Caught up with old friends

I was able to have dinner, cigars, and a beer with Mike So and Mike logarta. Its been a while, nearly 10 years for Milo and me, and about 14 years since Mike So and me. So a lot of interesting things were shared and de-classified. Of course I cannot name names or give more details, but what I can say is that It gave a bit of a closure. The night of drinking began with recapping, Mike was very good in remembering all the topics we wanted to visit through out the night. Personally I would have written it down except that my pen broke and spilled ink on my pocket. It would have been weirder puting it all in a note 2. So we got to find out much of the history of the Malate Org and Milo highlighted a lot of the structure I failed to see since I was being "Handled". Many things were happening while I was in a Haze of my Vice then, and I was so easy to manipulate it has lead to many of my skepticism and scrutiny habits of present. I also got to bury the hatchet with what hap

Running update

36 minutes 5km star trac 5.45 Nike 5.40 fitbit Left shin feeling it. Run pose not good. I'm at 168 this morning. Hopefully I stay within 171 with the water intake. I realize I have to blog about last Saturdays drinking session before I forget. Sleep has been bad lately, well it's always been bad but now I'm able to track how bad.

Running update

31 minutes, 5km on Nike and fitbit, 4.20km on star Trac. Nike was being buggy. I should have reset. It.

Upper Body Update

Hip up Dips 20, 20, 20, 20, 20 Pushups on incline 20, 20, 20, 20, 20 i gave myself 2 minutes alarm (not that I can keep consistent) and did it all in record time. Typically it takes me an hour and a half but now just an hour. Thats an average of 6 minutes of rest in between. Working towards that ideal that I do all the physical in 30 minutes keeping to the 2 minute rest period. In between jumping jacks, but will replace it with Jump rope once I find it in the house. Downloaded some Kali practice videos with heavy bag. I need to find a way to alternate heavy bag as I bring up my strength and endurance so they will just light exercise to the more intensive. A long way to go. My sleeping is slowly improving.

Running update

34 minutes 5.4km nike 4.14 star trac 5.08 fitbit. Knees feel weak. Can't remember which Ankle acted up last Friday. It didn't act up today. Averaged about 7.0kph on the treadmill. Early, only had 70 cal of oatmeal mixed with some milk. Using sleep as Android these days trying to figure out how to make it sync with fitbit

Running update

33 minutes 4.15km star Trac, 5.05 fit bit, 5.45km Nike. Didn't sleep well. The work out yesterday was still punishing me. Didn't eat breakfast and my medicine on time. Have much to cram. Might be taking on more responsibilities soon. Hope it's the ones I like.

Dips and push-ups

Dips 20, 20, 20, 10-10, 15-5 Pushups 20, 20, 20, 10-10, 10-5-3-2 Thendashes are for the breaks in the rep. That's over the course of 2 hours. Hopefully I can do it all in less time and less rest. That makes an average if 12 mins rest per interval. But I really start with little rest and end up really really tired. The goals are I do this all with 1 minutes average breaks and everyday. When that is achieved I still have a long way to go doing push-ups with my hands closer and closer.

Running update

32 mins 4km star Trac, 5.15 Nike, 4.8km fitbit. Morning run and did much better than usual. Today my morning weight is 173lbs, a weight I may have not seen possibly for 3± years. Slept little, Niko with his nightmares.

Foods Experiment

Image
280 calories and 330g. Took less than 10 minutes to prepare because the rice is usually left over from my son and the tomatoes and onions are from the food chopper (which I realize helps because I'm groggy in the morning) I'm an iunintended pescaterian. The onion and tomatoes substitute for the kimchi which is unreliable in supply and most of the time goes bad quickly. I hope to reduce the rice and add shredded cabbage filler and tomatoes (lowering the calorie density) Overall cheaper than a fast-food meal, even with the nori which is 15php for the added 12cal. Rice is about 7php Tomatoes and onion 15php Canned tuna 40php Nori 15php If the food taste is OK but consistent it's easy to stay on the diet and minimize the stress. Having a list of compensating strategies (snacks and exercises) and planning meals for 3 days in advance is how it's evolved into. Ita like feeding my 3yr old son, it takes many tricks and negotiation and never works with force. Our bo

I'm losing weight, but at a cost

I learned to eat less. Now that I'm more conscious and aware of how much energy I burn vs how much I can eat. A lot of food is out of my reach, BUT there are some foods that I can still eat and is pretty good for me. So breads and all the grains except rice are out. Fries are out, and all potato based foods because I can't help but it them with tons of fatty addatives like cheese and gravy. Gravy is a real cheat, because its oils and starch its actually averaging on the 6cal/g. Fat can be 6-7cal/g but in the form of oil it gets denser and jumps to 8-9cal/g. I bough a food chopper it works. The goal is just to eat a mix of kimchi, onions and tomatoes with my Tuna Meal. My tuna meal has even gotten better with just getting the one in brine. So I can manage 200g of rice (for 222cal), Tuna of 90g for 90cal, and 100grams of vegies of about 30cal. Thats about 320cal for a meal of ~400g!  I'm learning to also eat less. I really need a portable scale when I'm eati

Running update

45mins is 5km in star Trac 3.8 in Nike. 6.10 in fitbit I the Nike has gotten worse and I averaged 6.5kph today. Of course it's earlier today. Left knee and right knee to foot feeling stained.

Running update

34 min 5.09km star Trac and 4.65 km Nike. 6.0km fitbit. I walked Niko to Jollibee for Breakfast and he ate most of a one piece chicken with sufficient coke bribes. In moderation he will take sips and even drink more water.

