I Needs Me Spinach

Trembling Workout On Wobbly Bike / Floorboards
1 x five minute warm-up in excercise shorts on squeaky bike
2 x set 20 reps bicep curls
2 x set 15 reps terrifying tricep curls involving much in the way of unstable behind-the-head action
2 x 10 reps sneaky core excerice
0 x five minute warm-down excercise on squeaky bike on account of i ran out of energy

having yet to lack the dignity needed to use a gym ball in my gym/front room, i'm still sorta stuck doing the deceptively easy core excercises which seem to endanger my poor old back, so i'm going to dig out some others to compliment my sweaty-pig regime. i do seem to give my trusty old bike a hard time, but it is sturdy enough to support my daily workout; it just doesn't do it quietly, and seems to find the damaged floorboard all by itself.

Snacks Hurrah!

Turkeylicious Snacks On Ry/i/vita
3 x crispy goodness in the form of previously untasty ry/i/vita
3 x bits of the nice deli turkey left over from this morning
1 x taaaall glass of orange juice
2 x suplimentary handfuls of sunflower seeds

...woot! and now i have to prepare for my second diet shop, which should be a bit less bamboozling when i'm not using one hand to read a hardback book in a moving vehicle at night.

Saviour Of The Day: my intellect, which handily remembered that i could snack instead of lunch!

Sucks.

No Lunch Today Because Of Stupid People Coming To The House
2 x awfully unfulfilling-looking handfuls of sunflower seeds
1 x lukewarm tea
1 x pervasive smell of kippers

bloody, bloody work. first, i couldn't get in the kitchen for the parental support unit cooking yukky kippers in a yukky haze, then i was going to rustle up some lunchy goodness, and now there's people in the house, so i can't get in the kitchen. swines.

this is all made worse by the fact there's a pork pie in the fridge i could be worrying right now.

Irritation Of The Day: knawing hunger with no way to assuage it / appetite ruined by the kitchen having the smell of all yuk in it.

Redemption Of The Day: realising i could stop whinging and have me another ubersnack whilst kicking people out of the way! hurrah!

Editorial Anxiety Of The Day: noticing that i've used the word "assuaged" twice on one blog page / wondering if i could sneak in "bourgeoise" again without anyone noticing

Family Guy

Ubergood Turkey On Crackers
4 x ry/i/vita crackers with quark (is there a ry/i/vita addicts anonymous? is there?)
4 x slices of "deli-style turkey" - often referred to, rarely seen
1 x seasoning of the pepper variety
1 x sprinkle o salt for the slightly too-dry turk-ley
1/2 of the rest of the christmassy mandarins - ho. ho. ho.
fresh pot of tea

oh - oh - oh sooooooo good. thank god i bullied my dad into getting me turkey slices from the co-op. sooooo worth it.

Turkey-less Breakfast Brunch
0 x turkey rashers because i ate them last night and now i'm rueful
2 x thin nimble bread that goes even thinner when you toast it
2 x (eep!) egg whites - oh, hell - watch this space for more on the "will i turn into an egg, and if so, will i just be the white?" experiments
1 x half fat cheese slice, zapped to perfection
1 x first cup of tea of the day - the best cup, as everyone knows
1 x wine glass of fruit juice

...in which i didn't really miss the turkey, and the egg should cover the protein. the cheese slice stole the show with its no-nonsense professionalism in the face of being microwaved - a nice, even melt - good spread, good spread.

Bourgeoise Moment Of The Day: drinking fruit juice out of a wine glass at half eight in the morning

Heroes

Quick-fix Dinner With No Time To Spare And Egg Craving Satiating Evening-Breakfast
2 x egg whites - professionally seperated, boy i'm getting good at that
2 x "nimble" brown bread, purchased only by weight watchers dieters the world over - pleurgh. pleurgh.
2 x the last of the turkey rashers (sob)
2 x sneaky sprays of the fake butter compound

well, i missed my turkey rashers this morning, although i'm seriously worried about my intake of egg whites. my consolation is that i must be working them off, but i should probably consume some oily fish to counter the cholesterol. which i'm not looking forward to. this brings into the debate my strange empathy for sea-dwelling creatures. though not a sea-dweller myself, i do feel sad for little fishies what get caught. chickens and turkies annoy me, so my guilt is assuaged there. but poor fishes.

having said that, i'm going to get a tuna steak for tomorrow unless i want to run the risk of becoming an egg white.

Guilt Of The Day: twix-sniffing

Anxiety Of The Day: too many eggs spoil the beth?

The Simpsons

Cute Platter Of Stuff And Extra Stuff From Tins
2 x ryvita (have i been spelling it wrong?)
2 x scrapings of quark
1/2 tin of mandarins - nom nom nom
storehouse full of pepper
tasty ginger pop

...i'm still unashamedly not bored with these snacks, but i'm aware that they may be palling on the diet diaries blogfans, so i'm going to try something different tomorrow... i swear.
