I have started reading The Zone. Quite an interesting read. I am amazed that after eating "zone" for 9 months how little I truly understood. Sure I knew that if I ate 4 blocks of Carbs and 4 Blocks of protein and 4 Blocks of fats good stuff would happen. And it did. I have been very satisfied with the results. Both in fitness and body composition.

By reading this book I have been able to "understand" why and how the body reacts so well to this eating style. I have also been reacquainted with eating in the zone and how I get there. The book has provided me with the tools to continue to improve in my diet.

A couple of other points I would like to discuss. Sleep. I have made the commitment to be in bed by 2100hrs. Last night I was asleep by 2130hrs. I woke once at about 0230hrs when Parker was barking cuz Amy had returned home from work. Straight back to sleep. No tossing no turning. This morning I woke without the aid of an alarm clock. Just woke up and got out of bed ready to face the days challenges. Going to bed early had a couple of side benefits as well. It stopped from having the beer that I typically have after an army weekend. "Hey, Steve we are going to the Wit's for a beer after work. You in?" No thanks. And it stopped me from wanting to eat Peanut Butter. You see me and peanut butter have a special relationship. It sits in the cupboard waiting for me to go to the fridge and get the celery and then pile the PB on. Well not last night Motherf@#ker!
I guess the main thing is with this Cert coming at the end if the month I am feeling like I did back in Jan 07. I have a renewed sense of purpose, dedication, discipline, and eagerness.

P.S. Plan for not meeting my targets! Regular review of goals. If a day gets screwed up, don't stew over it. Recoginise the issues, learn from it, and get back to the plan. Be patient.
