Oct 15th #DDPaDay day 13/14/15 out of 31:
…and here we are very nearly into mid-October. I think this part of the year goes by fast o matter where I live because it’s the Halloween season and I enjoy it a lot. Out here we have had a bit more acceptance of ghosts and goblins than back in the UAE, but at some point I hope my daughter gets to experience Halloween—and the other holidays back in the States. That being said, I don’t know what celebrations in the States even look like now myself. The last time I visited over any kind of holiday was Christmas of 2010 just after my father passed away. Hard to believe we’ll be coming up on the tenth Christmas without him. Some of his health problems—I’d probably say most of them in fact—came from being a lifetime smoker. He too was overweight like I am, but you have to think that the smoking played the greatest role in his problems. That said, living to age 65 isn’t exactly young, but there are those who live longer and those who live shorter lives. My mom—who is still with us—should be celebrating her 76th birthday this coming November. She too has lived an unhealthy lifestyle both in terms of smoking, eating habits…and probably a little more drinking that she lets on, but she’s got nearly elven years and counting on Dad. It goes to show that lifespan isn’t something that we can predict. From my end I do want to live as healthy a life as I can so that I can stick around for my family. I really don’t want my daughter to have to bury me any earlier than she has to.
October 13 workouts:
Wake Up
Warm UP
Energy
Diamond Dozen
Fat Burner
Diet:
I didn’t do anything bad on the remainder of yesterday. Beer is something of a no-no, but again it’s just not a major concern for me
Diet Screw-ups….
Today I have had cookies and I tried a chocolate bar because it was hot-pepper and grapefruit flavored (?) That seemed to be a strange combo so it was worth a try. Still it’s too much junk food and if I don’t straighten out and fly right, I’m going to need to try the experiment over again in November. My wife and daughter will travel to the Philippines last week of OCT/first week of NOV which could help or hinder my experiences. The bottom line is that to get the most out of DDPY or any other exercise program, the diet must be reigned in. Eating what I shouldn’t does not negate the results from the workouts, but you cannot out exercise a bad diet no matter who you are. The process of rebuilding the body is a slow one and each time I falter in my dieting resolve it pushes me back from my goal. Owning it, typing it, publishing it, even if it is repetitive, will hopefully build my resistance to the poor choices that I make all too often—-even re-reading these things next month will show just how much I screwed up and how much “just one bite” of this or that adds up in a month.

It seems repetitive sometimes, but the beginner’s workout scheme doesn’t get into anything new until the middle of this week…
Diet:
No real screw-ups today. I ate at Subway Subs, so they aren’t exactly healthy. I’ve taken to eating any of my hamburgers without the buns—these are home cooked by the wife, if I fall and go to McDonald’s again, I usually eat bread and all. I eat big salads with steak in them whenever the wife feels like making them.
A challenge for my Monday’s is that I put in an absolutely insane day at work and will want to east something after I leave…I then almost immediately go to sleep—as I should given how late it is and how early the next day starts—which I’d really like to stop doing.

Diet:
nothing bad so far, but I do have one meal left to eat today.
I uploaded some pics to the DDPY Ap, but I haven’t translated those to the blog yet. I’m pretty flexible for a fat guy.
