the Z Health Neural Warm-Up II. I worked on the pistols and renegade rows. I also did some presses with the 20k which is what I will probably have to test with at the RKCII (I doubt seriously I will get below 158 and I will jump off a bridge if I weigh over 194 for the certification). I threw the bell outside for about twenty minutes.
