So today I have had a special day apparently, but a good day I have had as I have done my mornings fifteen minute row with a twenty minute little treadmill jog, and then I have also done some P.E. with Joe, in the morning before I opened my presents. Why am I getting any presents today I don’t know but something happened a long long time ago on this day, I cannot remember the day but I really should be able to remember it you’d have thought. Then again I think no one can actually remember their own. So why do people celebrate it so? Tini and Mich can remember the day that I am referring to so I’m guessing that I’ll have to humour them two.

But then today I have received some quite good things, like a Tyrolean hat, which is amazing; not for any particular reason it is just my personal opinion on the hat. As I saw one whilst I was on my ski trip and I just couldn’t help myself but stare at it. So Mich decided that it would do as a gift for me for this day. Another gift that I received today was some dumbbells, which have taken pride of place in my little gym, and I got a fitness cube thingamajig which I have used as a stepper, when I had put my Tyrolean hat on so Tini could film me to send to Emu as it was Emu (and C) that got me the fitness cube. 

I also have got a Zwift device for some running so I’ll be able to run up and down Watopia on the treadmill now as well as going for rides around Watopia, plus I’ll be able to get my heart rate measured at the same time thanks to a new device that I asked for with it, which should apparently work with the cycling on Zwift as well, so that’s a bonus.

Then after all that I had been on a tandem ride with Mich which was excellent as we had managed to get thirty miles done in under two hours, Allergy said was it windy, I signified yes it was windy, then Allergy basically said that the wind must have helped us, then I corrected her the wind was in our faces for the majority of the ride. But the ride was great and it’s added onto my total of my minutes of intensity that I have done for this week so far.

Day 2236

Day 2236;pk

20.50

Breakfast: weetabix, banana, orange, apple, strawberries and yogurt.

Lunch:  chicken, broccoli, peas, carrots, green beans, stuffing, roasted potatoes, apple pie and ice-cream. 

Dinner: cheese omelette and cake.

Drinks: fruit juice, fruit squash and milky tea.

Now today has marked the end of the first week on lockdown, and it has gone by pretty well (I think), with us in the UK having less deaths than yesterday (of people with the virus) for a first time since the outbreak started, so we could say that’s one win for the UK such a shame that the new anomaly won’t be the new norm for us, however if it did then I think that we could have a little celebration on our hands. It may be enough for us to stop using that Chinese company in the construction of our 5G network. Anyway who needs a 5G network... anyone?

Today has also been a second lazy day, as I have spent the morning playing on the Switch, some switch fit game. Then in the afternoon I have had myself a row on the machine, which was fun. I only managed to get myself to 5080m today in half an hour, which was really disappointing especially because Mich got 5336m on his early today attempt. But I know s reason as to why he’s better than me at it. It was as he was saying during my row it was because I wasn’t extending my arms, well at least not for the first twenty minutes then after Mich informed me of what I was doing wrong and I attempted to rectify it which caused me more problems than it solved.

Day 2235

Day 2235;

My BMI was 19.89, steps I had taken 11,632 steps, which was only 7.53km and I had burned off 1412kcal.

Breakfast: weetabix (chocolate), banana, orange, raspberries, apple and yogurt.
Lunch: omelette (cheese) and lemon cake.
Dinner: chicken, carrots, peas, broccoli, green beans, potatoes, profiteroles and chocolate cheesecake.
Drinks: fruit juice, fruit squash, cordial and fruit tea.
Snacks: chocolate brownie bites, millionaire shortbread bites and some chocolate coins.

Now today I have had a brain wave of how I can live my life, for the foreseeable future at least. It is as I have got twenty four hours to use, so if I designate certain things to happen at certain times then I can get myself more fit. As in during the week (Monday - Friday) there’s this funny dude that goes on YouTube doing P.E., I think he’s called Joe Wicks, so I have decided to join him in doing some of the exercises in the morning but after I have had a Row on my rowing machine and a jog on the treadmill (which was a walk this morning) so then it’s a kind of cool down for me. Then I spent the rest of the morning on the Switch playing more Links Awakening, and that’s was my morning.

Now then that I did, this morning I had myself running a bit out of time  because I was wasting time which is why I have decided that I shan’t do a fifteen minute row followed by a half hour walk on the treadmill. Fifteen minute row should still be do able but the half hour no... let’s just give me a twenty minute jog on the treadmill. Then I should have enough time to get myself washed and sorted before the YouTube fitness dude comes to life. 

