Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: a fast and explosive donkey!
« on: October 28, 2015, 10:51:52 am »haha thanks vag. i wonder what my peak day has been in terms of views. average is about 45/day.
Actually, i have been logging the views statistics for 2 years now, started doing it when i was afraid the forum would die to see the trend but still keep it, for fun. Unfortunately, i am not OCD enough to do it daily, i log them weekly.
So, long story short, our views are fake. They were normal till June 2014 ( 100-300 views per week each ) but then they suddenly doubled-tribled and they stayed like this till today. It didn't happen linearly but literally overnight. Probably bots. For example, entropy's previous journal still gets an average of 500 views per week. Flander's journal ( before he came back ) was 0-5 views , then ( while he still had not came back ) shot up to 200. An active journal's average now is 500-800 views per week. You get the picture.
For the record, in the first week of March 2015 you had a crazy spike of 1780 views which is your highest. Not just you, those spikes apply to everyone ( me and raptor had ~1600 that week ). Next week all back to normal. Happens every 2-3 months, no idea what it is. The biggest spike recorded was mine ( 2200, dafuq? ) , entropy and you also spiked at ~1400 that week.
hah nice.

WRECKED. every time I start increasing the speed of my running, my body dies, especially my toes & calves. :F
I got some "special running socks" today, hoping they help with the blisters. They are light weight and supposedly "anti friction". I might have to put bandaids on my toes (it's helped way back).. hoping I don't have to do that though.
Finally, I really need to figure out how to wake up in the morning.. Tennis/Running in the AM vs PM is vastly different. My body doesn't feel awake in the morning, and I end up moving/swinging in ways that make no sense. Long ago (hehe), when I dunked, caffeine would wake me up in the morning. Since i'm caffeine free (for probably a year now), I need to figure something else out. For now, i'm thinking of:
- waking up earlier (and sleeping earlier)
- cold shower
- jump rope
Oh also I'm going to be eating more bananas and adding salt to my beverages.
Unfortunately I may not run until after this tennis tournament. I'd love to "feel good" during this tourney.

Oh well, I'm not a big fan of the processed meats tbh, once in awhile but I used speedy sauce on chicken this weekend and it made it bearable to eat so I guess I can stick with that.
Also, part of my lower lip is twitching...idk its weird
red meat (steak/burgers) is the only thing on that list that I really eat. I'm eating much less meat lately tho, feels good. If I had been food journaling before I quit my job, you'd see beef daily (basically). eek

Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: Party's Over!
« on: October 26, 2015, 10:58:35 pm »This will be my new journal now!
Basically for the last 2 years I've been slack and let the 9-5 life take over. I've gotten fat and lazy and want to get back to living a healthy lifestyle again. I'm still not going to go back to the gym because I don't enjoy it and life is too short to waste time doing stuff you don't want to do. However, I will be doing body weight exercises, playing basketball, and doing cardio through tempos/sprints. Most importantly I am modifying my diet by not overeating and limiting the amount of fast food I eat.
Current Weight- 96KG
Waist- 43 inches above the belly button/40 inches below the belly button.
Goals-
Lose weight & have a healthier lifestyle.
nice man, sounds like you're about to get really serious & keep things simple. good combo.
looking forward to the progress.
pC!
