Starting again: Either this or upon this

[Leithient]

Last days. I went out with some friends Friday and Saturday, so the diet... not healthy (but I tried to choose the healthier options, except for the alcohol).

 

I have to say that yesterday I had an accident, I cracked my head open. When I arrived to the Hospital, they put on it three staples. I'm good, I think (there is some risk the first 48 hours, but I don't feel worse than normal). However, I think I learned an important lesson of life. The ambulance arrived an hour later than the moment I had the accident, and the last 30 minutes were awful. I started to feel cold, I didn't feel pain on my head, too much blood, my friends very serious... I thought that I was dying and now I think that I have passed the last 25 years of my life complaining without a true reason. I realized that it's ABSURD being worried of my weight or my whatever, because life is very fragile, and very short. I think I want to be healthier and stronger and better, but only because it is going to make me enjoy more the life. I am a new person

 

Tomorrow I'm not going to the gym (rest day until being out of danger).

This is funny:

[Leithient]

Don't know where tracking this kind of information, so here - I don't want to saturate the thread about my challenge.

I'm doing intermittent fasting. I started to eat today at 11:50 a porridge with oats, nuts and fruit. Now 2:20 PM I feel hungry and I ate an apple. (Lunch time is at 3 PM). The breakfast had about 330 Kcal, but almost no protein.

I want to break the fasted state tomorrow at the same time, trying a different breakfast, and see how I feel during the morning.

[Leithient]

Fasting from 9:?? to 12 PM. Starving at 10 AM (wake up at 9:30 with hungry).

 

Breakfast: 4 whites (PROT) + 1 tomato + 2 carrots + 3 plums + 1 ¹/₂ cup of grapes (CH) + 1 tsp of olive oil (FAT). 374 Kcal.

 

Hungry again at 2:30 PM. I ate 2 pears. Not starving, but no different effects between yesterday's breakfast and today's.

Hey there, keep it up!

 

Two apps to help you with the tracking: 

- Foods: MyFitnessPal https://www.myfitnesspal.com/

- Habits: Lift http://lift.do/  (you can track pretty much anything)

[Leithient]

I'm using Lose it! to track my meals, but I didn't know Lift.do, it's awesome. I love it. Thank you for the suggestion.

 

I'm here, but I'm tracking most of things on the other thread. Anyway, this week has been a bit weir. I hope the next one would be better.

 A new challenge is coming. And, with it, new goals and motivations.

 

First new motivation: I've met a girl. She is my classmate at college, and I'm on these days in which everything is nerves and butterflies in my stomach. I'm 15 years old again. Ok, it doesn't matter, but this means two things:

 

1. I'm going to be a bit obsessed with liking her and deserving her and being better for her and the rest of silly things that in-loved people are using to do.
2. I think it will be funnier if I keep her in my mind and maybe it could be less obsessive if I think that this could help me to seduce her.

Maybe it's stupid but I don't know how to deal with my feelings, so this 'game' could help, I think.

 

Ok. My main goal is losing weight. I think I will be at 70 kg (154 lbs) by the begining of the challenge. I don't know what could be a reasonable goal: 64 kg? (140 lbs).

 

I'm going to divide in three sectors:

 

EXERCISE (running or running + 3x5)

DIET #1 (what I eat)

DIET #2 (how I eat what I eat)

 

+ MENS SANA IN CORPORE SANO (something related with my studies)

 

+ 30 days challenge (memorize a Beethoven's Sonate)

Hi, daggart! I like your challenge plans. I think what you are saying is that you will keep your new love interest in mind as your challenge muse? That should be good motivation!

[Leithient]

Exactly, you're right. She could be my muse. Well, recently I've discovered that she has a boyfriend or something like that, but...

Today's workout.

Military press: 7 + 12.5 kg (3x5)

Barbell row: 7 + 15 kg (3x5)

Deadlift: 7 + 20 kg (3x5)

I'm going to run now.

[Leithient]

 Today, 7K race. I'll post tonight the time.

 

I've started with the biphasic sleep. That's what I'm doing:

 

8/11 (5,3 h)

22:30 to 0:00

2 to 5:50

 

9/11 (5,8 h)

16:30 to 17:50

2:45 to 7:10

 

10/11

1:50 to 6:10

 

I need to sleep a bit more.

[Leithient]

 39'48'' on the race. I'm very happy.

I know that it's a bad mistake. The day was going so well, but I'm not to give up, the day is very long enough and I'm going to improve it in the incoming hours (3 tangerines + 1 turkey breast, and I am not very far from my ideal Kcal intake, I think).
