Day 10: Angry Man + Gym = Zen

I will have to make today's entry quick as I've got a lot of stuff to do. Today I was having a pretty crappy day and by the time gym time rolled around I was pretty keen to go there and burn off some angry. It was a really decent session although I was feeling a bit unco.

I came back to work and was feeling really cruisy and zen. Just about nothing could dent it into the afternoon and I think that's got to be better than shaping up or weightloss. It's not an arbitrary thing when people speak about well-being in terms of health.

Sorry no punchline there just the thought that working out is demonstrably better for my disposition and mood is the whole thought.

Oh and a small milestone. I haven't been under 80 kilos for at least 2 years. So hurray to that! In the past I could never seem to break through that. I must say that it was late last year that I was nudging 88kg so I have had some slow weight loss before all this shenanigans started.

What I did today:

Walked to and from work: 3.4km

Gym: Angry Cardio Session. Really hit the rower hard today.

What I ate:

Breakfast: 1C Sultana Bran 812kj, 100ml Skim Milk (229kj), 1 kiwi fruit (200kj)
Morning Tea: Small Handful of Raw Nuts (~800kj)
Lunch: Tin of Tuna in Spring Water (330kj) + Maharajah's Choice Vegetable Korma (1300kj)
Afternoon Tea: Granny Smith Apple 220kj
Afternoon Tea 2: Home grown carrots from a co-workers garden. We did a taste test in the studio and the Home grown carrots won out. 2 other people in the office have joined me at Carrot O'Clock which is a bit cool I reckon.
Dinner: Tin Tuna in Spring Water (330kj) + Bowl of Leek and Potato Soup (1500kj) (I made it myself cos I'm like Jamie Oliver only marginally less boring and quite a lot less British) + 2 Crumpets with Vegemite (800kj?)

Mood: Zen.
