I’ve had a revelation. I think I need to be doing more exercise now that I am more used to it. I came to this conclusion earlier on, because I was doing Billy Blanks Ab Bootcamp and I hardly broke a sweat in comparison to how I was last week. I mean, there are still some exercises that I can’t do, but that is more because they hurt my neck rather than them being too difficult. And I don’t want to ‘peak’ now in terms of exercise and not feel any more of the benefits. Plus, I have been wanting to get back into riding my bike, so I think that I will add a bike ride to my day from now on. Not a particularly far ride, because my bike riding stamina isn’t what it once was . . . I’m getting old you see. I will probably just ride the same route I walk, or even a little shorter at first, eventually building up to extending that a little further. This time next week I would like to be going for at least a 20 minute bike ride a day, plus doing my walk and other exercise.

Maybe I’m being a little too ambitious. I think the fact that the sun is shining outside has given me this delusional optimism, but I don’t care! I’m going to use this new found hope to commit myself to working harder! Good for me, eh?

Anyway, for the first time in this diet I’m actually starving. That may well be because I have not had any Special K today, purely because I know I’ll be pigging out at dinner tonight. I have however had an Satsuma, and ten green beans stir fried in Fry Lite and a little soy sauce. Oh and two pieces of Kinder Bueno. And six olives.

But that’s all. Trust me.

Anyway, I’d better go get ready for dinner!