Family updates

Chat is currently Sick. Niko is now, for more than a week, playing imaginary games. He finally appreciates the Pig and Frog puppets and fights with them energetically. He likes head butting with them and like getting bitten (dont know why?). Today he ate by himself the noodle soup of his mom. We are trying to reduce the sugar in his diet. Although he needs to be bribed with icecream or some sweets to eat regular food.

Sleep Problems, Some Health Updates

Image
Took benedryl (took 2x 25mg) and my allergies went away but I kept waking up. I dont know why? It felt like I was so used to waking up all the time. It was worse yesterday without the antihistamine. I think I will be more reliant on the benedryle so that I would get a healthier sleep.  Food Habits 1 can of Century Lite Tuna, no Oil (75g of Oil!) 1-2 cups of rice (150g) Kimchi of 100g 280 calories Coffee in 100ml of milk, and 8g of brown sugar. 80 cal

Running update

32 mins 4k in star Trac and Nike. 4.8k fit bit. Ate breakfast with Nico and did not wake up on time. I took benadryl and I could breathe but I kept waking up. It's like I'm not used to sleeping straight. It will take time to adapt.

Set exercise and efficiency goals only 2 weeks far

Setting my goals with my calendar at 2 weeks far and allowing myself to cross them out helps. I will cross the out using this blog reporting and posting when I am able to accomplish anything. I guess I will be using this blog more and more to channel my need for affirmation.

Food log and some notes.

Image
The strength of my ability to stick to this diet is the acceptance that certain foods are out of my nutritional capacity. Wheat is 3.7cal /g Rice is 1.11cal /g Meat is 2-2.5cal /g Tuna and some white fish is 1cal/g Egg is 1.4cal/g and an egg is about 50g or 75cal. The oil that comes with the tuna is 8cal/g! (oils range to 7-9cal/g) Extra Virgin Olive Oil is 9cal/g Sardines is 3cal /g Butter is 7.7cal/g Tomatoes 0.18cal/g (canned tomato sauce are up at 0.3cal/g) Onions 0.4cal/g Veggies are fractions of 0.3-.1 /g And coffee to kill the hunger. This basically means if there is only 100g of tuna in a can. the there is 10 grams of oil in the can? About a tablespoon. If I just use the oil in the can So the corned tuna is terrible. To hide and correct the flavor, I had to make it into an omelet. The omelet can benefit from onions, tomatoes, and fresh ground pepper. Weigh this omelet and divide it into a portions and rations. The  between Oil or Tomato sauce, Tomato s

Forgetful Goals, Exercise notes for today

I keep making statements about things I'm going to do, or try to do to get myself to do them. Goals can change, because along the way there may be something easier or more fruitful. I have some current goals. An effective Diet. One that allows me to stand eating X or Y everyday. I tried corned tuna and it was horrible compared to Tuna Lite. I dont mind the blandness of Tuna lite, I can't stand the saltiness and the mush that is corned tuna.  Diet is really for a goal is really to bring down my fat content. The best indicator is my belly, no belly no problem. Exercise for better strength and mobility. Move more quickly under my gear.   Abs is just a sign of low fat content, not musculature. The lower the fat, the more muscle shows. Back pain should go down as my torso and back strength goes up as I combine Dips with Pelvic Thrust.  An effective group of habits that allow me to do my job and learn stuff on the side, plus the games I run that keep me feeling a sense of

Running update

32 min 4km star Trac or 4.14km in Nike and 5.16 in fit bit. Zoned out to day dreams of me being young and very fast again. Also daydreaming of an sca Manga set here in the Philippines. Last time I drank 2 liters now not ad much as its cloudy and not as hot.

Pushups and Cooking

So in the morning I have to do the following. Exercise . Either Run for 4-5 star trak km and bring about 2L of cold water given the heat of the weather. Push ups and Dips. Working towards 100 a day. Currently just barely able do 100. Today I was able to only do Push ups 20,12,10,10 and Dips 20,15,8. I think a realistic goal if I do this everyday and every chance I get is 5 reps of 10 push ups. Preparing breakfast, lunch and snacks for the day . Breakfast is typically Beef Breakfast Steak cut or Canned Tuna. Beef of 80-125g or 160-250cals while Tuna is just 100g for 100cal. Rice is about 180g or 180 calories. Kimchi of about 100g or 30 calories, and coffee of about 10g of brown sugar and 80-100ml of milk (50-66cal). So my breakfast can range from 410-560 calories. Good for 4 hours. I need to wake up earlier and sleep less. I'm worried about the shock of my brain having to deal with reality in extended periods and how sleepy I get. I still need to visit kidney institute to get

Running update

41 min ago Star Trac 5km. 6.6km fit bit and 4.45km Nike. Feet did not hurt. Was able to zone out in imagination land. Zone out is code for being in imagination land. Surprisingly nothing hurts bad. Hope everything is OK.

Food Adjustments

Image
So basically some heavy adjustments in my diet.  From using 50g of milo I am now using just 10g of brown sugar. Thats 210 calories to 37 calories when I take my coffee.  So my coffee is now 100g of milk for 64calories and 37 calories of sugar.  I got gourmet (the brand) coffee. 450php for 500g. I can drink it at 18g per "shot" that would be about 22php per drink. Instead of using the Coffee bean shots which is 40php each drink. If I drink 3 shots a day thats just ~300cal and ~75php. Coffee prevents me from getting hungry right after just eating.   So I dont get sick of my Tapa I will be eating the canned tuna with Kimchi. 500g is worth 150php at Kangs grocery - at 100g per meal thats 30php and 30 cals. about 60php per meal-ish. Not counting the rice and egg. rice and egg add about 220cal for 200g of rice. 220+160+80 = 460 cals.  The tapa is sirloin beef in "breakfast cut" marinated in Low Sodium Kikoman, pepper, and brown sugar. 750g (350php) of beef
