I like to pull the breading off of fried chicken. It cuts out some of the junk. But beggers can’t be choosers sometimes.

July 19th W3D6 E day
50 minute run today. Finally, a difficult cardio workout again. Hoping my shoes work good, will have to walk around in them a bit first. If not, I could always run in socks? Train my feet anyway.
Assignments for today
Crochet 2 rows onto blanket
Clean room
Finish drying sand, sift it, and put it in a bucket
Moss is seeming like something I might stick too but eh maybe not. I like nature.
I want to learn as much as I can, that way when society collapses and people, at the very least my (hopefully) future wife and kids can be taught by me, and others if possible.
After I get my blanket done, I will be able to focus on the chainmaille coif I’m making. Once that’s done, I can focus on learning more.
Skills I want to learn/improve at, or things that I want to learn in general:
Archery
Woodworking
Chemistry
Physics
More History
Strength
Flexibility
Speed
Some foreign language
Anything else I should learn?

Well, I have three options for running:
A: Run in the rain (not to bad but could get worse within 50 minutes) with old shoes and get blisters
B: Run in the rain with my new shoes and get them soaked, dirty, and get my feet blistered up (the new shoes are getting fitted in, its almost there, but it might blister feet up, i don’t know how this type of shoe reacts to running in the rain, they are apparently a type of basketball shoe, Nike Air Monarchs is what it says)
C: Wait, and run on a treadmill with one of my pairs of shoes later
I would like to run in the rain to get a tough workout, but I don’t want to hurt my feet and ruin my shoes. I don’t want to have to run on a treadmill, but if I do the treadmill I will have a very consistent workout and I can track my heart rate and keep it in a zone. Im thinking I will go for the treadmill but not 100% sure.
Breakfast:
3 eggs
1/4 cup cheese
1/4 tomato
5/4 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
7 cherries
1 cup 2% milk
----Total: 637 Kcal, 28g fat, 34g carbs, 61g protein
I’m aiming for 0g added sugar today

Dumped the sand. Its too dirty, I cant even clean it. My brother said he would buy me a thing of rice, so, that’s good.
Lunch:
1 fried chicke breast
1 fried chicken wing
1 fried chicken drum
1/4 small slice cheese cake (I said I wouldn’t have added sugar, but by the time I already asked i only then remembered, i had a sliver)
1 can root beer (going to be mowing and then running, so need carbs)

There’s a fair chance your glycogen stores are already topped off. I feel you could get by without this. Even the fried chicken probably has enough carbs.
Good luck with the run!

Yeah, your probably right.
Hopefully I get to run soon, my brother said he’ll text me when he can go to the gym with me. I really hope I will be able to run today.

Once I do my workout for today, only 2 weeks of training until I can lift again! Very exciting. August 4th is the start of the lifting part of base building, and then the last week of base building is the first week of school, which is good for transitioning. After that, its Operator+Black time.

I guess were not going to gym its getting late. By the time Im done, i would have to go to bed already and i don’t want to get all worked up before bed. I never get to sleep that way.

I hate not being able to workout. It gets me stressed, I suppose worked up
I cant go to workout at this hour, it will work me up before bed which I can not want.
I understand this feeling. Take solace in that you are 15. I turn 40 this year. I started training when I was 14. I’ve had nearly 26 years of training. Sliding a workout a day or missing one in the span of 26 years will have no impact.

I know it doesn’t really make an impact, but it still stresses me because it feels like I’ve done nothing all day. If its a planned rest day, I don’t feel stressed because I do end up doing stuff. But if I’m suppose to workout, and I don’t, that stresses me. I feel like I have a high heart rate, but I check my pulse it feels normal. Rarely, and this is also normally in conjunction with not going to sleep at a good time, I start getting… derranged? delirious? delusional? something, anyway, Micro mood swings I suppose.
Delusions, Mood swings, Elevated heart rate, mind going faster than it normally goes. This sounds like symptoms of something.
Hormones. Don’t sweat it.
This is why my motto is “Chaos is the plan”. Plans can’t fall apart when Chaos IS the plan. It takes power away from the universe.
