Kimchi would be a viable alternative. It has an odor, but only when you eat it vs having to prepare it. Sauerkraut is another choice. Both are fermented which, if you HAVE to eat plants, is a good way to go about it.
Fobbit intervals with the jump rope and burpees
Devil’s trinity, using jump rope, burpees and shadow boxing
GC1
GC10 with jump rope instead of jog
Yeah, I do like sauerkraut, Never tried kimchi, we have never bought any. Something I can try to make if I want to.
I had about a few sentences complaining against each of these, but they are all refuted by the fact that:
Im doing them at home, not at school.
Against the complaint of Shadowboxing- nobody will see me
Against the complaint of Kettlebell swings being replaced- we don’t have a kettlebell that has a weight to do. Only an 8lb one. We are not at school
Against the complaint of Burpees- I don’t love these but… okay? yeah?
I don’t think I will do GC 1 simply because I don’t want to do that many burpees. Plus I’m not sure if I’m well enough to do them, which all the axis changes (whatever this means)
I might do that #24 workout, but Fobbit intervals sounds interesting.
Il probably just pick the one that seems the easiest, because Im still slightly sick (or whatever is going on). Not an excuse not to workout though!
Feb 23 2026 W1D1 (proper)
Todays workout… GC 10. Seems easyish, but I expect it to get difficult after the first round obviously.
The snow outside is beautiful to look at. Its a wet snow, so its stuck to all the tree branches.
Need to finish my math homework, only like 5 more problems. Then do that math thing. I can do that all after I workout in a few minutes.
Breakfast:
1 cup Greek yogurt
1/2 cup protein granola
1 English muffin
1 tbsp butter
3 strawberries

Time to get moving I guess.
I don’t think I will do GC 1 simply because I don’t want to do that many burpees.
I will say that, if I based how I trained based on what I wanted to do, I’d never train. 26 years of training and I still hate exercise.
Ugh this is stupid!
Theres no room to jump rope in my house! I barely have enough space to do it without knocking down the ceiling fan. I don’t want to have to shovel snow just to do my workout. Plus, I don’t think my ankle is ready for this yet. So many stupid things!
Well I shoveled outside. I can workout in the attic, my mom told me, so I will do that probably. Still probably shouldnt jump rope a bunch but I will do something.
Did a few burpees. Hey, they aren’t THAT bad.
I think I will try #24 devils trinity. It has rests in it!
No, my ankle is hurting quite a bit. I don’t know what to do…
I think I’m gonna just resort to doing walking. Its something.
Walked for one hour:
3 miles
6601 steps
318 Kcal (supposedly)
I got 8030 steps in so far today
My brother said we can go to the gym today possibly. So that’s good.
TIme to eat.
Wont be able to go to the gym today. Oh well.
I used to not really get phased by certain things like blood on TV but recently I’ve noticed it really gets to me sometimes.
In general, I just feel like I’m messed up inside. I really do. Like I’m not myself.
I think I need to just lay down for a few minutes and get back straight.
Good eating today for the most part.

I really should wear my glasses, I have to zoom in to see what I’m typing on here when I have my Chromebook on my lap. I need to get new glasses too. I wish theree was something I could do to fix my eyes (without surgery) but there isn’t. I read about dilute atropine eye drops, but that only slows it down and if its gonna happen well whoopdeedoo its gonna happen I wont use something for that. I suppose that’s not very sound reasoning but oh well. And reading about it more maybe I should steer clear of it…
Got in my 10k steps today. Okay, where are my abs? lol.
Feb 24 2026 W1D2 Conditioning day
Today I will see what I can do conditioning-wise. I’ll probably do some jump rope, and maybe some sprints on the treadmill. Only have about 20-25 minutes, so I should have enough time for something.
I never actually marked yesterdays total.
2560 Kcal, 104g fat, 254g carbs, 154g protein
Breakfast in 10 minutes
Ate decently well yesterday. Really the only bad food choice was eating 3 oreos.
Yesterday’s today:2645 Kcal, 116g fat, 236g carbs, 164g protein
My workout yesterday wasn’t very structured, at all. But I did a very short fast run on the treadmill, some fast rowing, a bit of jump rope, and a minute of the bike.
Feb 25 2026 Lifting day
Todays the math competition. Not sure how ready I am, mentally. I find myself wishing we had a two hour delay so it would cut off the event, but mostly so I would be able to have strength class. But I’m also glad its not cut off, like most events. I haven’t gone to many things solely because its been canceled for something.
I’ll be lifting after school, and depending on the timing, I’ll probably be walking home. Oh well, good way to get in some steps (and because of my backpack, it should be a half-decent ruck, too)
Breakfast in 8 minutes
Great day today. Time to do a whole lotta nothing
The math contest went pretty well. I think. I did not use my time well on the individual problems, and only got about 7-8 answers out of the 36 questions (I only got to questions 19 before there was only 12 minutes left… stupid stupid stupid me! I still think I got some points, but Im not sure how it works with the team stuff, either way I think either we lost or I caused us to lose… There were only 3 team members out of the four that were going to show up (1 couldn’t come because of scheduling), and I’m not sure how that affected us. Anyways, it was fun in a way. So that was cool. Good chance to socialize with the 2 others in my team, and I gained a bit of courage… ordering in a food line. Which brings me to
I got to try mediteranian food. After we left the university, we went to this mediteranian place on the way back. WOW that’s some nice food. It has lots of flavor, which was a little odd but I liked it. its the 3rd unique restaurant that I’ve tried that has flavored food (Spanish and Vietnamese being the other two). I had a bowl with Basmati rice, romaine lettuce, tzatziki, hummus, braised lamb (first time having it. WOW that was good!), steak, grilled corn, and a pita bread. Very good. If it was closer I would go more. I might have to try making something like that at home! Good excuse to cook more.
We got back in time for me to have the last half of my Physics class, so I got my quiz done in that class (Not too confident in that, I think I did all right (its only 3 questions so ehh not to important, I need to study)
I got my workout in after school. Did squats first, and my left hip wasn’t happy so I stopped. I did bench no problem (though I didn’t feel really locked in to the path of the bar, not sure. I had strength to problem but my arms felt a little shaky). Then I tried squat again. Felt good. No problem really. Did pullups, and then a bit of forearm work.

