Took this week off to take a well-needed break and to work on my academic paper. Finally saw my parents who I haven’t seen since early February. BBQ’ed with my gf’s family which was almost as if nothing had happened. Banal in a way that I quite longed for. We didn’t really hold onto the distancing; we figured after months of not seeing anyone, sitting outside and them being careful too, risks are pretty low. I’m still running and after getting new Nikes have been going very fast for my doing. Did a 40 minute 6k today without really going for that, so I’m very pleased. I did however drop under 150lbs for the first time today. So if y’all have lactose-free ways of getting phat lemme know.
Squats and oats did the trick for me. You'll have a hard time putting on mass by running 5ks, as opposed to doing resistance training. It's also easier to consume calories in liquid form, like protein shakes. Whey isolate is nearly lactose-free, and non-dairy powders would be completely lactose-free.
I lost all respect for food in the UK as soon as I was presented with a Welsh Rarebit. "This is cheez whiz on toast." "...yeah, mostly" "See I was willing to consider a Scotch egg to be a one-off but you guys really do just eat fried garbage and pretend you're better than everyone, don't you?" "Well, not to each other just to you lot." What I love about the Great British Baking Show is it's largely colonized minorities making French, Austrian, Italian and German delicacies in a tent in Yorkshire somewhere.
