Run update
Can I complete a 50 mile distance in Oct if all I do is run laps around a kid play structure in a park?
Health
I haven’t talked about it much lately for whatever reason, but I follow a No Sugar No Grains lifestyle. I also subscribe to using Fat for fuel. Have spent some time on this lifestyle experimenting and enjoying nutritional ketosis. Doing the whole pee stick. Also experimented with 4000 calorie days most of which were calories from fat. And other crazy things to see how my body experiment with dietary shifts of more whole real food and elimination of sugars and grains. After a couple of playing around, I’ve settled into a groove. I’m like Stella. Getting my groove back. For most of my life never realized my groove was taken from me.
Fortunately times have changed, information about food has improved. Unfortunately there is a lot of learning that has to go on. Conventional wisdom about food is everywhere and change is slow. Fortunately a groundswell of change is happening from some in the medical community, the fitness community, health and wellness. The forming books, diet and lifestyle principles, and video and podcasts.
I’m not an expert, but hope to spread the good word and live by example. Not perfect but better each day.
Diet
Olive bar (olives, cauliflower, mushrooms, artichoke), spoon from soup area, can of sardines packed in water (Season Brand), half handful of almonds and Brazil nuts. GT’s organic raw kombucha Bilberry.
Incidentally, olives and the kombucha seems to be, for me, a recipe for explosive poop action. Olive bar then slam back the fizzy booch. On an empty stomach.
Play & Family
I’ve exited the various AppleTV apps. Since we’v e ditched and cut cable subscription, there are a set of AppleTV apps I won’t be able to use because the programming requires activation with a cable subscription. I have explored or discovered the Vevo app for music videos. I love music videos ever since the MTV of the 80s. Before the games shows and reality TV took over. With a Vevo account I can set up a playlist of videos I like and play it on the TV to rock out to with the kids. There are certain video my daughter wants to dance to.
