Progress

People who go on diets can be immeasurably tedious. Once you start counting calories it can all get a bit obsessive. I now stand in supermarket aisles reading the small print on the back of tins and packets looking for the calories per slice, 100g, tin, pack or whatever. I've reduced whats in my fridge down to the bare minimum. For breakfast I have a small tin of sardines (200 cal) on one slice of Warburton wholemeal bread (65 cal) plus a tomato and some lettuce (hardly any cal)
The breakfast is after the morning gym work-out where I burn 300 cal on X Trainer, rowing machine and bike. When I had my Leisure Centre assessment I was 89 Kg. That was just over two weeks ago. I am now already 86 Kg. That's 1 Kg less than when I joined the gym last August.
Lunch can be salad with perhaps a one-egg omelette which will incorporate some onion and tomato. Steamed fish is very good for you and I have been taught how to chop ginger into match-stick sized pieces, slice some shallots and mushrooms, put it all into a baco-foil envelope with the whole fish plus some soy sauce a small chopped chilli and some water. Cook for 25 mins in a hot oven. All the juices and flavours trapped inside the package infuse the fish with a wonderful fragrance. Serve on a cup-sized mound of fluffly rice. I have had steamed fish at a restaurant recently and that's all they did. Steam it! It was OK I suppose. But I thought it a waste of an opportunity to make it tasty.
