So to be on track I have to control my diet even if I don't exercise.
I should not be too concern not being able to exercise. After all this is Ramadan. This is when I realign my priorities. One of it is to ensure I control my diet. The other is to avoid the 3 Cs indefinitely.
It feels so good not having to crave for cigarettes. Come to think of it, cigarette is a complete waste. I cannot understand how in the world I was hooked on cigarette for 40 years. That is a very long time.
So if not for anything else my joy is to quit nicotine for good. I got to quit Nicorette during this MCO period. That will be my immediate win.
Next is to lose 5 kg during MCO.
I have to keep on planning. Other than doing, planning keeps me focus on my goals. The worst is to completely let go of any expectation.
Expectations if reinforced on regular basis will become reality. If I follow the advice by Napoleon Hill, I must be firm in wanting what I desire.
So as long as I am mentally strong, I will get there eventually. Just like it took me 8 years to quit cigarettes.
I should not look back at the 3 Cs. I had escaped the death traps and now I should move with certainty. No more repeating the same mistakes.
Where does my hope lies? None other that what I had set to do. Eat less and move more. If I can eat OMAD and exercise AHAD, I am on the way to a healthy and happy life.
My issue here is I am not in the mood. So I need to wait for the MCO to be over to get back my mood. My Fitness 22 apps is ready.
All I need is to do brisk walk for a month (20 days) and immediately start on the Fitness 22. I have until November to meet Dr Amarpreet.
I think I had found the motivational book to inspire me. Keep on Running is like a whiff of fresh air in my quest to tune in my mind and body to be a runner again.
Let's get the priority right. It is not about being loved by a crazy chick, that's just a side bet. What counts is for me to be THIN and FAST. I always want this. I dream about this my entire life. Now is to go and make it happen.
------------------
Basiruddin Siman can do 10 km/hour at 65 kg and 55 years old. What is my excuse? I must want it bad enough. It must be my obsession.
So I will start reading books that motivate me again. I should not lose sight of my dream to run a 10 km/hr 21 km Hill Run. Let's just focus on that.
I think if I run the 21 km Bukit Kiara Hill Run, I can be a very happy person. No need to run the marathon. Don't think too far ahead.
Now is to make it to 10 km. That's my priority this year.
Suddenly I feel very motivated. Especially since they had loosened the MCO allowing 2 people in a car. I am looking forward for them to allow us to exercise in the outdoor again.
--------------------
Tonight like last night I will continue reading. I am very inspired by Phil Hewitt's anecdotes on running. At the same time I intend to finish reading Think and Grow Rich Action Pack. Reading is the seed of my inspiration. I must keep on reading.
I cannot neglect reading. Just by reading a little bit I am already inspired to write. Also my relationship with Els helps.
I need PERMA:
The MCO is a temporary setback. I am still on my way to greatness:
Friday, 4th September 2020 - 11 km Hill (56)
4th September 2021 - 21 km Hill (57)
September 2022 - Completion of Statute of David Project (58)
2024 - Global Telepathy; Gold Reign of Wood Dragons (60)
2029 - Empires of the Minds; Shokunin Kurina Grand Master (65)
2034 - World of Hybrids; Citizen Gan (70)
2039 - RM80 k in the bank; Settle the ultimate debt (75)
2041 - KBOOOM 2041 (77)
I need time and money for sure. I better plan ahead.
Never let temporary setbacks deter me from my goals. This is what I had set myself to do. Keep the Vision alive.
Els is my source of delight but she is not my reason for being. My purpose is to be thin so that I can run fast. That I must do beginning this year. This is the year I ascend. I must believe in my own prophecies. Otherwise it won't work.
This is my Vision Quest and I am responsible for it.
------------------
The main culprit is food. Food suppose to nourish you but to much food will turn you into a slo[p] (slob).
Always be mindful, what nourishes me wi[th] (will) destroy me.
All it takes is moderation. Rats given 30% less food live 30% longer.
I need to start eating less. Like today, I feel much better eating lightly. I should cut rice to one serving.
I know all the stuff. In my case it is not about knowledge but the ability to take action. This is my journey. I need to stay hungry. I need to bring out the animal in me. To do that I need to walk on the wild side.
I also need to eat slooowly.
I love this song:
ALWAYS REMEMBER US THIS WAY
Sarah, I am not a person who gives up easily. Throughout my life I had been a fighter. That is proven when I quit the 3 Cs. That reset my potential to zero. Now is to move north from there. That requires momentum. I want this bad enough.
Tonight I read some more. Last night I slept at 11:00 pm and woke up at 4:30 am. I don't mind it at all. I then continue to sleep after sahur. I think for this morning I just drink hot tea. I write to you a bit and then I sleep before listening to Els.
-------------------
The books helps me much in maintaining a positive mindset. I will continue reading until bedtime.
I wonder when Iron Maiden going to produce their new album.
It should be anytime this year
