In this blog post, I’m sharing an update on my daily food routine, as shown in the photo. My daily food routine is subject to change depending on the prepared menu for the day. However, my approach to choosing meals remains consistent, with a focus on consuming more vegetables.
Breakfast — strawbery yougart, plain yougart, oat meal, bread scramble egg, boil egg, cheicken,
Lunch — Resuto, pasta, salad, corn, bill paper, coscos, peanut, letus, chickpeas, cheeze, black beans, spenuts, cheese cake.
Dinner — Sea food pizza, white egg, beef meat, chicken meat, cabage, coscos, litus, beans, chickpeas.
Coffee has been a habit of mine for the past few years, despite its negative effects on my health. It has contributed to high creatinine levels, elevated sugar levels, and ultimately led to type 2 diabetes. I want to make it clear that I do not recommend following my coffee consumption habits. I’m sharing my experience for informational purposes only. Despite the health risks, I remain addicted to having coffee as part of my morning routine. However, before I indulge in coffee, I make it a point to drink two cups of warm water, a practice I follow regularly before consuming coffee.
I typically have coffee in the morning and again after my break around 1800hrs before starting my duty. Currently, I drink two types of coffee, as I’ve had trouble with three-in-one coffee mixes. I now opt for coffee without sugar, creamer, or milk.
Today marks the fourth day of my exercise journey towards better health. I’ve noticed some progress as I wake up feeling good and motivated to exercise early. However, due to my early work schedule starting at 0600hrs, I am unable to exercise in the morning. Below is my daily work schedule:
My Schedule:
- 0600hrs to 0830hrs: Work
- 0830hrs to 0900hrs: Breakfast
- 1200noon to 1230hrs: Lunch
- 1230hrs to 1500hrs: Work
- 1500hrs to 1800hrs: Long break
- 1800hrs to 2000hrs: Duty
- 2000hrs to 0600hrs: Off duty
Due to this schedule, finding time for regular exercise can be challenging. Currently, I utilize my 3 pm long break for exercise. Ideally, I would prefer to exercise early in the morning before work.
Despite my desire to sleep early, I face obstacles. While my off-duty time is at 2000hrs, I share a cabin with someone whose off-duty time is at 2100hrs. If I were to sleep early, it would disrupt their activities and privacy. Thus, our normal bedtime is at 2300hrs, aligning with the ship’s quiet hours.
Although this topic may seem unrelated to my health journey, it significantly impacts my daily routine and ability to manage my exercise regimen effectively.
My exercise routine will remain unchanged until there are alterations to my work schedule. Currently, I am assigned to the open deck or pool area, which requires an early start at around 0600hrs.
As I progress into the fourth day of regular exercise, I am eager to witness improvements. I am also learning the importance of proper setup and repetition in exercises, rather than solely focusing on lifting heavy weights.
I’ve noticed an increase in my endurance, as I no longer feel as tired or breathless when using stairs compared to before I started exercising.
Reflecting on my past experience as a steward ten years ago, I recall the physical demands of the job, particularly cleaning 19 cabins daily. Despite the physical nature of the work, it’s clear now that sweating due to physical labor is not a substitute for regular exercise. As advised by a doctor during a previous medical visit, incorporating regular exercise into our routine is crucial for maintaining good health.
In conclusion, regular exercise plays a vital role in achieving and maintaining good health, despite the challenges posed by work schedules and daily routines.
Ones again thank you very much for your time reading my blog post and I am happy to share with me if you have any health related idea.
Thanks
