1240 - The New York Knicks

The New York Knicks just won their third NBA Championship. Their previous one was 53 years ago.

I've been rooting for them since the Sprewell era Knicks, but I'm not the die hard Knick fan like others. I'm really happy they won with this squad and that they overcame a really strong opponent in the San Antonio Spurs.

1239 - Overcoming Challenges

May was a challenging month, and right not so is June. I won't be talking about anything specifically but I guess I need to overcome these challenges that are coming my way.

Weather the storm and overcome the challenges.

1238 - Vanilla Ice Cream

For quite some time now my go-to ice cream flavor has been vanilla ice cream. Let me explain why.

It is, for me, the most complementary flavor I can have. I can eat it as is, or mix it with other ingredients and it will still taste good. Usually I mix peanut butter and bananas to the vanilla ice cream. Sometimes I use hazelnut spread. On occasion I've dumped black coffee on it.

It just fits in with almost any ingredient I want to mix with it. Heck, I even dip fries on it.

1237 - June

Finally June has arrived. I bid may a heartfelt farewell, and whatever notable stuff that happened during the month.

I can say that May wasn't that great of a month in some aspects of life, but I do think overall that it was still a good month. I still have my health and I am still functioning, which is a win already.

Now that it's June I hope that better things happen, no matter what the case may be. So here we go.

1236 - Exercise Updates

The hot season is in full effect, and add to that summer vacation for my daughter, and continuing my morning exercise routine has been a challenge.

While I can still hit my weekly goals, it has not been easy. I have decided to do my workouts only on weekdays instead of my usual 6-day routine. This will hopefully help me stay consistent with exercising since we don't have to get up as early as before and sleeping in has been my norm more often.

I still try to jog, but instead of going out around 4am I go out a bit later. Lately I forced myself to jog slower, around an 8:00-minute pace, and I was able to do four laps without stopping for a water break. So hopefully next time I jog I can maintain this pace just so I can do four laps.

Aside from this I am still continuing my kettlebell exercises, and hopefully I can have some spare cash so I can buy a heavier kettlebell so I can hopefully get a bit stronger.

Hopefully when school and cooler temps return I'll be able to go back to 6-day workouts.
