Fuck you Fruit Center.

Just have to ease my mind some before i drink my coffee and prepare for a short run.

When we go to the store to buy food i often buy fruit and nuts as well, of course. ICA (the name of the supermarket where i do my groceries) always deliver fresh food and a wide variety of green goods.

But when the fruit supply comes to an end. I sometimes have to wander off to the stores that are close to home. One of them is a place called "Fruit Center".  

Imagine the center, feel it, touch it. I want you to think of the center when you go in and see all the fresh fruits, the green miles of apples, oranges, grapes, kiwis, papayas and all the fruits you can possible think of. 

The nice personnel who knows everything and anything about fruits and what they taste like. You are in fruit heaven.

What a wonderful vision of a fruit center. The vision you are having though is WRONG.

Instead, when you come in, the smell of rotten fruit hits you in the face like a punch from Mike Tyson, you see the fridges who contain those "fresh" foods leaking fluids on the floor that is already a mishmash of filth, flies and hair, i even feel sorry for my shoes when i enter.

They don´t want to take away the bad fruits, instead they push them forward on the shelves, and let the "fresh" fruit lie on the highest shelf, those shelves are even high for me to reach. And even though i reach it, the fruits i manage to get taste bad as well.

Blood grapefruits that are supposed to be red like blood are pale and mostly look like the inside of a pink water balloon . 

Kiwis are either to hard and sour or to soft and sweet. 

Oranges are to soft and rotten.

Apples that are supposed to be sour and firm, are sweet and powdery and have stickers on them that are impossible to remove. 

And on top of that, there is not enough fruits to get a fruit specialist like me to be happy.

This is just insane, the center that is supposed to be a center of wild, good and fresh fruits are just trying to get by on its bare knees and cant even compete with supermarkets that are selling everything from fruits to dog food and motor oil.

I can imagine that fruits its a hard market to handle but if your going to open a shop that is all about fruit, then LEARN about fruit and how to serve it before you sell it. 

And got damn, you can at least give me a smile when i ask for a special fruit instead of being rude. 

Crappy store, from today on, i close down the fruit center from my life for good. Shitty place.

Now, time to run!

Peace off!

 

Warm Day

Finally, yesterday was the first warm day of the year, like 24 degrees in the sun. Wonderful.

I worked as usual, came home and almost went to the gym and did a 40 minute arm run, it was a nice one, after that it was off home, i ate 2 eggs and some carrots after.

Then one apple about 11700, the big meal contained of a big pizza with alot of sallad, OK, its not permited by the rulebook of Operation Overload but sometimes when you feel that you deserve one, you just have to do it. It says so in the book anyway ;)

Finished the day with the 100-Pushups app, its pretty great, i can feel how many more i can do everytime i do it.
I am even getting some definition on my muscles. Cool stuff.

Well, off to work now, have a great day out there!

Apple

So, sitting right now and eating an apple, take it easy. On a break from work right now.

30 minutes of relaxation before going back to work.

Anyhow, yesterday i weighed in on 86,7 Kgs, i havent weighed so little since along time ago, it feels nice.. but hold your horses, after i had my big meal(s) i weighed about 89 kgs again, alot of food.
I need it because lately, work is getting harder and harder. And even the training, alot of running and further on.

I have more pressure on my back and even though i only work 6 hours you feel it anyways, 6 hour workday is good but its almost as hard as a 8 hour day. Phew..

Todays schedule looks like this.

Work to 1230.
Go home and do the dishes.
Relax.
Boxing pass on fighter centre. 1,5 hours.
100 Push-ups app.
Food.

The end.

Barbecue

I am pretty happy with my barbecue picture to the right with all the flames and stuff, pretty amazing what pictures you can take with an iPhone. We had a good barbecue this Friday with a good friend of mine and it was relaxing and good food.

Just came home from a walk with our little Luddeman, we are  dog watchers for Jessica's mother this weekend + some more days.

When i was out on the walk i get amazed how crazy people can be, on the end of the yard here we have a green house, in the green house alot of people live that are not so.. socially accepted. 

Like this crazy lady that scared the shit out of my good friends and neighbors Angela and Danne, in the middle of the night they started to hear plates smashing against the pavement. Full of curiosity they looked out, they saw plates flying out of a freaking window where an crazy lady lives. Plates where flying and it was nothing more, no shouting, no cursing just flying plates. Scary shit. 

We are hoping for good weather so we can barbecue with them today and bunker up on the good talk about the neighborhood and whats happening around it. We are like or own watch guards here, we know this neighborhood best except for the two old guys living here. ;)

Anyhow, i have been thinking of it lately, that sometimes i really miss those big breakfast's i use to have. I was a firm believer and still are (to some point anyway) that breakfast is the most important meal you can have on a daily basis.

But when i ate those big meals, i had a problem of hunger striking me almost 2-3 hours after, all the time. I used to go around and be hungry as hell all the time, and that annoyed me, so much time and money i spent at eating, its amazing. All those calories. And thats why i still prefer the warrior diet over a big breakfast, it saves me money, calories, and time. 

But still, money and time is not all. 

A healthy and good lifestyle is though. 

Running Wild

I didn't plan for any sort of workout today but because of the great weather i decided to take a run anyway, i made it 4,5 km until i met some good friends and walked from there, i had a bad pace, almost 7 min\km and that is no good for me, i used to run about 4:50\km so this is bad.

Well i burned some fat and loosed some calories and that is what counts in my eyes :)

Tomorrow is gaming day, play some games, take it easy and wait for Monday to come. 

Monday is all about fixing my haircut, sparring-lessons with some great MMA fighters and maybe get some kettle bell training done if i get it.

For now, so long!

Before i forget, today the under eating phase was all about the power of the apple, coffee and vitamin. As usual. It works for me, very good.

Almost 4 months now!

10 Km

Just ran a 10 Km run on a stomach containing some Coffee and vitamins, its cool how i had the energy to go all the way without dying, sure i had a low km pace (about 6:15) but i managed the whole run! Cool as hell, 950 calories thinner! :)

Here is the run!

Resting

Even though i am on my "Project Overload" i sure need some rest.

Today and tommorow i will chill out and take it easy. I came to think of some rest when i woke up today and realized that i have had a constant musclesoreness for about 3-4 weeks, in my legs, back, arms, calfs, breast and so on. CONSTANT!
Its annoying actually.
But it is also good because that means that i have done some nice training in various new ways, and the body says "hey, do you feel this?"..

I will spend these two day just stretching and trying to fix all these muscle issues before the weekend comes.

The bell wasnt in yesterday but thats fine, i will recieve it in a couple of days anyway. Its all gooood!

Warriordiet:

Yesterday i ate 3 apples and drank 2 cups of coffee plus some peanuts from 0500-2000. The nuts are not enhanced in any way, they are just NUTS.

And right before the training i drank some whey protein that kept me going until it was time for chickentacos, ate a whole bunch (lost count of how many actually).

Off to stretch some and then play some Xbox360 :)
