Day 2: The carrot man cometh
I'm now officially the guy who buys a single carrot downstairs at the fruit market. It's only day 2, but I already know they're talking. Insinuating things they are. A coworker has pointed out that carrots and bannanas are very phallic and I should eat other things. I'm contemplating getting a couple of kiwi fruit and a banana (again with the spelling of that word - kills my brain) for tomorrow. Or perhaps not.
Stuff I did today:
Walked to & from work (1.7k each way) 3.4k. Same as yesterday. This component of taking about my day to day life is already boring me.
Went to gym for quick cardio session at lunchtime 30-35 minutes high intensity. Continuing the theme of surprised gym folks, the front desk lady congratulated me "on twice in two days, and well done". I congratulated me from pulling myself away from the desk instead of hanging out at work and dropping crumbs in my keyboard while making logos. A win all around I think. The rowing machine was really torturous today as I was pretty sore after weeks of inactivity. "Sucked in" @ my body.
Tomorrow I have to do weights even though I actually quite like cardio. I especially like the recumbent bike with the heart rate monitor, it gives me something more intellectually engaging to look at than the bold & the beautiful.
Food Diary:
Today was very similar to yesterday. I'm a creature of habit, but I will have to mix this up going forward as I won't be able to stick to it otherwise. Fish is a good option and I'm surprised that I'm not very hungry, but conversely looking at this list I feel like I've eaten a lot and so therefore shouldn't be.
Breakfast: 1 cup Sultana Bran (812kj), 100ml Skim Milk (229kj) & 4 spoons Stewed Apple (~250kj)
Morning Tea: Red Carmen's Muesli Bar (769kj)
Lunch: Toasted homemade bread with a bit of ham, relish and a tiny bit of parmesan.
Afternoon Tea: Medium banana (355kj)
Afternoon Tea 2: Giant Comedy Carrot (Apparently it's the only kind you can buy) (~300kj maybe?) Today I got the carrot so I could start the myth of the carrot guy at the fruit market downstairs. Another coworker got one shortly afterwards. It is my goal to get the entire office to buy a single carrot spaced about 10 minutes apart.
Dinner: Smoked Salmon ~100gm (250kj ?) & roast salmon with broccoli and carrots. (I ate the top green bits of the carrot that jen left on the carrot as it seemed like fair game)
Dessert: Oh yeah you want me to have a Vienetta. We'll you're wrong bucko. I had a couple of slices of stewed quince (250kj ?), which by the way, is well worth the effort of cooking.
Mood: Salmony and Introspective. Should exercise be giving me gas? I wouldn't know, I try not to touch the stuff.
