    Been stuck in the same spot at 404/401 for 30 mins

    There are 2 buses stuck on our street since 6am. One of them is clearly blocking the only street entrance.

    Running.. ugghh

    I'm pretty happy with what I got. It will be super tight fit if I need to buy a small squat rack. Otherwise I got the bar and bench to use it with already. I can do decent routine. No wasting time getting to and from. Unfortunately no space for treadmill. But because gyms are an option...

    Running.. ugghh

    The struggles of home gym are real 🤣🤣🤣 On side note, I've got neck muscle injury a month ago, and using the bar wasn't best decision.

    Running.. ugghh

    Cycling is so boring, prefer 2 wheels with an engine 🙂 But I could only fit stationary bike at home and have to Netflix, online shop, Facebook, etc to get through it. End of the day it's just to burn calories, the weights come in separately. So I don't see the point paying for classes. But I...

    Running.. ugghh

    Tonight went back to treadmill running after brief house arrest post vacation. Was only gone a week, and the 5k was a non fun mini struggle. I'm sure I'll be back at it in no time.

    Food prices

    Food prices go up every winter. My diet is specific, plus shopping just for me and the lizard, that I haven’t seen increase in all items yet. But it’s coming. I should be managing my food waste a bit more carefully though. Sometimes I buy stuff on sale or bulk and forget about it until it’s...

    Obesity

    “All diets work at first because they make you think about what you're eating. Almost all of them fail because people get tired of the routine.” I think this is partially true. But eating bad is also a routine. The key is to adapt and manage the chosen routine better.

    Obesity

    My 💡 moment to better managing my weight was macro tracking. Carbs been my downfall since becoming veggie 20+ years ago. Anytime I go overboard on eating it’s carbs, and my protein intake is too low for that day. Focusing on rebalancing the macros takes away from that diet mentality. I have...

    Running.. ugghh

    So I went from treadmill runner to outdoor runner in full 180. Had 3 runs on treadmill since reopening, mainly curious about my speed or when rain/too hot. However my running time is 11-2am avoids most obstacles. In fact have to force time off running now. Fall and winter won’t be good for me.

    Parking downtown

    And in tonight’s downtown parking files after leaving work; a guy hiding behind bike pants down, goes back to car and speeds away with buddy. At least his aim was decent and not at the bike but the grate underneath. I’m starting to think I shouldn’t park at that exact spot again. I’m aiming for...

    Who's dreaming up something big for next year?

    My mom would be happy to tag along. She's been wanting to visit my brother there. My concern since pandemic is contact tracing/exposure and need to isolate after plane ride. That would exceed my vacation time than riding across solo. I would be put on ei or for those 2 weeks. Also I...

    Parking downtown

    Actually an old fart in his late 60's maybe I have another recent parking story of a bike parking this close (like that car) to my bike, in a nearly empty parking lot. 4 cars in a big Metro plaza parking lot in total, on the other side of the lot. However, he parked parallel to me in same spot...

    Parking downtown

    I'm just moving on from this. However I added the non emergency number into my phone directory, so next time there's confrontation of such (cause Toronto) I'll just call the cops while recording the issue. I'm sure they would've at least ticketed his illegal plates in this case, and whatever...

    Parking downtown

    Like 90 degree angle? I could do it but it won’t be enough space in this case. This street is $4/hr(?) so cars don’t stay long unless it’s contractor or disability parking whole day (I doubt he even paid), so basically I don’t know how the other drivers park their cars every few minutes. I try...

    Parking downtown

    So it seems like everyone is on edge downtown. This guy parked so close to my bike I couldn't straighten it out. He showed up few minutes later, backed into my bike hitting it, I 'tapped' his car so he stops, (was sitting on bike whole time) so he comes out and arguing. He claimed he only heard...

    Who's dreaming up something big for next year?

    Are they really going to open though? I’ve done 2 one way trips from BC to here via states. I prefer ride via states; less worry about gas = riding anytime of day/night. There is some hope now that interprovincial travel won’t be as frowned upon by late summer, with BC opening up faster than...

Would like to get back to it. reality of my hobbies are working out at home, binge...
