I want to start an annual routine called Liftober. During the month of October, you do a full body workout three times a week, or at least a one hour weight training workout every 48 hours, and on the days you don’t weight train, you do an hour of cardio. I read something recently that said one hour of weight training burns more calories than one hour of cardio. That’s what made me think of this.

I’ve been paying more attention to my cardio and diet the past few months, so I needed something to get me back into my weight training workouts.

I ordered a pizza from the take and bake place, and only ate a quarter of a large pizza, and saved the rest for the next day. The next morning, I ate half the pizza and felt weird. It wasn’t a sickness like a cold or the flu, it was more like a cardiovascular thing. I decided to throw the last quarter of the pizza away. This motivated me to want to stay away from junk foods and fast food.

I decided to plan my budget for early October, and I’m getting a 24 pack of 8 ounce chocolate milks for after my weight training workouts. They say a simple carbohydrate is best for after weight training. I’ll have to skip buying the cheese I usually buy, and that will work out better for my health. The lesser of two evils, as they say.