Day 2234

Day 2234:

My BMI of today was 19.95, I had done 10,220 steps, which was only 6.62km and I have burned off 1171kcal.

Breakfast: weetabix (chocolate), raspberries, banana, orange, blueberries, apple and yogurt.
Lunch: pie, carrots, peas, cauliflower, green beans, potatoes and something.
Dinner: chicken, carrots, noodles and something.
Drinks: fruit juice, fruit squash and milky tea.
Snack: Tunocks wafer.

So it is going to be like this then is it? At least until we have beaten this new virus, the Chung Flu. And when it’s all over in a hundred years or so long time (it was one hundred and two years since the last, the Spanish Flu) so long enough for it to be forgotten about.

But then yesterday I had a BMI of 20.15, my steps were 15,489, which was apparently 10.03km and I had burned off 1395kcal. Which was according to Wii Fit but then yesterday I was going to get another one of these blogposts up which was put a stop to by my eating of my dinner (which was pie, carrots, peas, cauliflower and green beans) basically my lunch for today. As I had another one of my phlegm episodes which Mich has taken me to the hospital for before now such a waste, but no longer I’m thinking it is viable for me to be taken to the hospital when I have another one of those phlegm episodes, at least not until this pandemic is dealt with. Which is good I think.

Then again today I have also walked up eleven floors, according to my watch. My watch also tells me that I have done 20,610 steps and my intensity minutes for this week currently stand at 595, of which I’m thinking that I did 345 minutes today so that means that it was 250 minutes yesterday. Just as we go into lockdown as a nation so the Labour Party has been saying that we haven’t gone quick enough into it? But then again wasn't it the Labour mayor of London that was saying that there’s no risk of catching the Chung Flu on a tube train (or any of London’s public transport for the matter) on a day that was something like three weeks ago. Then again today it has been reported that he has made a U-turn on that opinion.

Now I’m not sure what I’m really getting at in that tirade it’s just an observation. Like the one that I made about the Coronavirus being a better force of change in our travels across the world than Greta, who did the “How dare you” speech and frowned along with a lot of virtue signalling. Which struck up the conversation but then it did nothing more. 

Day 2233

Drinks: fruit juice, fruit squash, fruit cordial and 

Snacks: rice cake (chocolate).

Two days ago I had been on the Zwift bike and I went been on the tandem. But then before all before that I had myself a little jog on the treadmill. The ride on the Zwift bike was another one of the tour of Watopia rides but today it was the hilly course which took me a long time to do, but I had enough charge on the iPad to get the course completed which was an issue I had with it last year, but then I thought that it wasn’t until later on in the year.

Then yesterday I had been out to the local shops for reasons of “panic” buying apparently. Which is where Mich purchases twice the number of tins of beans than is necessary. Then again I noticed that this Coronavirus thingamajig has done wonders for the local industry, by that I mean the town centres which were dying in the run up to the pandemic, such a shame that it’ll never last. Also yesterday I did a little race on Zwift, it was in the Tour of Watopia stage 3. So I’ve still got two more stages to complete  I also did a little row and jog, but then again I only managed to fit in little amounts of both of the activities.

Now today I have been having a lazy morning, but I have actually put my wrist weights on for my having lazy morning. I had my breakfast and I put them on after I had my breakfast before I was set to play a bit on my Switch, as it was only on some of Link’s Awakening I don’t think that I have exercised myself enough especially as my step count for the morning was just above two hundred, before I decided to get serious and I decided to walk up the stairs a few times (my watch tells me that I had walked up fourteen flights of stairs before lunch, which was an increase of fourteen than when I had checked just after playing Link’s Awakening). I have had my lunch then I have gone for an indoor walk on the treadmill before taking the weights off (as they had got pretty sodden), so I decided to take them upstairs to the airing cupboard before I next had a ride on the Zwift bike. The ride was around NYC’s Central Park I do believe.

Day 2232

Day 2232;

Today I have been on a short walk into town and I have been on another shorter walk on the treadmill. I have also been on my rowing machine and the Zwift bike, for a ride around London.

We're a ship without a storm
Cold without the warm
Light inside the darkness lit at peace

Lyrics from “The Last In Line” by Ronnie James Dio, which is a great song by one of my personal favourite music artists; at least I believe that is a correct terminology for him. Or at least he was when he was alive, but he isn’t anymore.

