Life in the military
Okay, well, a few things have happened. I joined the reg force army. I was a reservist before but I’ve gone reg force now. Non Smoking is a no go here with about 80% of the population smokers. I have ordered those Electronic cigarettes. If I cant stop having my nicotine, I’ll get it without the tobacco. It’s basically a nicotine inhaler with some cool simulations.
As for food, my move into the military quarters on the other side of canada from where I lived totally made me forget my routine. I mean it’s not that i even just lost motivation and dropped out. As of writing this today and checking out my old entries it’s like "oh ya, I was following a routine" So totally forgot.
Now on the other hand I was trying some new stuff out. I went vegetarian for 3 days. I’m still not to sure about the whole thing. It didn’t last long thats for sure. Tonight for supper I ate some chicken at the mess, and some greens ,with some chocolate milk and a little potato salad. It wasn’t a big meal for sure. And it was healthy. But I’m not to big on this vegitarian thing. Most of the guys here on bodybuilding.com will agree that they would never go vegatarian. It’s one of those things that everyone has good arguments for.
I think I’ll still eat meat, I’ll just watch that the majority of the food on my plate is vegatables and fruits vs the mean. Instead of a ton of meat and some veggies.
My workout routine is basically whatever the master jacks have me doing. Running, biking, swimming, ruck marches. I do alot of walking here on the base as well. It’s huge and I don’t have a car so if I have to get somewhere it’s usually on my feet.
We do have a gym here on the base, but it’s quite a walk away from me. And usually by the end of the day I’m pretty tired. BUt it’s really not a good excuse cause I could still use the extra exercise.
What I should do is jogg to the gym, then hit the weights and jog back afterwards. Or jogg to the gym, and then do some laps for extra cardio. But usually by the time I’m done getting all my stuff together for the next day I’m ready to go to bed so that I’m not up to late for the next day, which usually starts around 5:45-6:00 am.
I have some blisters on my feet. I bought some foot powder for my combat boots. And I’m going to start wearing the military issue combat socks more often. They are suppose to help keep blisters away. I wore regular socks for a few days and I think thats why I got the blisters.
