NEW VIDEO: Why You MUST Quit Gaming in 2025

Recommended Posts

Posted

Food Schedule Update 6.6-19.6 (Not including 19.6) By the way it's a miscalculation that it's 'till 6.6 but I'll go with it.
Everything remains the same apart from
1. 2 oranges instead of one on Fridays, because they were smaller at the store
2. coconut oil - added 15g to non running days - total 45 (that is because I dropped amost 1 kg since my last bi weekly measurement and i was underweight already then. Plus I'm adding a bit more duration to my runs
30 at non-running days(Instead of 60g olive oil), 60 on running days (replacing 45 coconut oil and 60g olive oil), meaning Sundays usually
4. The moving of meals for Monday with the run and a half I am to keep as it is for now, I do not want to reduce the calories when I do two workouts before eating a new meal, I'd want to have the meal the closest to the fast day when i have two workouts without eating afterwards
5. Almonds 10 more grams everyday because I'm increasing the running amount
6. Pears may be replaced one for one with apples because they were left since two weeks ago where I accidentally didn't included them and decided not to eat them because of it
7. Raisins may be replaced one for one with cranberries. since they're about to run out
8. Quinoa 40 grams replaces lentils and on the next week 70g lentils replaces 40g quinoa
9. If there is something I simply didn't write but was planning, I allow myself 'till friday for clarifications

I wanted to do this for about a week now so here it is - A new metric to look at.
https://www.failflow.com/weeksuntil/2078-08-17
The day I am projected to be 80 years old, more or less the average life expectancy for people born in Israel according to this website:
https://labs.coruscantconsulting.co.uk/life/weeks/
is: 2775 Weeks away. I'd like to keep that metric in mind by posting it here. The weekday I was born is Monday, so I should update it every Monday.

Well done on cooking and consuming breakfast within 45 minutes.

I'm so lazy, I just eat an egg, a banana or some nuts for breakfast. Been trying to eat at least 65g protein a day. Today I ate maybe 46g. Might add a "sticking to food schedule" tracker on my journal too.

- 4 Concentrated work units (No food)
- Morning workout before the 2 meetings
- Recovering my pomodoro detailed review document for the last 3 days that i missed it.

1 Thing I could do better
- Be more concentrated during breakfast and it is not necessary to cut with a knife I can keep doing it with teeth to save time, so long as the apartment mate didn't tell me he wants to use it too, then I'll cut with a knife and even then possibly not, since he might want to wash it anyway before using it.

Maybe you can start tracking your food. (Including a weightscale, or maybe even not including a weightscale for starters) it will allow you to treat nutrition like a game or like a scientist, once you see the effects of what you eat on your body and connect them. I also use cronometer.com to see how well I'm doing on all the nutrients.

By the way, I think my comment to you on May 29th made me recognize I was eating and studying together and helped trigger my change in this aspect, which in turn brought me to pain of few focus units and then getting a mixer. So thank you for that.

Weeks until average life expectancy: 2774 
Some highlights this week:

Driving
: 3 Lessons, but I feel scattered liek I just fall into the lessons, don't know what i'm supposed to learn, and how long I have until being prepared for the exam. Got to insist on having a focused plan explained to me by my teacher.
Time wealth: Got a mixer and cut my food consumption time in 40 minues or so
Learning German: Attended a meeting at a language university with a person to direct me towards better learning of German, but still not decided on my correct platform
Probably the most important thing however this week is to realize what exactly are the requirements for a self-employment visa.

Day 580: Eating Only between 06:30 and 19:00 (Last bite before 19:00)
Day 128: Being in bed before 23:15

3 Things I did well, no matter how small 
- Came to the lesson at the school 10 minutes in advance
- Stopped drinking water 1 hour before bed
- Replaced mixer because it wasn't working

1 Thing I could do better
- Finish evening routine 30 minutes before bed and the last 30 read some book to have a buffer and make sure I adhere to the 8 hrs of sleep timeframe

1 Thing I could do better

- Less chitchat during the untying of my bycicle at the driving school and when coming back home. Remember "The inches we need are everywhere aroudn us, they're in every step of the game, every moment, every second. I mean, half a second too late and you don't quite make it, half a second too early and you don't quite catch it." Hit the gas, even in the end of the day 🙂

7. Raisins may be replaced one for one with cranberries. since they're about to run out
8. Quinoa 40 grams replaces lentils and on the next week 70g lentils replaces 40g quinoa
9. If there is something I simply didn't write but was planning, I allow myself 'till friday for clarifications

Food schedule 19.6 - 3.7 (Not including 3.7 - Thursday):
Everything remains the same except for
1. 1 Orange instead of 2
2. Almonds 10 more grams increase
3. Raisins to be replaced one for one with dates. (Quinoa and lentils to be cooked as earlier with 10g raisins and 17g cranberries per day)
4. Quinoa and lentils 60g quinoa per day and 35g lentils I think they're both important so I decided to leave them both however I've gone over the upper manganese limit with all the almonds, so I reduced lentils, it seems all my protein needs should still be met. Especially taking into account that i replaced the lentils with 20g quinoa
5. Reduced potato intake by 50g now it's 300g, also to accomodate for mangnese under 11mg upper limit
It seems that the overall calory count remains the same taking into account the reduction of potatoes and that quinoa is 50 calories less than the replaced lentils.... (Potatoes 40 calories less) and almonds added only 60 more calories so I increased dates to 75g
6. Dates to 75g instead of 60 this adds additional 42 calories which means everything is even now
7. raised coconut oil to 50g to give another 45 calorie boost leaving me at an overall 45 calorie surplus to accomodate for my activity increase

Summary for myself
-1 Orange
-Almonds (+30 at lunch and dinner each)
-Dates 75g 
-Quinoa 60g
-Lentils 35g
-Potato 300g
-Coconut oil 50g

Once more If there is something I simply didn't write but was planning, I allow myself 'till Friday for clarifications

Clarification same day: Till lentils run out, old standard of previous entry applies
Clarification same day 2: (10:12 am) Potatoes are also to be used as is until they run out
