Fun and scientific
Life changer
Josh's story
Eating, moving and thinking right
I think my genetics and mental illness and meds makes it much harder to lose weight and get fit
Hope is important
Free on Amazon app
NAQ - naturally attainable quantities
Community is important
Eating to deal with problems
Pragmatism and self-love
More than a fitness journey, its a lifestyle journey
Avoid burn out
One step at a time
Don't fall into the perfectionist trap
Learn from failure
Overconfidence
Positive feedback loop
Results matter - it is the feedback we have
Beware of plateaus
Look for results that cannot be measured like happiness and curiosity
If when then plan
Unconscious vows and character decisions
NAQs answer the question, "does this question make sense"
The downside of living in our comfort zone
Find your community
You are what you eat
We should be eating primarily unprocessed plant food
Smart shopping for food and food choices
Nutritarians - people who make the best available nutritional choice under every given situation
The basis of a healthy diet is plants as close to their natural state as possible
Walking/running is good for the body, brain and mood
Muscle confusion
Stress (not the chronic type) is good for the body
Enter the stress/recovery cycle
Community gives us accountability, support and role models
Injury is real, pay attention to your body, do not overdo it
Believe in yourself
Every expert was once a beginner
Keep chasing hard, productive discomfort
Having a good mindset is important
Mistakes are learning opportunities
Failure + feedback + followthrough = growth
Delayed gratification helps with success
Have self-compassion on this journey
You are not alone
Get started and keep going

Hobby project - Store and view exchange rates

By
The next step in my project was to test out being able store and display the rates in a database. I decided to use nodejs and supabase for this. Everything worked beautifully. Only hickup was the following error due to my package.json not being correct. SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module Added this to package.json   "type": "module" This works beautifully. Right now I am just testing fragments of what could be part of a bigger system to see what is possible and what works and how easy to code on a mobile. There is no fully functioning integrated end to end system just yet. This is also what I tested. A serverless append-only database using GitHub + Actions + Pages. That’s basically a lightweight backend system. This was the ChatGPT prompt I used. Guide me through each step. This is what I want. A manually run github actions that adds to docs/data.json with the current date and time. docs/index.html displays all the entries in data.json. Make s...

What is important

By
Every now and again, I get reminded of the why. Why I have handed my life over to God. It is 3:08 p.m. and I have decided to write. Honestly, I feel like I could end this blog post right here. What more is there to say? God above all else. God is our compass on this journey called life. Everything else can become a distraction. Maybe not everything, but certainly many things. You get the point. What is important? What do we prioritise? What do we make time for? The answers look different for everyone. Our lives are different. We are tested differently. We are all products of our circumstances, and those circumstances vary from person to person. Yet God is the common thread across humanity and throughout time. God always was and always will be. One day, we will answer to God. We will give account to God. We cannot live without food, water, and oxygen, but all of those things come from God. So how can we live without God? How timely. I just received a notification from the Quranly app: S...

Running php and apache on termux

By
This was my experience getting php and apache to run on termux apt update && apt upgrade -y apt install php-apache I was following an old blog post that used php 7 and got these errors Can't locate API module structure `php7_module' in file /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/libexec/apache2/libphp.so: undefined symbol: php7_module Cannot load /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/libexec/apache2/libphp7.so Corrected in apache config file vim $PREFIX/etc/apache2/httpd.conf LoadModule php_module /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/libexec/apache2/libphp.so Apache is running a threaded MPM, but your PHP Module is not compiled to be threadsafe.  You need to recompile PHP. Comment out mpm_worker and use mpm_prefork #LoadModule mpm_worker_module libexec/apache2/mod_mpm_worker.so LoadModule mpm_prefork_module libexec/apache2/mod_mpm_prefork.so This still does not work as apache (httpd) was failing silently. According to Chatty LoadModule php_module ...libphp.so often fails in Termux becau...
