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.

nope, seems to have come out of nowhere.

damn wtf. brains are cool.

hah nice.

you been watching any bourdain lately? or did that somehow just pop in there?

I'm considering going vegetarian. A over 95% plant based diet....

nice do it!

throw in meat/poultry occasionally when you feel you need it. but try to go mostly non-animal products.

eventually it feels great.

occasionally i still eat meat/chicken but it's gotten to like 2x/month level. instead, mostly veggies+rice etc. feel great. highly recommend it.

i eat cheese/milk products ~1x/wk or so. pretty sure i could go no meat/chicken for a month no problem. really don't crave it at all anymore. instead, i crave peppers, veggies, and fruits. lmao.

made a spicy tomato sauce out of my tomatoes (+ cayenne pepper, red chili pepper) .. was incredible.





included some of the plants i picked from in the subsequent photos:

some more found poetry for y'all. i'm reading the mirror and the light and once in a while the author, hilary mantel, just lets it rip.

here's a bit i came across just now, with breaks added every 10 (sometimes 11) syllables and the verses separated when it shifts from third to second/first person. just to see how it looks in verse form. she rules extremely hard at writing so it's a bit of a cheat to call this found poetry, but i saw someone do it with a passage from the prequel to this book, bring up the bodies, and i got a kick out of it then. so figured i'd do the same once in a while.

Quote

Don't look back, he had told the king, yet he
too is guilty of retrospection as
the light fades, in that hour in winter or summer
before they bring in the candles, when earth
and sky melt, when the fluttering heart of
the bird on the bough calms and slows, and the
night-walking animals stir and stretch and
rouse, and the eyes of cats shine in the dark,
when color bleeds from sleeve and gown into
the darkening air; when the page grows dim
and letter forms elide and slip into other
conformations, so that as the page is
turned the old story slides from sight and a
strange and slippery confluence of ink
begins to flow.

........................ You look back into your
past and say, is this story mine; this land? Is
that flitting figure mine, that shape easing
itself through alleys, evader of the
curfew, fugitive from the day? Is this
my life, or my neighbor's conflated with
mine, or a life I have dreamed and prayed for;
is this my essence, twisting into a
taper's flame, or have I slipped the limits
of myself -- slipped into eternity, like
honey from a spoon? Have I dreamt myself,
undone myself, have I forgotten too
well[? M]y sins seek me out; even as I
slide into sleep, my past pads after me, paws
on the flagstones, pit-pat: water in a
basin of alabaster, cool in the
heat of the Florentine afternoon.
