I began the day with the Calorie Killer circuit, which conclusively demonstrated that I have ground to make up but also that I've made gains since October - I was scarlet, panting, had to take a couple of breathers, couldn't keep up with the pyramid section, and couldn't hold the static poses for more than 15 seconds. But I was able to rip off the push ups (albeit modified - I'm not quite up to push ups on my toes yet) and the crunches.
I had a breakfast of porridge with dates, topped by some more stewed rhubarb and raspberries, accompanied by 50ml of diluted Kirmizi juice. Still peckish, a couple of hours later I had about 50g of grilled haloumi with baby spinach and lemon juice.
Before leaving for work in the evening I had a bowl of homemade pumpkin soup, made from some leftover roasted pumpkin (with a piece each of roasted carrot and sweet potato) thinned with stock, accompanied by a mini ancient grains and seed roll.
I won't have the time every night to walk all the way to work, but part way will do for a start. I've also learned that the most essential part of maintaining the exercise component of my program while on nights is to get enough sleep - otherwise getting up is just too difficult. - Alex
