Out of this two, I'd focus on getting enough sleep in the first place. You can't run on sleep deficit for long, but you can easily manage your nutrition later. 

 

Kudos for supporting your parents :)

I absolutely CAN run on caffeine and hatred. But only with a dash of milk.

One chicken leg

100g lotus roots

100g celery

10g shiitake mushroom

20g carrot

One orange

One persimmon

30g chicken

 

Also my aunt gave me of all things...instant noodles >.< She was afraid they'd be stuck at home during lockdown for 2 weeks and have nothing to eat so she overpiled instant noodles >.<

 

Dinner:


One banana

180g pork heart

60g chicken

100g eggplant

200g nai bai

50g beehoon (aka rice noodles)

75g chicken thigh

some mock duck meat

100g cabbage

20g carrot

20g shiitake mushroom

20g soy nuts

One dragon fruit

Canned lychee with aloe vera desert (yeah - in laws were nattering at me to go finish the cans of lychee so I popped them open and made lychee tea and some aloe vera desert)

 

Tea break:

One Glutinous rice and red bean paste dumpling

 

Now I don't know how I feel about this one - everytime I pass by the store, I feel like having one, but many days I don't have the time to queue to buy one, or the time to eat one.  I know its junk food but I wanted to scratch the itch, or even better maybe it would be too sweet and I'd go yuck, what waste of money, lets not do that again. I microwaved it for 2 min which made it end up like popcorn(yeah I overdid it), but it was still kinda nice in its own way, and now I'm wondering how it'd taste if I did a proper microwave/steam job. Then there's the McDonalds coconut pie that I'm having cravings for, I know it's bad, but it's limited edition so I only have a certain timeframe to go try it. And this is at a time when I'm not keeping my weight in very good control, not to mention I've lost the ability to pull up due to lack of practice(probably), or possibly getting too much weight. I was 49.8, now I'm 51.5. In kg.

 

 

 

25 jump squats

 

20 push ups, feet on a chair

 

15 reverse crunches

 

4 sets

 

At least work is giving me a break so I have time to clear my messy inbox(it's flooded with mails), and with it flooded with mails, I don't search for stuff very well.

 Messing around with experimental batches of this:

 

https://minimalistbaker.com/overnight-chocolate-chia-seed-pudding/

 

No cocoa powder, so used milo instead:

Skipped adding any sweetner because milo is already sweet.

Anyway I did the wtf are you freaking nuts thing - by running from my in-laws house to my parents house on a sunday. Distance approximately clocked is around 23km+ some, not accurate as my phone ran out of battery during the duration of the run (3h 13 min or so, including time for water stop, potty break...). The challenging part about the run is the last 17km or so there is no place to stop for water, so the best you can do is refill that 500ml bottle and hope it lasts till the end...and my GPS is linked to my phone so it started getting scary that I needed to get to familiar ground before my phone ran out of battery.

 

But it was a good run, weather was cool, route was relatively sheltered, and towards the last stretches the only people I saw were cyclists - I don't think anyone is crazy enough to try to run that kind of distance...lol. Sort of indicates how fked up I am, in a good way ;)

 

Lunch:

100g fish

200g nai bai

Half a mango

9 lychees

An apple

An egg

3 spring rolls

Dinner:

60g aglio olio

Breakfast:

1 tomato

 

Lunch:

30g pork

100g pig stomach

30g pig intestine

100g fish

200g ridge gourd

1 tomato

One dragonfruit

And sorry failed a will save and ate a cookie.

Yeah, sleep deficit hurts ones performance like heck. If you have any way to fight it, make it a priority. Even at the cost of missed workout. Being tired may lead to injury, and then you'll lose more training sessions.

Given access to a bar, you'll re-learn it in no time :) Just do some negatives or assisted first.

Dinner:

Fish - 100g

100g daikon raddish

200g endives 

 

Post dinner snack:

Not sure what came over me but I finished half a small container of tiny biscuits (because they were getting soft), ate a digestive biscuit to try it out and an ice cream.

 

Breakfast:

200g french beans 

100g chicken breast 

One brands chicken essence 

 

Woke up to a rainy morning on my lsd day and was cussing at the weather. End up running loops in the stadium carpark. 

 

Now here's a funny thing. I was disgusted at the idea of having to run in an underground carpark, so much that I wanted it over and done with. After the whole run, i checked the laps i ran in the underground carpark and they were 5 min 40+ sec/km which is like waaaay faster then my usual snail pace. I am not sure if it is a GPS lack of receptivity bug or what else. And the stranger thing is the whole 22km shenanigan was done on 3h 47 min of sleep the night before. (I was binge playing the latest hearthstone story mode trial by felfire). 

 

I'd have expected today's run to be a complete drag due to unsuitable venue and lack of sleep but it was strange. Really strange. 

 

Post lunch snack:

An apple

3 dates

Egg with capsicum

 

Lunch:

150g duck

300g chye sim with 40g minced pork

40g of red beans with 10g of longan

 

Dinner:

70g pork belly

200g xiao bai cai

50g lotus root 

25g peanuts

90g chicken

 

My hubbie also back squatted with me as a weight for 10 reps(I'm about 50 kg). I tried the other way round but only managed unsteadily 2.

Then I went back to climbing gym and climbed every VB and V01-V1 route in sight. (estimate 3 VBs, 3 V0-V1s)? I'm still rusty from lack of practice and also at the climbing gym we have to wear a mask whenever we are not climbing, but I opted not to take my mask on and off so I was climbing with a mask on(yeah its tough.). I only managed to finish a V1-2 route (orange) as shown below:

And a side of steamed peanuts. Almost Paleo except for the preserved vegetables and the oyster sauce gravy involved corn starch and the peanuts(didn't realize they weren't nuts per se) . Still a sh*tload of proteins and vegetables.

I guess it's some cultural stuff, but... why can't he prep his breakfast on his own? 

But this aside - can't you prep his food in the evening before, to avoid waking in the middle of the night?

He doesn't know how to cook lol. He did offer to get his own breakfast but I already cut the vegs for the day and didn't want to waste stuff. Anyway I took the opportunity to do my lsd... And yes, when I really run seriously.

I'll chalk the <6 min last week kilometers to GPS error for being in an underground carpark.
