FORM, EFFORT EQUALS RESULTS

Today(Tuesday) I awoke earlier than normal. Perhaps it was when I tried to turn over and my sore stiff body groaned at the inconvenience of movement. I must admit that age and inactivity have taken a toil, however; I am stoked at how fast these kettlebell workouts are quickly pointing out my weakness' and strengths. I am quickly understanding( I have no choice the kettlebell MAKES ME!) to apply the form and let the kettlebell exercise take control and do the work. I apply the effort the kettlebell supplies the results and quickly I might add
THIS WAS DONE YESTERDAY!!
The Workout:
1 Armed swings 4/10 Swithched R to L No rest
1 legged dead lift 4/5
Tactical lunge 4/5
Bottom up Clean 5/8 R then L; I played around with a variation on last set of 1; R then a swing to change hands then L then a small swing to change hands.
Floor Sweep 4/20; I added a variation that felt good in upper abs; from bell position above chest after sweep, extend bell with straight arms to floor above head, lightly touch floor and bring approx 12 in up then back to floor and repeated 20
Windmill 4/20
Omited: Tight rope press Didnt know how to do it!
DIET:
3 cups coffee
3 eggs small slice mozzerella cheese
1 cup oatmeal after w/out
5 dried apricots
Chick Filet #1 with cole slaw and tea. Did NOT eat the bread and ONLY ate half. Portion control
1 1/2 hrs later ate the rest
Fried scallops(no breading) with french cut green beans( garlic, dab real butter, salt ) fresh grated parmessan and 1 /2 glass of Chardonnay wine
Just before bed: small bowl of fiber cereal w/organic milk. I get hungry just before bed.
What my body is feeling:
I am stiff from knees to chest. Especially in hip area from front to back. Its a sore, stiff, tight GOOD feeling that encourages me.
THOUGHT:
Its no wonder that our society as a whole has become looked upon as the fattest country in the world. We are the most overfed undernourished society in the world!! 20 years ago an average women or man was at least 25 % lighter than today. And those people cant understand why the opposite sex is not initially attracted to them. We are carnal people by nature. We have an innate idea of what attractive is. I DONT believe our society has created this vision; we have it already. In the wild, the fittest and the strong survive. We, as animals/people ARE NO DIFFERENT!
Aside from looks; we are also the most unhealthy as well. At what point did we forget that eating properly was not necessary? We go to great lengths to make our animals healthy!! Why not ourselves???
Ive had this discussion with several of my friends. One is a very attractive women yet is 30lbs overweight and cannot understand why she not sought after by men. She's successful, smart, fun, agreeable and miserable. But she ignores the solution. Funny how our physical bodies also play a part in our mental happiness yet we place blame on everything but that which is the root, ourselves.

I have also had to look inward and do some soul searching. I am out of shape, overweight and at one point IGNORED THE FACTS. Be honest with yourself. MOST people will NOT. And dont count on your friends. Ive been honest with myself. I need to lose weight be healthier and eat better, exercise more effectively/regularly. Add suppliments to help complete the balance of good health. Im on my way
Its ALL about balance.
How about you?
