Day 55 : "Injury on the Final Strait"

What a strange feeling.  This is the last evening in which I'll be sitting down to write my blog.  I'm not going to know what to do with myself in the evenings next week. (I sincerely hope I won't be substituting blog with pie.)

I'm actually struggling a bit with typing right now.  No, not because I'm crying.  Rather because, on the penultimate day of my challenge, I've only gone and managed to have my first fish-related accident.  I was opening a tin of tuna to make my dinner tonight, when I sliced the tip of my left forefinger on the lid. There was lots of blood, and now I have a plaster on my finger.  Its making me a clumsy typist.  I knew all that fish wouldn't be good for me.


Today I did a really heavy legs workout at the gym, after spending a couple of hours putting up the outside Christmas tree and outside lights.  I now ache so bad that I'm getting up out of chairs like I've pooped myself.  Talking of which - that's now been 6 days.  The longest yet, and a little worrying, although I do feel fine.  (Apart from the aching legs, of course.)

I also spent an hour or so visiting my friends Clare & Martin this afternoon.  They were drinking cider whilst I drank coffee.  And I barely even noticed.  Result!


So, for the very last time... here's my full daily menu:

- Breakfast:  An apple;
- Lunch:  A tin of tuna;
- Post-workout snack:  A tin of mackerel;
- Dinner:  Some pan fried tuna, tomato, peas and spices.  Plus a banana.


So, what does tomorrow hold in store?  Well, I'll be paying the 56th of my self-set 56 visits to the gym early-ish in the morning, for the final workout of my challenge.  I'll then be coming home and asking my wife to take my 'after' photos, and doing my final weigh-in.  Then I'll be writing my 56th and final blog, posting my results and the after photos - along with each of the last 7 Sundays'  'during' photos as well.  This has to all be done by noon, as I'm off out for an early Christmas lunch with some relatives... so watch this space tomorrow morning!


For the final time., I suppose... Good night!!