I’m guessing that it’s such a mystery

We are lightning, we are flame
And we burn at the touch of a spark
When there’s no fire, if no-one sees
There is only the dark
Just imagine, will you try?
I can see that you’ve opened your mind 
Silver linings can disappear 
But they always shine 

Just some more lyrics but this time from a different one of Dio’s songs, they were from the song called mystery.

Well I plan on doing some more exercises tomorrow but I am unsure of what I am going to get done tomorrow, as I’m thinking that Mich is planning on getting out on the tandem tomorrow. If work isn’t too hectic for him that will probably be, as there’s that Coronavirus thingamajig which is doing the rounds recently hasn’t there?

Day 2231

Day 2231;

Today I had a BMI of 20.80, Wii Fit results are as follows; steps 10,184, distance walked 6.59, 1059kcal burned off.

Breakfast: weetabix, banana, orange, apple and strawberries.

Lunch: fried egg, baked beans, rice cake and two little cakes.

Dinner: spaghetti Bolognese and chocolate cheesecake.

Drinks: fruit squash and fruit tea.

Snacks: well there was two cake little foodstuffs that I had and Jaffa cakes.

So I know a man that has walked 25 miles the other night, how long should it take how far can this man walk in an hour? As I had done a little treadmill walk today, I managed to walk 6.5km in the hour, according to the treadmill. So let’s just agree that 1.6km equals a mile, now have we agreed? I’ll just go along with it anyway. 3*1.6=4.8 and 5*1.6=8 so then 4*1.6=6.4. Now with that being that I walked at slightly quicker than 4mph so it I was to walk at that speed for six hours I would probably be somewhere within sight of the finish line. But then that’s on the flat, it was done inside and it’s me (freak) but my watch only says that I have done 3miles of walking in that hour so that means that I may have walked about 3mph which has me at 24miles in 8hours, so that should mean that I would probably have done his walk in 9hours. But then again I’m saying that it’d probably take me about 10hours to walk 25miles as I’d probably get lost along time way and stuff, and the time that he started his walk should mean that it took him longer still as it was late at night so he’d probably have to get in some shut eye. So anyway what I’m attempting to state is that he has my respect. I’m wondering how quick we could go on a tandem together, with me as the stoker, with his impressive sense of direction also it could be something else; if I don’t slow him down too much- which in fairness I shouldn’t as when we did the ride 100miles in an hour ride around a track Mich and I beat him (as he was on his own).

As I was the other day wondering how to get myself swimming again, I thought that I should probably go into some more detail on some of what I had typed the other day. As I typed that I had no memory of the incident with the cars actually happening, as my last memory was one of me having a fight with my parents on a night and storming upstairs to my room I believe that my father had even hit me on this occasion, so I believe that this time I must have done something really bad. But then again it didn’t hurt, I could have never high on some naturally occurring drug (like adrenaline) at the time. It was the first time that I had been hit by him sure I had been hit by my mother on numerous occasions before but as it was my father, my first (from him) and it didn’t feel like I had been hit at all. I was getting disillusioned. So much so that when I had been sent to bed I couldn’t sleep. So I did the old trick of strangulation to get myself to sleep, I know it may be one of my suicidal tendencies but don’t try this one out for yourselves kids or adults, but the principle goes like this if you strangle yourself with your hands then you should only be strangling yourself when you’re conscious so then after a while when you knock yourself out your hands should release then you should be asleep. So that was the principle it rarely if ever worked with me. But then again I was like even if it doesn’t work what’s the best that could happen? I could die. What’s the worst that could happen? I could live, which is the default anyway so I might as well go through with it. Anyway I fell asleep and the next morning it wasn’t the next morning, I woke up in a strange place which I ended up calling Jailey. 

Now recently, I don’t know how recently in reality but fast forward quite a bit from what I was stating happened something like 13 years back I have learned that the girl that I apparently loved was from Sri Lanka but who’s mother was Russian, so it’s not only these foreign women that I have a thing for, but more especially Russian women or the descents of them that I have a thing for, never minding that my only “official” girlfriend has been from a small town which is next to the town that I live in. Such a shame that I never understood what I was supposed to do as her boyfriend. Why do I consist on wallowing in the pity of my failures? I’ve got to have done something within this life.
