My experience is with stopping drinking soda, not alcohol, so not quite the same. What helped me is just to reiterate all the bad effects it had on me, like acid reflux, teeth hurting, sugar crash an hour later and long term health effects. When I wanted to "reward" myself after surviving a sucky day, I would remind myself that it is not a reward, it is hurtful and leads to me feeling more sucky in the long term. And I deserve better than that.

    Dogs can be like that too. We have learned to pick up microchanges in our dogs walking pattern to find out when he hurt his paw. Like dude, just tell us so we can take care of the sharp rock between your toe pads that is causing you to bleed. Wouldn't find out he was sick unless it starts affecting his digestion.

    So I set myself the challenge to try all recipes in a dutch cookbook for cakes, pies and pastries called the bakbijbel (baking bible). I made a scrambled list of all recipes and the rules are simple: make them in order whenever I feel like baking, and make everything as it says in the book. These were my first two recipes from a while back, italian cantuccini on the right and "arnhem girls" (a regional cookie consisting of puff pastry rolled in sugar) on the left.

    I love this specific cookbook because it gives all the recipes for base ingredients, so you make your own puff pastry, bakers cream, jam and even vanila extract.

     

    I've been running for two years and I love a structured training plan from an app, as it keeps me motivated. However, I have tried humango (I also swim/bike) and garmin training plans and even with having data from my previous runs, they always make me go too fast and too far. For example, I'm trying a garmin 10k plan and told it I ran 1-8 km/week before starting, and it has me doing 12k first week, 18k second week and the third week starts with a 12k long run! This is when I set my goal date in october, so plenty of time to build up slow. I have had trouble with shin splints in the past and try to keep to the 10% rule (even 5% when I do other sports) but this means I cannot follow these training plans. A lot of training plans for 10k also require 4 runs a week, while I cannot do more than 3 without feeling like I'm pushing myself to hard. Does anyone know a nice training plan or app that can link to a sports watch and doesn't go overboard on distance?
