If you eat well and work well, that is the important thing.<br /><br />Keep at it....Faizal S.

You always give such wonderful insight. Th...Faizal,<br />You always give such wonderful insight. Thank you. I have missed the hullaballu on the forum but it doesn't surprise me any. I just wish people could realize that there is NO black and white. Life is a rainbow of gray, and if we can recognize that and learn what we can without hubris regarding our own "camp"of thought, we will only be the wiser for it. UGH!<br /><br />I didn't recert at the FMS. I'll do that in October and between now and then focus on snatching and my other fitness goals. While I'm not going to run willy-nilly through the streets eating all things not nailed down (though that sounds damn fun), I just can't focus on weight loss right now. I don't have the emotional reserve to get my hopes up that I might actually look fit and slim by then. I have gotten those hopes up WAY too many times only to feel like a horrible failure when I didn't meet them. For now, I'm just going to eat well and work well. I am what I am, and I have to accept that.<br /><br />I'll be keeping you up-to-date, though. Thanks againJenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17077930691017238101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-80882950993146128.post-48855705918782183452010-06-02T01:08:05.656-04:002010-06-02T01:08:05.656-04:00Jen, Thanks for finally posting about your experie...Jen, Thanks for finally posting about your experience. That is great perspective. I think there has been a lot of Gym Movement/Z-Health my non-RKC stuff is better than your non-RKC stuff going around. There was a big stink about it in the RKC forum.<br /><br />Diana, yes the RKC is hard, but it is not the hardest thing you will ever do, or at least it shouldn't be. You don't have to be elite, but you have to put your time in with the bells. I know some HKCs who failed the RKC, and the reason they failed is that they were arrogant and unprepared. Don't let the HKC give you a false sense of security, it is a who different ball game.<br /><br />Jen, re: the weight, cheat meals are a bitch. You allowed 2/week - and you basically got 7. Also, you have been flying, give your weight time to normalize. I don't really do a ton of this work with clients, but you have to treat cheat meals like time off from work. You have to earn them, and you can't get it back if you use it. A couple of my clients try to negotiate with me on this, but I don't control fat loss, thermodynamics does.<br /><br />Also, you have to get mileage out of your cheat meals -- I mean really enjoy them. If you have more than 1 in a weekend, you can't really enjoy it. You would be better of spreading out your cheat meals then getting them all in one weekend.<br /><br />That being said, don't even think about giving up. You are right that it is hard, and not really fair, but you can't give up. Just remember, you have an RKC coming up in Oct. and you want to represent -- you have 4 1/2 months left. Did you recert at the CK-FMS?<br /><br />I would recommend not focusing on the weight and focusing on your snatch test? That will get you where you want to go.Faizal S.

I totally recognize the background in the restuarant photo! I'll be back there again in 3 weeks. <br />I, too, had Brett Jones for my HKC instructor at the first one held in St. Paul last October. <br /><br />"the long, grueling workouts and constant physical punishment".......<br />GEE, as if I wasn't getting nervous before for the RKC, then I read that line!<br />My nerves and anxiety level are reaching the danger zone!<br /><br />Thanks for your awesome comment to my blog-I will email you.<br /><br />In regards to having SO many fitness goals, I agree....I tend to have that same feeling, however, over many months of learning the "hard" way. I find that this phrase keeps me in line:<br />"When you chase 2 rabbits, they both get away"<br /><br />So true, when I try to mix either training for kb's or a triathlon at the same time. Granted the bells got me to where I need to be, but there is a line. I was kind of chasing those 2 rabbits with that 1/2 marathon. It's been 95% bells for the RKC, and now since race is over, it's been 110% bells. As soon as the RKC is over, it's back to training for another 1/2 marathon in August. One rabbit at a time!Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12677754284276322596noreply@blogger.com
