Today was a nice day. I got my workout in, a pull day. Pull workouts work mostly the back and biceps.

I kind of tweaked my lower back when I first got the Fitbod app. Not sure what I did to cause it. I’m blaming it on either the superman stupid exercise or the plank stupider exercise. I exclude them now, I’d rather work that area a little differently.

I’m not sure this challenge is really a challenge as much as it is, just me being me. I was thinking about that earlier today. What am I doing differently? I think it’s more staying on track and not letting the world interfere.

Overcoming, standing firm, not letting people bully me, trying to dictate to me who I am, as though who I am is some sort of disease. Yes, life and the sorry people in it can be this sad.

So I guess this challenge is more about being me, all me. I like that.

I’ve been trying to follow a mostly meat carnivore diet since last October 2020. I’m going to start adding in more vegetables. I kind of miss the flavors and variety of some of them. Some veggies I found out are horrible because of antinutrients like the oxalates in spinach. I used to eat spinach daily, now I wish I never touched it.

I’m going to add lettuce, tomato, and onion to my diet. I can do a lot with those. I’m still staying away from grains, and now I’m making a point not to even have barley juice, aka beer until this challenge is over. I’ve gone years without it, so it’s nothing to write home about.

I like using chaffles for my “bread”. It’s just an egg and a couple of ounces of cheese in the waffle maker. You can use any cheese you want. I like Colby jack. Sometimes I add a little protein powder, like 10 grams or so to make it a little stiffer.

I’m sticking with the Fitbod App. I don’t know if I’ll renew my subscription after a year. I like the Fitnotes App, I’ve used it for years and maybe I’ll try the Strong App.

Bedtime is 10 pm. I’m going to read with my Kindle no other devices are allowed. My sleep has been really poor lately, and even worse when I use an iPad, I don’t know why that would be.

Those are the main things. I have certain supplements I take, and dental hygiene rituals, electrolyte drinks, and recipes that I’ll add as I go along.

I like reading anything about health, so I’m going to make a book section to list those. I’m so glad I’ve found how to really take care of my body. I’ve had to go against the grain to do it. When I was younger I was eating steak and people would say it’s unhealthy. I did the low-fat thing in the ’80s and ’90s which explains a lot of my depression issues from back then. I have no problems with anything like that anymore.

And of course, anytime I do my own thing and to hell with the world, I’m fucking happy. And if you look at the world right now, they aren’t doing what I’m doing, that’s for sure. The world is very sad and very crazy.
