Workout: What did you do today?

Eating five times will take some getting used to. I'm so programmed and in the habit of just three times and keeping an eye on my carb intake being diabetic.

Work your way up to it.

Start with just adding a pot of Skyr before bed.

Also cut/watch your carbs. Increase veg. Just common sense stuff tbh.

What do you drink? You get a shit load of sugar and calories in basically anything that isn't water or tea.

[DJChameleon]

I drink mostly water with the occasional green tea from mixes.

Yeah I know how easily drinks can screw with my blood sugar. I stay away from sodas and certain juices because of it unless I'm sick. I like to partake in OJ but it's mostly water.

For protein supplements, there was a study recently on the trace amounts of contaminants. Maybe I can find it. Anyways, most worrying may be lead which was present at levels it shouldn't be in some products. Generally, plant based proteins were worse in terms of metals, so avoid those. Chocolate contains cadmium so you might want to avoid eating that on a daily basis. And a lot of these products are sweetened with sucralose which may not be the safest sweeteners.

Although it doesn't guarantee success or safety, it seems neutral / not flavored whey based protein may be the generally safest / healthiest, at least if you end up eating protein supplements daily for years.

I couldn't eat the same meal four times a day.

My mate knows someone who eats 1kg of beef mince and half a kilo of peas every day and hasn't strayed from that for years.

I've been thinking of giving it a go at some point.

the other side to that is if you have to eat six times per day and every two hours it is easier to prep enough for the whole day and portion it out.

I  use to have eggs and oatmeal in the morning and alternate during the next 5 meals with beef/chicken/rice/potato so much work.

I'm lazy now.

20 more miles to go
I did 7 miles today, going for another 3/4 later but Platinum Club in the Nike app of 100 miles in one month isn't as easy as it sounds. I did a few runs with the Nike app uninstalled the first week on this month that didn't count but it's all good, I'll get this 20 miles in the next few days. I'll fucking run non-stop the last day if I have to lol

I would love to get into running again. Those are great figures, Mindy.

For a marathon, the trick is to not start out too fast. If you can start at 6.5 mph and maintain that speed for the whole 26 miles, then you'll complete it in 4 hours which is very respectable. My PB is 3 hours 51 minutes. Would have loved to have got down to 3 hours 30 minutes but my body just couldn't do it.
