« on: April 11, 2020, 08:43:41 pm »yeah its actually been reasonably well managed at my hospital(massive expansion of ICU/ventilator availability + staffing this with adequately skilled people) and my area isn't the worst hit (but up there after london). but saying that we are openly starting to struggle now, staff are tired and being asked to learn new skills quickly i.e. nurses learning how to be ICU nurses on the job basically. people are walking around with their face bleeding from open sores from the PPE also, its grim.
nobody has seen anything like this before, its killing 50% of ICU patients according to latest data here and in a brutal way with patients totally isolated from their loved ones surrounded by people in space suits.
at the moment i'm failing fit tests for the masks available so i'm currently not in the covid land (having sacrificed my beard of over 5 years), which is actually frustrating because working in that environment with all that equipment is really physically demanding and not being able to help the team sucks. Now moving onto the 'rest week' of our fixed rota designed to stop us all just completely burning out. Hopefully the weather is going to stay nice and can get some nice peaceful socially distanced runs in.
stay safe everyone.
fu*k. respect to you & your team/colleagues, that is some crazy stuff.
stay safe man.

Today 15km bike ride home from work + 7.4k easy run at dusk
Going to be taking things very easy with training over the next few weeks with lots of easy runs. looking forward to it really, i've been putting my body through gym workouts consistently for years so maybe its time for a break other than some body weight stuff. hopefully not gonna lose too many gains.
Anyway -
yea man take it ez for a bit.

something just didn't seem right w/ the moth.. so i've been researching it, and i think I found it: it needed something to climb, otherwise it can become crippled.
as soon as i read that, I ran out, found a twig, propped it up in there, and helped it climb up the twig. it kept falling off until finally, it started hanging on good, and climbed up. now it's just hanging from there. so I think that was the missing ingredient.. it just needed to do some "pullup holds" to strengthen it's arms, and let it's wings expand etc.
now i'm feeling better about it survivng. whew.

When the butterfly or moth is about to emerge from its pupa, which may be several days or several months later, generally this will be signaled by a color change a few hours ahead of time. The emergence is very rapid (turn away and you may miss it), but afterwards the adult will spend a couple of hours stretching out and drying its wings. Amazingly, the adult does this by pumping blood through the veins in the wings, but then sucks the blood back into its body so the veins become hollow air-filled tubes – that’s why butterfly wings don’t bleed when they get torn. It will need something to crawl up and hang from during this process so the wings can fully expand, or it may be crippled. you should provide a twig or other rough-textured vertical surface suitable for climbing – at a pinch a crumpled paper towel in the container can provide enough clearance.

« on: April 09, 2020, 08:49:14 pm »yeah as i've transitioned into being mostly vegetarian i'm starting to wonder about my protein intake. should probably journal it out for a while to make sure i'm not shortchanging myself. was never an issue when i was eating meat or fish every day.
i haven't found myself missing extra protein sources at all, but i'm also not trying to put on/maintain mass. though, without as much physical activity, i had gotten up to 157 just eating veggies/rice/occasional milkshakes. without milkshakes & eating alot less (mostly what i grow + rice or pasta), back down to 145. can't feel any difference with/without protein.
i actually got some protein supplements because of the recent craziness, only used it a few times. feels completely useless.
beyond that, i'd eat a ton more veggies/fruit if i had them. would love to see how i'd feel eating way more fresh veggies/fruit right off the tree. predict it'd be incredible.

Morning BW - 66.5
Notes
Rest day today.
Have to say, despite low calories, recovery has been really good lately. I think that's probably mostly to do with really focussing on protein intake, can imagine I was usually just getting like 50g a day, maybe 70 on days I had a shake, before this.

« on: April 08, 2020, 10:57:59 pm »The workouts are based off of Jay Schroeder's stuff.....I know he gets some hate around here, but I'm enjoying them so far.
They are a lot harder than I thought they would be, but part of that is my work capacity is shit.
he gets hate for embellishing and trying to be a cult leader, but i guess that's his nature.
he's got some great ideas though. i imagine most people here who know about him, respect his knowledge/ideas/application but just can't stand his embellishments. if he just didn't lie, at all, he'd be solid. but he's lied alot over the years. odd how some people can be brilliant but also ruin their credibility. and by ruining their credibility, dilute their message + derail their own knowledge & experience. but yea, he's got some very interesting ideas.
looking forward to see how those workouts progress.
