Day 161: Being in bed before 23:15

3 Things I did right, no matter how small.
-Made an effort to ride on the old bike instead of using a chain from an unknown origin to fix the bike.
-6 pomodoros at least =/
-Usually on my usual bike I do at least 3 deliveries an hour, but yesterday after 5 hours i was on an average of 2 per hour, despite that in about 3 and a half hours I put extra extra effort when I got wind form the amount of deliveries and in about 3.5 hours more I made 15 deliveries. I'm still finding it hard t believe. (Completed 25 delivery norm, resulting in a 50$ bonus )
1 Thing I could do better
-Decide faster what to write in the schedule

3 Things I did right, no matter how small.
Jesus today I have a long list of things I did well, difficult to choose just 3, nonetheless here are some 3 🙂
-6 hours of sales
-6.5 hrs of deliveries resulting in 25 deliveries in high effort mostly 🙂 (Delivery norm for a 75$ bonus just barely)
-Leaving bike in the morning tied at the bike repair place so that they may fix it, and telling them where the key is (Because my work starts before they open) 
1 Thing I could do better
-Do things a bit faster in the morning so that I finish the pomodoros earlier and on time

Day 163: Being in bed before 23:15

3 Things I did right, no matter how small.
-6 pomodoros, I've already had days of 4 only... So this is better 🙂
-Completing workout main set at the gym within timeframe before it closed
-Even though I was thinking I'll change schedule yesterday because i did 6.5 more hours on the bike two days ago so I wanted to load up on calories - after discovering it has been one day short of food schedule end I decided to remain with planned food schedule and only change it the next day
1 Thing I could do better
-Write measuring myself at inbody machine(muscle mass, body fat percentage etc.) in schedule, it doesn't work writing it as a daily goal, it seems not to happen yet again

Food Schedule Update (24.4 - 8.5)
Generally the same, the only change is that today I'll eat like on Friday and Saturday, because on Sunday I rode the bike like on Friday Saturday and I want to replace the calories.

If something like this happens again(6+ hrs ride), I reserve myself the right to eat as on Friday Saturday the day after to replace he lost calories

Later update same day - If I run out of peanut butter on a friday-saturday may replace it one for one with tahini
1 More edit for clarification same day - once new pnb stock arrives, things go back to their order of course 🙂

Day 164: Being in bed before 23:15

3 Things I did right, no matter how small.
-having planned the next day with its specialties (Getting bike once again to shop for a preventive overall check. Yes I brought it twice already and both times they didn't manage to do an overall check yeta and it will need to be done again 🙂
-about 3.5 hrs of deliveries followed by a 1+ hour workout
-8 pomodoros (Even though I planned 12 but every pomodoro is a "well" thing 🙂 )
1 Thing I could do better
-For a long time I'm dozing off after dinner, I think doing the same with dinner as i do with lunch could help. Soak olive oil with the other ingredients a day in advance, maybe it will help the body absorb the meal and result in less sleepiness.

-At least 6 Pomodoro
1 Thing I could do better
-Having checked with the bike store about their opening hours beforehand, not assumed they work regularly as  the gym i work in does

Day 180: Eating Only between 06:30 and 19:00 (Last bite before 19:00)
Day 171: Being in bed before 23:15

3 Things I did well no matter how small
-Called a potential job place in the morning as written in the morning goals, even though I had to stop the momentum of the job for it for a couple of minutes, and even though I was a bit scared to tell I'm being fired.
-At least 5 pomodoros again... This is more than 0
-Answering a phonecall from potential job place and deciding to go for a meeting despite the first few weeks being (potentially if I'm hired) at least a 45-minute commute away from my home I've got to act quickly since I want to have a job for a few months, and I do not want to let the job search take too much time.

1 Thing I could do better
-Maybe reducing olive oil is not the best course of action since I'm underweight but rather switch up my routine to waking up at 4 40 or so am, o that I do 5 pomodoros early in the morning, then even if I eat olive oil a few hours before bed the tasks I'll do, like the workout will be interactive and I'll have less of an urge to doze off...

