A lot of the time, being with my kids is not exactly relaxing! Just kidding...kinda. But, once the 16 month old is put down for the night, my wife and I each read a story to the 4 yr old. I usually go first, and my spirited daughter settles down and cozies up under my arm. When my wife reads, I basically go to sleep for a few moments cuddled up. It is great. Especially after the witching hour of pre-dinner through dinner and bath right before stories/bed.Joel B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05341500741573909557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-955910955820173624.post-86659862620065349812010-07-09T16:21:33.331-06:002010-07-09T16:21:33.331-06:00When I want to destress I just have to sit down an...When I want to destress I just have to sit down and chat with my seventeen year old daughter.

I will not let any workout get in the way of a family event. Whether it be a concert, baseball game, etc. As Geoff told me, an extra day of rest at 39 isn't such a bad thing. As far as doubles/triples, I will try and knock one out before work or at lunch. When that isn't possible, I'll double them up in the afternoon while family is doing their workout. The thing is, if you know a workout is going to cut into family time, then I make sure I have something fun planned the rest of the day.<br /><br />I just signed the wife and kids up for a full year of unlimited sessions with colorado springs crossfit here in the springs. The owner is a good friend and just opened up a brand new facility here in town. The wife takes the kids and they have great instruction. I'm so excited to see their results mentally and physically over the next year. It allows me to focus on my workouts while they get the attention they need.

But each of those actions has negative long-term consequences. To raise blood sugar, cortisol accelerates protein breakdown and muscle wasting. High blood sugar spikes insulin levels and leads to central obesity (and related risks). Chronic immunosuppression increases the risk for infection (so does chronic high blood sugar -- yeast and bacteria eat sugar).<br /><br />That should explain a few of the effects on the chart, but cortisol has other actions: lowering testosterone, accelerating mineral loss from bones (osteoporosis risk), inhibiting collagen synthesis. It's also neurotoxic, which accounts for memory loss: high cortisol levels cause the hippocampus to lose volume. If you're still curious about pathological effects of cortisol, google "Cushing's Syndrome."

Have you figured out a strategy to fit doubles in (especially during the weekdays)? <br /><br />The last phase was tough for me in terms of volume. I could typically only get doubles in on the weekends, and even with that I had to compress the rest and do it all in the morning so that I could spend time with my family.<br /><br />I'd love to hear how people have managed that (i.e. whether they have a strategy for which ones to skip, how to make them up, etc.).<br /><br />Thanks!Stahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18122077720680298407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-955910955820173624.post-8435747834239324322010-07-09T11:33:42.908-06:002010-07-09T11:33:42.908-06:00Deep breathing for reducing stress.
