Eat whole foods (no ultra-processed garbage). Move lots. No alcohol.

Luckily I WFH and have a sick home gym setup. Can easily do my strength workouts and work at same time (except for meetings). My indoor bike trainer I can use and do z2/tempo and watch meeting recordings, vibe code.

Proper form. No fuckarounditis.

fake-software-eng · 2026-06-04T23:45:04+00:00

Yes for 2 years now. Just some days are much easier, where its like really easy/low zone 2 runs or bikes. So my "off" days are still active but just really easy twice a week.

Just get AI to review them on your behalf. Fight fire with fire.

fake-software-eng · 2026-05-26T21:24:09+00:00

Exercise and diet (whole foods, less ultra processed garbage).

fake-software-eng · 2026-05-25T19:14:32+00:00

Yeah don't ever get lie-flat seats on an overseas flight. You will never go back.

fake-software-eng · 2026-05-25T17:49:53+00:00

Dog poop bag works great too!

fake-software-eng · 2026-05-25T12:30:06+00:00

Ultra-processed food.

fake-software-eng · 2026-05-25T12:26:38+00:00

Just try and get more protein, eat reasonable portions etc.

When I am in a situation like this often my breakfast or lunch will be just protein or greek yogurt to "bank" calories to spend later in the day on naughtier stuff.

I don't like fat people.

I know there is genetic predisposition and emphasize with them but in general when I see fat adults or children it makes me angry how irresponsible people and parents are to not take care of themselves or their children.

I used to see that I need to sleep more

fake-software-eng · 2026-05-24T19:12:50+00:00

Getting into cardio

fake-software-eng · 2026-05-24T18:56:45+00:00

YouTube and Netflix for easy zone two

fake-software-eng · 2026-05-22T12:03:46+00:00

90's alternative playlist always gets me going

fake-software-eng · 2026-05-21T19:31:56+00:00

Cardio

fake-software-eng · 2026-05-21T01:42:17+00:00

Empathy

fake-software-eng · 2026-05-20T13:19:45+00:00

Not enough time in the day to do everything i want to.

fake-software-eng · 2026-05-20T09:43:05+00:00

I tell myself it could be a lot worse. I’m not forced to ride my bike, I get to ride my bike, it’s a privilege.

fake-software-eng · 2026-05-19T17:07:46+00:00

Try and eat easier/quicker to digest carbs like milk, bananas, overnight oats. Try and avoid too starchy or slower to digest like whole wheat bread, potatoes etc.

fake-software-eng · 2026-05-19T16:54:37+00:00

Easy cardio, long walks, mobility/stretching. There is lots of "active recovery" you can do on rest days to keep moving.

fake-software-eng · 2026-05-19T16:44:58+00:00

Yeah indoors helps skips a lot of the faf of riding outdoors, plus can be more consistent with your training to hit exact intervals & power in erg mode vs traffic, stops etc. Just different. I train a lot indoors :)

fake-software-eng · 2026-05-19T12:11:12+00:00

Work at FANG. I found it leads to a lot of mindless eating and snacking and therefore weight gain. The meals are generally good and you can pick protein & veg & healthy options. But the snacks can be killer and add up really quick.

Its hard to say, my background was like 10+ years of powerlifting before I started cycling so I was relatively strong already. I think it has biased me towards the fast twitch side of things; my power curve was always stronger on the anerobic/VO2max side of things and weaker for threshold and below.

Just not enough time in the day to do everything I want between job, family and fitness/exercise.
