Today’s Workout: More Food Prep Experiments

I think I’m doing pretty well with the biking. 40 minutes is a reasonable length I can pull off during a webinar or something and luckily nobody minds if I do the peddler as long as I get my work done. In fact, most of the people I work with think it’s a fantastic idea. I still need to do more body weight work but, I’ll get there. It’s fine.

I finally fucking remembered to bring an orange for lunch! Geez, they’re right there in the damn kitchen in my face. You’d think it wouldn’t be that hard. But aside for that, I decided to give green beans a try in the Itaki and holy shit, it was amazing! The meat I used was a wagyu beef patty that I just broke up and let sit in the sauce till lunch time and I’ve also enjoyed putting some sliced up ginger in the meal. It gives a nice little punch that I like. For dinner, I was so damn tired that I just grabbed a portion of the pulled pork I’d made from the freezer and had that with some rice. Fast and simple was the name of the game by the end of the day.

Today’s Workout: Easing into it

wp-17363409027072662623244676772843

Ahhhhh yes, I’m back on my bullshit. My knee is feeling better and I’m itching to be active again. I’m starting off easy with my desk peddler because the last thing I need in my life right now is to injure myself… Again. I look forward to running but I don’t wanna end up taking myself out. I do plan on foot surgery this year so, I’d like to lose as much weight as possible to prepare for when I literally won’t be able to walk very well for a few weeks.

I’m back to my Itaki at work. I did get myself their ramen pot for Yule and I can’t wait to try it out. I’d love to do some soup and steamed vegetables in that one day but in the meantime. I’m sticking to what I know. I like to try out new devices at home before I bring them to work just in case it’s not suitable for whatever reason or another.

Today’s Workout: Not Fun

I’ve been taking it easy because I ended up with food poisoning on Sunday night after work. I usually am able to make a take out order last three days so, I didn’t think it was a big deal to heat up my leftover Chinese from Fritday before I went to work on Sunday. By the end of the night, I was vomiting. It got so bad, I couldn’t even hold down stomach meds to stop the vomiting. I ended up staying home from work Monday and clearly not doing any running or biking. I could barely stand up straight from the painful gas buildup. I feel better not and did another body weight workout with Zombies Run. I have to say, this is the first mission that made me actively dislike Sam. He’s always been my favorite and here he’s just the worst.

I was able to hold down my normal type of food and stay around 1,000 calories even without the Saxenda. There was NO WAY I was going to deal with the side effects of that AND food poisoning. No fucking thank you. The pasta was really comforting for dinner after all the stomach issues. I tried this with the lemon-flavored olive oil from Trader Joe’s and it was SO good. It ain’t cheap but it’s good. I will absolutely keep getting it as long as they don’t discontinue it.

Today’s Workout: Disassociate

I don’t have much so say. What is there to say? I guess I better make sure I get all my medical stuff in order as soon as possible.

I tried to time making dinner around my run. Yeah, it’s a salad but I made food tor my kid and for tomorrow. Honestly, I wasn’t very hungry.

Today’s Workout: I like this idea

wp-17307667601487206756977005068393

I like the idea of having body weight exercise days in-between running days. I do need to get back to running since I’m feeling so much better from NYCC (and it will help me disassociate tomorrow) I can resume running whatever days I can. I’m exhausted from all the overtime I’ve been doing as well as adding more to Patreon, and doing needlework… I’ve been pretty damn busy.

I had a the pumpkin biscotti for breakfast, my Itaki for lunch, and because I’m a petty bitch and my child won’t help me by doing dishes, I made myself a bacon grilled cheese that I did photograph but my phone decided I didn’t really need it. Of course, there’s plenty of already cooked food and other things they can eat. I’m not a monster, I’m just really fucking annoyed. I own a dishwasher. It’s not that fricking hard and I’m the type of parent to pay for chores. It’s an easy win that this teenager refuses to take and I end up with so much more work I don’t need. Oh, but I’m sure they’ll be begging me to earn some once Call of Duty drops some nonsense they want me to pay for.

Today’s “Workout” : NYCC Day One

wp-17292031511661964153625081779723

The first day is always the step heavy day. It’s Educator’s Day so, there’s plenty of panels I have to go to. I also forgot my water bottle at one of the panels and had to run back to it, two floors up, to get it back. You may think that’s an ordeal to bother with but my water bottle is a Cupple with a Nuvoe in it. That’s an expensive bottle to replace.

Not sponsored, by the way.

Today’s pictures aren’t all that interesting. I went to several panels but Ask a Comics Librarian was the only one that had a decent picture for me to grab. I am excited for the Little Nightmares game. I love the lore of this game even though I suck at playing games

I didn’t dress up. This was my comfy “professional” day. Tomorrow will be interesting, considering I’m already sore and exhausted. Now, I have to finish the prop I should have finished MONTHS ago tonight…

Today’s Workou: Your turn, Sweatcoin

With NYCC this week, I am not running. I don’t run on convention weeks because I will spend multiple days in a row on my feet and I don’t wanna chance messing up said feet before I go. So, regular walking and stationary bike it is.

Now, I have whined a lot about how Google Fit makes my steps vanish but I rarely talk about the other apps I use. Up on the chopping block today is Sweatcoin and their “boost” feature.

It was from my last run. I managed to snag it before it calculated what my bonus will be. Usually, I average 3k steps for a 30-minute run but as you can see, there’s my step count, right?

Aaaaand, here’s my bonus. As you can see, there are slightly less than 2600 steps. I can understand adjusting for people who just shake their phones to get steps but come on. That’s just rediculous.

I’m still into the Kind bars for breakfast. I’m not gonna keep taking pics of them. That’s boring. For lunch, I brought my leftover steak, potatoes, and baked veggies and for dinner, I had a craving for tuna and pasta. I like it with olive oil and lemon juice like a salad. I’m off the Saxenda right now because I am NOT chancing the side effects kicking in while I’m in the middle of a convention center or on the train. Noooooo way. I did eat a little more than while on the medication but still around the 1200 mark. Not too terrible. I think it was a good day.
