Hiked few time about 12 km/day while in South Africa. Joyful, slow pace.
Back now home. Ready to have a daily routine.
This break was all I needed to re-focus, de-stress from work routine and keep all in perspective. Motivated !
Below few pics taken along the hike
Hiking in South Africa
Food
Just in target in term of calories. It’s like managing a budget, mine being 1’800 kCal/d.
Workout
Got a report to finish till late tonight. Will just do the small walk. A longer walk will be made tomorrow.
EDIT:
Average last 7 days
Motivation
That one is high. I will move to a new flat month end. Expecting the real change from then. I will have more space and could have a steady bike or a treadmill. That will have a real impact. I’m not planing for now going to a fitness due to covid lockdown popping randomly. But in a second phase, the plan is definitely to join a gym center and build muscles.
Ending a busy week. No excuses. Could have make time to do more workouts.
Need to do more sport. 30min a day out of 23.5h either sitting or sleeping can’t be enough.
It is so surprising that doing so little have measurable effects through.
The routine is here at least and the next step is to add more and do better. Progress matter. Not really the case at the moment. That blog can’t describe the same day again and again. But have the successful journey that I would like to have. Motivated!
Food
Nothing glorious here. First cheating day. The price is high..
Nothing outstanding to report. Diet was fine. Just woke up the night to greet the fridge.
Planning having 3 workout a day: morning, noon and evening.
Tomorrow probably. Still, just 30 min/d have an effect on the resting heartbeat rate.

Few words
From tomorrow planning 30min walk at 7am, 12am and 6pm, 30min only being a bit too short 😉
Health already improving after 1 week, doing so little changes!
It’s so easy after all. Bonus: 0 tiredness anymore!
Busy day visiting 4 flats 300km roundtrip away. Would rate my diet today to 4/10 due to eating along the way. Small walk, slightly faster than yesterday.
As results needs goals and metrics:
6 months goals (mid term)
Actions taken to get there
Took 1 week off to sort out all those pending things I have in my todo list.
But spent the 4 first days sleeping. A tiredness that I never experimented.
Told myself something should be wrong in my lifestyle. So before thinking the very bad things the first link on Google will return, I tried to guess. And in my guess list, came:
So after waking up at noon today, I went to the supermarket and bought only green unprocessed stuff and fish.
The criteria was: if it has more than 2 g of sugar per 100 g, its a no. Same if it is processed food. So I ended up with the groceries above.
Then I opened the shelve and took the vitamins I found and bought during my last trip in South Africa:
There is nothing scientifically proven here, but 4-5h later, I felt much more energetic to the point that I have plan my day for tomorrow and wrote this page.
As a diabetic, I haven’t regularly check my blood sugar much this year, which is bad. Few check earlier this year showed 29.1 mmol/L (524 mg/dl) which is very high, as people will get hospitalised at 19 mmol/L (342 mg/dl) if I’m not mistaken.
My weight is 119.5 kg. It went even to 127 kg 2 months ago..
So tomorrow, wake up 7am. Will buy a simple smart watch probably, as the one I was having doesn’t start anymore. Then a walk. And from now, keeping up with the diet.
Well did a blood glucose test for future reference while writing this page. 18.9 mmol/L (340 mg/dl)
So the goal is simple: healthy diet full time, daily routine exercising, 7h min of sleep a day.
I’m not willing to post about diabetes generally speaking. So this blog will remain about the journey it took to get healthy, with evidences on BP, blood sugar, weight, exercising and overall feeling.
