Day 2 : "A wind blowing in from the north"

Another day gone.

Breakfast:  An apple
Lunch:  A bean salad, an apple and a can of diet coke.  (I once read Billie Piper's autobiography - as she's a Swindon lass. not because I was a fan of 'Honey to the Bee' - and remember her saying she lived on diet coke when she was an anorexic.  So if it's good enough for Billie, it's good enough for me.)
Dinner:  About to tuck into a mackerel salad.

Been to the gym this evening and did a biceps work-out, followed by 30 minutes on the cross trainer again.  Supposedly burnt off 528 calories on the cross trainer, which I guess means I'm burning off more than I'm eating, so my weight had better be going in the right bloody direction...  I guess I'll find out at my first weigh in - fat fighters stylee - on Sunday.  I might see if I can get my wife to dress as Marjorie Dawes.

One scientific fact I discovered today whilst driving home from Birmingham, which I'll share with you in the name of education: it appears that mixing beans, fruit and diet coke in an otherwise empty stomach, seems to kick off some kind of gaseous fermentation process.

All I can say, is you should be glad you weren't in the car with me.
