<\/p>\nThis is going to be a crazy experiment, but only crazy if you actually know me, so let me explain.\u00a0 I work well with a map and a plan.\u00a0 I need goals, deadlines, and projections.\u00a0 I just can’t get fired up with ambiguity in the air.\u00a0 I need to know what to do, when to do it, and will optimize my plan for maximum success with minimal effort.\u00a0 I get my rocks off on efficiency.\u00a0 This is serious business for me.<\/p>\n
I have been told I have a good intuition.\u00a0 However, the fact that I didn’t really know if I did or not before that probably says something about how often I use it, though.\u00a0 I form an opinion, I check my data, and generally, yeah, I’m right, but I fear moving forward until I am sure.\u00a0 I make sure my footing is stable before I leap.\u00a0 I am totally not this guy, though I share a lot of his ideals.\u00a0 I just like my spontaneity a little more – planned, I guess?<\/p>\n

Why am I driving this point home over and over?\u00a0 Well, I’m doing something very out of character for me this month – intuitive eating and exercising.\u00a0 Whereas pretty much everyone in the world besides us calorie counting diet-y freaks live this way, not writing down what I eat scares the crap outta me.\u00a0 Not knowing exactly what I am going to do at the gym tomorrow is terrifying.\u00a0 But, someday I am going to have to learn how because I don’t want to track every little thing I eat and do for the rest of my life, and I’m really curious to see what I pick to do if I let myself do whatever workouts I want.<\/p>\n
Specifically?\u00a0 The general plan is to:<\/p>\n
Wish me luck on my new approach!\u00a0 I fully expect to be running and crying back to my tracking and structured workouts come December, but it will be an interesting experiement.<\/p>\n