Day 172: Being in bed before 23:15

3 Things I did well no matter how small
-Attending a job interview quite far from home and giving this gig a chance as mentioned in the previous post, because I want it to quickly give an answer to my employment for the short term
-Almost 24 hour fast (two meals skipped
-Almost 6 hours of physical activity (Workout + deliveries) despite fasting (Jeez hope I don't disappear cuz I'm already underweight and this makes my calrie deficit even bigger =/)

1 Thing I could do better
-In the interview I could remember to emphasize the fact that even though I got fired I was improving all the time. (I just said that I felt that it was a corporate thing and possibly the results of the department were bad and they needed to do something to show the upper management they're doing efforts by firing me...

Day 173: Being in bed before 23:15

3 Things I did well no matter how small
-2 hrs job search
-5.5 hrs physical activity (Deliveries+workout)
-7 pomodoros

1 Thing I could do better
-Start a count of at least 8 pomodoros before 18 in the evening, the last part of day is where I'd rather do simpler tasks like a job or moving the body, they help maintaining more alert, thus doubling the productivity, If it's the other way around I mostly just doze off..

However this will have to depend on the kind of job I'll get... but for now as I do deliveries I may do that probably...

Day 174: Being in bed before 23:15

3 Things I did well no matter how small
-8 pomodoros
-order from grocery store very quickly
-7.5 hrs deliveries

1 Thing I could do better
-I believe I'll increase my consumption of some of the nuts I bought and compensate for the difference with my regular "Osher ad" stre visit which is planned in about a week. They also have nuts at fine prices.

Food Schedule update(Starting 07.05 'till 21.05 not including the 21)- I'll start with the ingredients I have 'till the next osherad purchase. Then purchase all the things that are lacking, again, may always go for less but never more)
1 day after 4 hour ride + Workout of about 1 hr (If not completed these requirements - revert to old schedule)
1. Added 20 g Tahini 
2. Added 35g almonds
3. Added 30g peas
4. Added 20g olive oil
5. Omitted chickpeas for now

For Saturday-Sunday (In case I go over 7 hours) 
1. Brazil 15g instead of 4-9
2. Tahini 70g instead of 50
3. Walnuts - None
4. Olive oil 100ml instead of 30ml
5. Green peas 200g instead of 100g
6. Coconut oil - 100ml 
7. Two-Three carrots remain the same as usual on saturday
8. Peanut butter - None
9. Almonds remain 50g 50g separated into two meals
In case under 7 hours the same as today
(2-3 carrots. orange+apple+cabbage, 60g peanut butter, 45x2 walnuts, 55x2 almonds)

Don't know If I can handle it, but I can always go for less...

Upd 04.05 7:13 AM - I may still change this food schedule 'till I start with it (For now it seems I'll go with it even in case I do just 3 hours of deliveries and 1 hr workout. So that I stay with a calorie surplus)

Upd 07.05 6:27 AM just before starting this schedule - I am allowed to eat the meal in the first case after a day of 3 hours deliveries and 55 min main workout set, also I may eat chickpeas 'till they run out, that's it no more changes for now =/ (Also replaced 50g coconut oil with 70g pistachios peeled on weekends

Upd 07.05 6:43 AM chickpeas only the cooked part I mean

Upd 13.05 6:53 AM to clarify, when I didn't get to 3hr ride and 1hr workout as written, all the notes in the above list are to be reversed.

Day 175: Being in bed before 23:15

3 Things I did well no matter how small
-8 pomodoros
-Wash room floor
-Made a custom weekly schedule including food schedule. planning everything with deliveries instead of gym + making enough place for job search and at least 8 blog pomodoros and workout and deliveries and brother's bday. Even though it took me an extra 1hr 45min I believe it will save some headache in the long run 🙂

1 Thing I could do better
-Still try to stick to timeframe even though the changes are large, because this delay caused me to do 3 hours less of deliveries, and eat in very small spaces, which made my digestive juices rise when I rode. (Note: this might also be because the lentils and quinoa have been cooked with relatively little water)

3 Things I did well no matter how small
-8 pomodoros! !! (Day 7)
-4 hrs physical activity
-dozed off for only about 15 minutes which allowed me to do a lot more job search (on table, not allowing myself to go to bed 🙂 )

1 Thing I could do better
-Write definite goals for food prep so that I may write and measure times more effectively as I used to:
Say
1. Put dishes to their places from dryer+ Get dishes prepared for meal + start eating banana (if earlier then 6:30 if not, add this to point 2.
2. Get food out of fridge
3. Weigh food apart for tahini
4. Throw out food trash, wash hands, put remaining food to fridge.
5. Pour tahini, cleanup if there's anything left + go to room

This is for breakfast.
