day #8 : wrap up

Lunch: tuna (in water 140g); bean/bean/sweetcorn salad; water

Snack: pickled onions

Dinner: roast chicken; roasted vegetables; flageolet vert

The big glass made drinking a lot of water easy at work. I particularly like St Yorre sparkling water.

Today was also the first exercise day. I wanted to get my heart working, but also to test out my back for the first time. We have nice, well equipped gym at work, with a Milon Circuit.

treadmill: 20 minutes / 5110m from a standing start.
weights: 1 circuit + repeat 2 x arm/chest machine

All felt OK. I will lay off the back extension, as this seems to strain my back.

I feared that I would have no energy on this diet. The opposite is true. In fact I am full of beans (ho ho)!
