I literally couldn’t sleep. And my poo schedule is all over the place. I was groggy this morning, like in a fog. Maybe I’d have adjusted after a bit but fuck that.
My new fad diet is calorie counting with keeping the protein high.
One third of every meal protein, veg/fruit, carbs as @Thomas_Brady said won’t see you far wrong. Minimise sugars and processed foods.
I generally keep the protein high and the rest lowish.
It would help if on one of my 5-6 gym visits a week, I went near a cardio machine instead of just lifting
Would you go for an oul walk and listen to a podcast or something… Your back will thank you for it in the decades to come
I walk every day

I’ve added a 5km walk each evening into my daily routine. If I go out alone I’ll listen to an audiobook.
It’s changed my life in ways I never thought possible. I’m like a new man mentally after it.

Huel Black. Any lad ating regular Huel now needs their head examined.
I ate it in the Fall and Winter. I’ve gotten into soups recently. I might make that a thing for A/W 2020 on TFK.

Running has been shown to help short term memory - like for study and such things …
Sorry for randomly offloading that on you.
Soups are easy and full of what’s good for you …

I’m a huge fan of born to run mate and a healthy level of running is great for mind and body, but grimacing through a pain barrier makes little sense I think
It’s literally magic for the mind. I’ve started to add a weekend hike now with the family on a Sunday morning when I can. We did 10km weekend before last. I’d like to start hiking a bit longer myself - take off for an entire Saturday afternoon or similar.
If you can get anywhere away from civilisation even better, but almost impossible in ireland. I went for a few 6-7 hour back country walks in Canada, no sign of human life anywhere bar the trail. Soul food.

@backinatracksuit is always banging on about that book —
We were born to move tho — but we’re heading the other way.
I agree re grimacing through pain - it’s stupid. I just stop dead now when I’m gassing — i’ve done a few short runs at ‘pace’ and i’ve gotten to 4.5km and instead of suffering for another few minutes just to make 5k, I stop instead … it’s really just about getting into a comfortable pace you can maintain , like walking, and getting in the meditation zone.

I’ve a 7km loop I do in the park most evenings. Lovely to listen to angry metal or a podcast, depending on my humour.
Unfortunately the missus has a tendency to tag along and ruin it lately

You are only codding yourself going for a walk. You are at nothing if your weekly schedule is not full of interval, shuttle and tempo runs.
