August 8, W6D5 HIC day
Will be doing workout 10, Short Hill sprints, I think I have access to a hill that should work for this, but we will see. Never done hill sprints before really, so this should be fun.
āI go for refreshing air, and find none. I seek a pleasant aroma, and find only burning stench. I look for pure light, and find only gray hazeā
I hate the canadian wildfires, the smoke is getting worse. Not as worse as 2023 was but still pretty bad. I smell it, and the moon was red coloured last night around 8:15 from when I saw it.
Todayās Assignments:
Knit Sweater
Work on gear
Clean up all chemistry stuff (Ive been working on a few things that really were just taking up time and energy, so Iām retiring this for a little while)
I will continue eating healthy today, very little grain, and getting most carbs from vegetables and fruits. No added sugar, No artificial dyes or flavors, no chemicals that donāt need to be in the food like sodium stearate for example, also know as the main ingredient in soap. Thats right, they put soap in some foods.

Got a hair cut. Its okay. Its going to be more useful, my hair wont bother me during workouts, and i wont be constantly brushing it out of my face all the time. I look realy different now though. My mutton-chops/sideburn/starting beard had to go, it didnt fit in with my short hair.
I had a piece of local raisin bread ;(it had flour, water, vegetable shortening, cinnamon, raisins, and sugar, thatās it. Oh and yeast. Thatās it); for fueling up for my workout. Hopefully I will be able to do it, I have the start of a blister on the bottom of my left foot and its hurting. Stupid new shoes. The right one squeaks so loudly its horrible. the left one is developing a squeak also. I think I should be fine since its a slope but weāll see.
Duct tape can help with the blister. And, in truth, your glycogen stores are most likely already topped off from everything you ate before the bread. Unless youāre like a crossfit games competitor, doing multiple training sessions per day, itās not too big a concern to fuel before training. I train fasted most days.
Got it, Il keep that in mind. Iāl be honest, a large reason I had the bread is because its fresh, no preservatives, so I wanted to get to eat some of it before it gets moldy.
Sprints were good. The distance was pretty much spot on, but it could have been a bit steeper. The hill is steeper at the start and then starts to level off, none of the way is fully level though. Did all 10 sets, I think next time I will do 15.
Lunch time, no grains and no added sugar. Time to see what weāve got.
We get/make fresh bread as well. Keeping it in the fridge/freezer helps it store longer. For the freezer, we just take out a few slices when we want them. They thaw really quick.
Lunch:
1 oz swiss
2 kosher dill pickles
1/4 cup salted cashews (I would like unsalted but donāt have any so, oh well)
3 cherries
(Plus the slice of cinnamon raisin bread from earlier)

2 hard boiled eggs
2 oz ham

Dinner: Mom decided to just get Chinese Lo Meinā¦ Ugh. At least it tasted good.
2 cups Lo Mein
1 payday candy bar (Mom decided to get one for me or some reason, so of course I ate it. Its really just sugar disguised as healthy)
1 oz homemade chocolate (I tried making dark chocolate, and to get the sugar to dissolve I used half and half because we ran out of milk, end up more of a fudge. Not healthy, didnāt taste that great. Dinner was a disaster tonight. There goes todays goal of eating healthy
----Total: 825 Kcal, 29g fat, 118g carbs, 24g protein
Still need 741 Kcal and 59g protein.
Its so frustrating when I think Im going to be able to eat healthy, and then mom decides not to cook and get crap for dinner. COME ON. I was looking forward to having a bunch of shrimp for dinner tonight, And now I still have so much to eat with protein when I would rather be getting a shower and going to bed.
4 oz swiss cheese
1 dill pickles
----Total: Not enough. I dont care.
----Total: 446 Kcal, 35g fat, 2g carbs, 31g protein
Not too far off, 285 Kcal and 28g protein. Not the worst.
Have to run for 30 minutesā¦ weāll see. Definitely feeling my legs from those sprints. I thought it was going to be alot worse, but, its not super bad.
I want to start doing more stretches and mobility stuff. Would be useful to do and would prevent injury im sure. Any suggestions generally?
Todayās assignments:
Knit sweater
Work on upgrading telescope;;
Im basically done with the first gear, but Im trying to see if i can find a way to attatch the gears froma fishing rod to it. If i can, Iād have to get another gear, or is i have to make another, so the teeth mesh properly.
Only 9 days til school starts. Probably wont be able to write here in the morning.
Today I will again look to not eat added sugars or grain if possible.
Well, the first three of the agile 8 I cant do because I donāt have a foam roller, but the rest I can do. Iāl figure something out I can add if I feel I need to.
