Day Twenty-two: "Catch"

There was only one catch and that was Catch-22, which specified that a concern for one's own safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate was the process of a rational mind...Yossarian was moved very deeply by the absolute simplicity of this clause of Catch-22 and let out a respectful whistle. "That's some catch, that catch-22," he observed.
"It's the best there is," Doc Daneeka agreed. [Heller, Catch-22]

Your significant other wants to be supportive of what you are doing. You are grateful for that. Your signficant other wants to cook for the two of you from time to time, and she is being sweet. You appreciate it and want to let her do that for you. Your significant other is not on the PCP, so it is difficult. What ends up being a gesture of goodwill ends up being a potential flashpoint. "Please only use a tiny drip of oil when you sautee the veggies, and instead use a bit of water to keep the veggies from burning."  You end up looking like an anal retentive, unappreciative jerk. Your significant other is making a very nice gesture and is being understanding, and you feel bad because you know that you are, in some way, suppressing her goodwill a little bit. You might even hope that she winds up reading this blog entry at some point so she knows you are sorry. But you are committed to doing this program the right way.

Anyone else experience a similar catch-22?

Week Three Photos. The workout today was good. The incline pull-ups I do on the treadmill have a lot of distance to cover so it is a good workout. I still don't have a good solution for pull-ups near my house so I did the inclines and I did 3 sets of 7 lat pull-downs with 40kgs as well. I continue to do the maximum amount of reps per set on every exercise, as I have from Day One, and now I add in about 50% more reps on the final set of each exercise, just to get that final burn. I also managed two jump rope sessions today, about 6 hours a part. 65.8kg (71.2kg start).

"Catch-22...says you've always got to do what your commanding officer tells you to."
"But Twenty-seventh Air Force says I can go home with forty missions."
"But they don't say you have to go home. And regulations do say you have to obey every order. That's the catch. Even if the colonel were disobeying a Twenty-seventh Air Force order by making you fly more missions, you'd still have to fly them, or you'd be guilty of disobeying an order of his. And then the Twenty-seventh Air Force Headquarters would really jump on you."

Who's YOUR commanding officer?
