I think that I still have that other persons thighs attached to mine
I'm not going to say which bits of that other person I've ended up with - but if you read my previous post I think you may guess!
I'm surprisingly un-sore today - I was expecting to feel some aches and pains after yesterday but I'm fine so will be doing sessions on both the rower and exercise bike today. I must be getting more used to this exercise malarkey.
I've decided to cut out black coffee from my diet, at least for a while. I drink loads of water at the moment so will be drinking even more now to compensate. I'm determined to keep really well hydrated to try and minimise the chances of the scary "loose skin" phenomenon. Reducing my caffeine intake can only be beneficial according to what I’ve been reading ”loose skin-wise” on-line.
I'm also looking at utube for upper body workouts following Diane's comments. Thanks also for the suggestions regarding Nordic Walking from both MsT and Diane. Funnily enough yesterday I had suggested to my mate that we should maybe try and incorporate this into our regime after a Nordic walker went polling by as we were eating lunch. I can't repeat most of what my mate said here
but after I'd extolled the virtues of it, he finished with something like ......"I'd only ever be comfortable doing that if I was by myself on my own property and completely out of sight".
I must admit if I ever was brave enough to try it out in public, I'd have to have at least one other person with me doing it too, to feel anywhere near comfortable with it. I don't doubt that its brilliant exercise but it does look decidedly odd and seems to draw the most bizarre looks and comments from all and sundry. Having said that I could probably go for it out in the quiet countryside much better than along the busy seafront location where we were yesterday.
Today's Menu
1) Two Weetabix with green grapes (returned home uneaten from daughter's packed lunch yesterday
) and fresh pineapple (left over from prepping daughter's packed lunch today - no doubt the rest will come back tonight uneaten
) and semi-skimmed milk.
2) Half a can of Chickpea Dhal nuked then poured over steamed cauliflower, broccoli florets and carrot batons.
3) Corn on the cob with tiny smidge of olive oil. (no butter in my life now, ever!) Small side salad: Watercress, rocket, red/green/yellow peppers, celery, black and green olives, tomatoes, cottage cheese.
4) Fresh Tuna steak with noodles and sweet chilli sauce.
5) Pot of Earl Grey tea with slice of lemon. Toast with meagre scraping of pork liver and apricot pâté
Good luck with whatever you are up to today people. Go for a walk at lunchtime if you are office-bound. Don't just sit at your desk and keep working. You deserve, and need, a break and a change of scenery!
On their deathbed, no-one ever thinks "Oh how I wish that I'd worked a bit harder!"
Oh - almost forgot! Thanks for the sensible suggestion re seeing the Doc, Anakin. We've quite regularly discussed my need for exercise - on my next visit it's sure to come up again especially when he sees the weight I've lost in the last 6 weeks.
I do the Nordic walking in the countryside not on the streets.
