Running update

42.5 mins 5.45km in star Trac, 6.75km in fitbit, and 7km in Nike. Right knee is weak and tired. Left shoe is looser than right. I'm currently kinda sick, but sometimes running helps. Niko has a virus cold and fever.

Niko is still sick

around July 14-20 niko was given meds, an antibiotic of 5ml and something for the colds. We were barely able to stick to his 12hour (2x a day) schedule for the antibiotic since he would put up a fight and would need 2-3 people to administer it, even with generous bribes. It was on the 19th where he would later learn to just take the medicine without restraint. Prior to that he had a mild fever, which eventually rose. We went to the Wife's company doctor since the medicine was almost free as well as the consultation. Anyway, he's sick again. This time its pretty bad. He would not eat and fell asleep. He ate only a little, and now sleeps even though he woke up fairly early. he did not go to school today. Hopefully he gets better. Now that the bribes work, I hope its fairly smooth sailing administering the drugs from now on.

Running update

5km 37 mins star Trac 6.22km Nike, and 5.8km in fitbit. Right knee feeling tired and undervaluing even tightness of shoes from poor attention to detail. Don't feel to bad. Recovering from yesterday. Getting to the more active lifestyle but it's still downing me from exhaustion but not from sickness. I really lost my old body.

Diet - No Time Table, Just Changing Habits

Its made up of many very small victories. Small victories that are hard fought and won. Today I'm 166.4 end of day weight, which puts me at 13lbs loss from when my weight started to go down. Its a much slower progression but I'm taking my time and the lesson is - It takes time. Losing weight with a certain goal of time does not work for me. Because essentially its not the Weight that changes, but the Habits. Habits change when we replace them with other habits. So the time it takes to trial and error a new habit that works is the amount of time it will take. So now I just eat a breakfast steak for breakfast, with an egg  or protien shake, which ever I can do at the time. The protien shake works with coffee, although I like it cold so I prepare it a day in advance. I've never planned my meals before and now I do. I imagine what I will eat, and look forward to it even when before I didn't like it so much. It is a real compromise with adjustment. No more carbs, just m...

Running update

48 minutes 6.48km Nike (calibrated) Star Trac 6km 6.13 fitbit Right knee acting up. It's feeling weak. I'm now hitting with the balls of my feet more but it's seems to be hurting my knees. To give my knees a break I'm going to be in 0 incline and average 6km. Tried 15kph and could sustain it enough to cover more than 200m. Punched till I have a new left hand knuckle scrape. My left misses and doesn't hit as squarely, so more scrapes. Will invest in good gloves. Kicks are slowly better, bow draw. Exercises is barely 30—45lbs in 10 seconds. Will practice to meet 80 seconds on a lower weight, while reverting back to 30-45lbs. Goal is 75lbs draw weight in the long run.

Running update

36 mins 5.15 star. Trac and fitbit 5.7 nike Shoe problems this time. Never felt this strong. Could be because I had breakfast scrambled eggs X2 and coffee and the other combination of the rest day and fighting exercise which made me stretch some muscles I've forgotten to use.
