Day 8

Very glad the PCP ramp up came on the weekend but all good. Exercises were great - skipping still difficult but improving each day. Ended up using a sturdy broom handle (actually two taped together) for my incline pull-up.  Resistance straps are pretty good hey. Had no idea. Feel like I have been to a proper gym - sore all over but a good feeling.

Food was fun and I surprised myself. I did a shallots and squashed cherry tomatoes pan

fry (no oil - just a bit of water in a non-stick pan) with a bit of black pepper and cayenne pepper. Then got my one egg and egg white - and created an omelet.

Carbs were one and half whole-wheat muffins, toasted - no butter. Hey, I realised that bread loses weight when you toast it. Here is my brekky.  I had a cup of tea - using part of my milk allotment.

It all tasted OK but way more than I'd have for breakfast. Feel very full. Another benefit of this starting on the weekend is it all took forever.. like anything new.

Lunch: chicken mince/coriander burger: rye grain bread, homemade ketchup-salsa: (tomotoes, chilli, coriander): mashed half an avocado on the bread. Was actually pretty good - prep time was excessive though. Realised chicken mince from the supermarket possibly isn't the best - as unsure what part of the chook has gone in the mince. Ideally I need to work out how to mince chicken-tenders.

Dinner:  130g of brown rice: 200g of veges: steamed asparagus with two cherry tomatoes (and chives, garlic used with the fish): 130g protein - pouched tuna with crushed garlic, chives.

Purposely planned nothing this weekend to get into the new regime. Got to get some recipes. Fish was good though.

Onwards and upwards.
