I better make these pauses at least so that I have documented how I use my time

Food Schedule Update (3.09-17.09) not including 17.9

Everything remains the same, apart for some adjustments because there were things lacking at the store or too expensive or it was unreasonable to buy them for 3 days, like a whole big cabbage... and also the next purchase is going to be in an unfamiliar place again
so starting 6.9 i allow myself to have one more change till the 9.9

so for now the additions are - 150g peas instead of 130|

70g lentils instead of 40g quinoa

60g raisins instead of dates

60g peeled edamame insted of shelled

oranges instead of apple and cabbage

all the rest remains the same

 

all this is to be reversed once I'm back in Spain unless something unexpected occurs during the grocery purchase yet again (Since there were a lot of changes, I allow myself to write updates here during the first breakfast i make during this plan and lunch, just in case i made any errors and forgot to mention something, if not, it holds.,

 

Changes after purchase in England - 07-september

-35g dry lentils equals 100g of shelled edamame or 60g of peeled edamame allowed to be interchanged since the store didn't have edamame

-peaas 170g a day allowed

-oil is some sort o combined oil not clearly olie oil 1 per 1

-2 tomatoes allowed instead of 1

-1 and a half carrots are allowed instead of 1

-bananas up to 2 allowed

Hopefully I didn't forget anything... if I did - today may still add critical changes

Changes after purchase in Spain - 11-September (Although purchase was made on 10th)
The only thing that needs to be changed is that instead of an orange I may eat 1 grapefruit + cucumbers will be eaten half a day since they were larger..

-27 hour-ish fast
-4 pomodoros at the very least
-Devoted 1 hour to deciding  whether join SPI's All Access Pass because of their promotion, even though I decided negatively
1 thing I could do better
-Drink more water, I think the fact I have been fasting with the added fact that I forgot to drink water after workout added up into a lot worst of a decision making on top of me being in another country of course. It took me around 3 hours to do groceries instead of the planned 1.5 hours (Including commutes)

1 thing I could do better
-i think it's been enough time i've been journaliong the next day for the previous one, the best way to do it is journal in the evening at the end of the day + make sure the next day is completely planned before starting it. not only half way

Pre-Entry Note:
Focus on changing food schedule more frequently until I see a reduction in after breakfast sleepiness, possibly doing weekly check in my bi-weekly plan (Including changing the bi-weekly plan now too of course, I should've done it a long time ago, as I need less calories and am lacking Iodine because i didn't find cranberries, Vitamin D 'cause I reversed my sitting in sun habit, but didn't reinitiate my Portobello eating, Iron and Calcium I suppose cause I replaced Tahini which I didn't find in store with peanut butter. And possibly need to reduce brazil nuts which I increased to finish them before flight but- didn't restore to original, among other things which I possibly do not exactly recall now

3 Things I did well no matter how small
-2hr 20 min run light into a completely unknown place with lots of turns, and managing to remember how to return 😉
-12 pomodoros at least =/
-Call with channel jumpstart for a potential educational program/course

 

1 thing I could do  better
-The results of weekly food plan seem to show I do't need that mny calories, but I'm underweight the last time I checked... Need to ask my apartment mate if he has a weightscale to re-check myself. If I am indeed underweight than need to take that into account, and If I reduce calorie intake watch my weight closely so as not to disappear.


Free text: 
-for now it seems I'll reduce 120g of peanut butter and eat 30g tahini instead, we'll see.
-need to find a place to order cranberries for cheap
- and what vitamin d source to take or a routine of sun exposure.
-Also need to check if the chlorella i've been consuming works for B-12 va a blood test

3 Things I did well no matter how small
-Morning workout
-17 pomodoros
-23.5 hrs fast

 

1 thing I could do  better
-write detailed food schedule (actually there are not so many changes but I think I'll just go for 60grams of peanut butter at breakffast instead of 120g, and keep track of y weight so as not to disappear, cause i consume 1500 cals on breakfast and 800-900 in other meals so it seems that could very well be the reason i feel extremely sleepy after breakfast, but do I really need those calories (I do run half marathons on high/low intensity variating 3 times a week but how much calories do I really need for it?

Food schedule update 17.9-1.10 (not including 1.10)
 For now everything stays the same, BUT on 24.9 I'll make a purchase and look for replacements of Iodine, vitamin D and Tahini instead of pnb.(I may then change the plan accordingly seeing whether I'm still underweight and checking out different store options) Also I plan to take a blood test before then(24.9) and weigh myself at my new medical insurance branch
(Need to find it first 😉)
