TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 27
10:31am, my room in Alfert's Hostel
I just got back from skating around the city and picking up as much as I could from my list. I got the cash from the ATM, found some water and nuts at the supermarket, and I happened to skate past an old woman selling Santa hats like the one I bought the kids on Paris' land. No wreaths, though, so I'll try to make her one.
I don't have to look in the mirror to know I've lost weight. I can feel my pants are loose on my hips. All my fat, and some muscle, has melted away in the never-ending heat. I'm always sweating, but I don't mind it to be honest. I like being lean.
I still want to be strong, though, so I'm going to design a workout I can do in my room, something well-rounded, with simple strength-building exercises that only use my body weight.
My hotel workout routine:
-5 sun salutations
-25 in/out sit ups
-5 burpies
-25 crunches
-20 pushups
-25 wide leg sit ups
-20 pushups
-25 lat/side situps/each side
-20 pushups
-25 V-up/lift up leg pulse
-20 pushups
-50 V-sit hammer/side to side
-10 push ups
2x 1:30 wall squat
Total time: 30min
While I was working out, I began to think of some personal goals for myself.
Goals:
-Help people
-Organize financial life
-Live naturally
-Finish writing my next book Beyond Ataraxia
-Finish my book of poetry.
-Get a new contract for the summer of 2013 to coach
-Get a new US work visa (my current visa expires in May)