Good day today. In the process of tracking my food.
Feb 26 2026 W1D4 Conditioning day
Yesterdays’ food: Only real unhealthy thing was a donut I had, and it wasn’t that great.
2644 Kcal, 113g fat, 274g carbs, 145g protein.
Hm. I think I need to focus on protein a little more.
Today will be a conditioning day. Im thinking of doing some more plyometric type exercises, like weighted jump squats, plyometric pushups, etc. Are these suitable in combination with the strength workouts, or might they interfere? I want to make them more common, so I can be a bit more explosive.
Hopefully I can get a bucket for the rice we got, so I can do rice bucket training. It will be really good for my hands/forearms.
I’m ready to tackle today. 14 minute until breakfast.

Check out the “power” section of conditioning in TBII.
Mediterranean food is absolutely delicious: glad you got to experience that. Lamb is such an underrated protein source.
I will do that.
Never ended up tracking my stuff on here yesterday.
I only got about 8000 steps in, but it was about 8:30 by that time and It was time to call it a rest.
My workout yesterday:
2 minutes and 30 seconds of rowing, to warm up
Jump Squats with 11lb medicine ball: 15 reps x 3 sets
Some jump rope
2 sets of 15 plyo pushups
5 minutes of running on the treadmill
6 pullups
Not the most serious workout but It was pretty good I think.
I saw my friend/neighbor (14) at the weight room. He was there with his gf. First time we’ve been in the same school building for 6 years. He’s 2 grade below me. We always talked about how after I was done with 4th grade we would have to wait until 11th grade until we saw each other in the same building. Well… that’s next year. And I don’t know where the time went.
I can’t believe Im in 10th grade already. 2 1/2 years until I’m off to college. Its crazy really.
.
I splurged a little on crap yesterday, eating an Oreo, 3 mint cookies, and a bit of store bought cookiedough.
Yesterday’s food total: 2631 Kcal, 115g fat, 243g carbs, 157g protein
Feb 27 2026 W1D5 Strength day
Glad to lift today. Excited to get in my last session using 70% this block. Then I can go to 80% next week.
Today Is club picture day, and obviously part of when I have to go is during strength class. I’ll have to stop like 10 minutes before to get ready a bit, and Im going to put on the shirt I got for that club. Im bringing a whole wardrobe today it seems like.
11 minutes until breakfast.
Today has gone well so far.
Got all the pictures done, and I was still able to get in my lifting. I think squat hurt my back though, its killing me a bit. Shouldn’t have pushed through with squat. I guess I need to actually do real recovery exercises for everything… In any case, I got my workout done in about 25-ish minutes. I supersetted everything, which was a bit fun since I was able to get it done in a reasonable amount of time. If I do this regularly, I would have more time to do a bit of other work. I may start doing this, or supersetting something anyway, probably bench and pullups. Should save about 10 minutes that way.
I would get in some more steps, but I might just lay down. Would probably be good for my back.
Finished watching Downton Abbey. Now I won’t watch TV for a long time. Don’t need to, I finished everything I wanted to watch really.
I started typing this nearly an hour ago. Im just posting it.
Feb 28 2026 W1D6 Rest day I guess
Back needs to rest, so no lifting today.
I got a bucket for my rice bucket training. So I can do that today, which is nice.
Im trying a new method of eating, just to see how I like it. Instead of eating bigger meals, I will spread them more evenly throughout the day.
Will update in a bit.
Did my first session of rice bucket training. Great pump, its a bit difficult to type. I will do this every other day, I think. Not fully sure about the scheduling of it though.
Breakfast (two meals spaced apart, but I’m combining them as one for simplicity)
2 eggs
1 tsp butter
a bit of spinach
2 mushrooms
1 cup minute rice
1 cup Greek yogurt
1/2 cup protein granola
2 large strawberries
----Total: 801 Kcal, 25g fat, 92g carbs, 53g protein
Tomorrow I will take some 1 month progress pictures. Il use my normal lighting set up this time, in the garage.
