I wasn't productive all day long. Actually I did finish preparing the presentation of my work for Friday's meeting with my c0-author (remember my super star professor?), but nothing else. I was a little angry/frustrated with myself, because I had other things to work on but couldn't find the motivation for it. I left office at 5pm, frustrated!I was feeling bloated as well (water retention?), so I decided to go to the gym with my polar. I haven't used it for a long time, so it's time to check how's my heart. Not-surprisingly, because of lack of intense cardio work for the last 2 months, I couldn't get my heart-rate high quickly. It took me about 8 min to get 130 (I used to hit 140 in <3)>160 during the entire workout. Well.... I guess I need to do more cardio then. Or shouldn't I? Anyway, here's my stat:
Duration: 1:05:00
Average Heart Rate: 126
Maximum: 155
Calories burned: 320
light dinner (my PM snack still kept full): a stir-fry with broccoli slaw, mushrooms and spinach.
With new-made black rice porridge. This time, I added aduki and black fungus into it and cooked in the slow cooker about like 8 hours, so no need to blend.
Aduki beans is good for detoxing excess fat and salt, it's diuretic, it helps on blood creation, it helps to slim lower body.White fungus helps to ease stomach heat, lungs congestion, high pressure, constipation. Its gel texture is specially good for our skin.
Dessert was the very missing Fage 2% with pumpkin and tons of cinnamon.
Question: Do you have any obsession? Mine definitely is to be productive. A not productive day for me is a bad day. I know I shouldn't think this way and be more intuitive with my work as I am with my eats, but haven't succeeded on that yet. Any suggestion?
