My blood results came back and they were perfect. All the vitamins and other physiological data were right on the spot meaning within normal range. The intermittent fasting diet was working like a charm and I probably should stop. However, I liked the slim and toned shape of my body so I might keep doing it until I reached 56-57 kgs.
The key point was really to stop the flow of sugar into the blood for a while so that the body was compelled to tap into the fat reserve.

On Earth, we’re briefly gorgeous: The first part of this book was so raw and so true about Vietnamese immigrants of the first generation. Like an echo, it resonated in my mind and reflected my own experience: the violence, the poverty, the shame about little stupid things. The author was a Vietnamese-American poet and the book was an instant best seller. I knew about the book and the authour because it was published in “Lemonde.fr”: LINK

I finally found the perfect physiotherapist for my ankle sprain. I negotiated upfront the massage sessions: 18. I told him I did not care about the exercises. I could do them at home by myself. The rate was perfect and I offered to pay more since my private insurance covered for them.
I was also lucky yesterday when someone offered to give away expensive shrimps. I immediately contacted the generous soul and I hope I’ll get my 10 shrimps today.

I went to check with a physiotherapist for my ankle sprain problem: less than 5 minutes of massage and useless exercises for 93 Euros. The physiotherapist was about to schedule me for more sessions when I stopped him and I asked in a very simple and glacial manner: “That was IT?” He started to enumerate all the things he could/would do but did not do. I simply replied: “No thank you”.
It was the same thing for my doctors. Usually doctors who gave me less than 5 minutes of their times, I never returned to them. It was sad to notice that most generalists behaved like that.

I’ve sold many old stuffs for 205 Euros on “leboncoin”. I would never ever use them again and they were taking too much place in my closet.

The MRI revealed that I had a rupture of my ligament. I spent the whole week chasing after doctors and doing more imaging analysis to confirm whether I needed a surgery in order to be able to run again. Luckily, the surgeon doctor confirmed the rupture of the ligament however, even though it was severe, it could still be treated and healed by itself (3-6 months).
I was relieved that I did not have to undergo surgery.
