Food Tastes Better Earned :
11/12/20
It’s been roughly one meal a day for about a week.
My training volume has been high, silly high at times.
It’s amazing how much a human is capable of.
Yesterday (veteran’s day) in what was basically a double session back to back, first from 6-8pm, then again from 9-11pm, I hit PR after PR, big numbers after big numbers.
I slept 3 to 3½ hours, trained again (easy session mind you), and was energetic all day.
I was pretty ravenous by the time I got home from the gym.
Now when you eat three squares a day, plus snack, you don’t understand the value of food.
Fasting teaches you.
You learn you can run without food on iv drip, and come to savor that evening meal.
I had been lazy, steaming two cups of rice, reading & writing while it cooked, then frying up chopped up hot dogs (the closest to use by date meat I had on hand) then feasting on it, and the portion of fried rice.
I don’t like hot dogs except when in a bun with a fixin. Normally.
When those eight hotdogs, a cup of rice (dry weight), some cheese, and two cups of both chocolate milk and apple cider is all you’re gonna get til tomorrow night…
Oh man do those franks taste good.
As you eat you’re thankful for every morsel, liking how putting weight overhead is getting easier and easier with the frequent training, and liking how you’re looking more muscular and leaner each and every day.
Earn your food – by physicality and fasting.
