Mmm, more salad please

Day 1 went a tad awry but no big deal.  Banana and orange for breakfast, Salad Nicoise for lunch, pineapple chunks in the afternoon, half a bag of peanuts pregym, raw egg and milk, tropical pork and peppers (diced pork chop, pineapple, loads of peppers, stock, spices).  20 minutes HIIT training.  Standing military press (30kg x 8, 40kg x 5, 2 sets of 45kg x 5), straight legged deadlifts (warmed up, training on 45kg 3x 8 reps).  2-3 min rests between sets.  Overall opinion - well the nuts were overboard but I was starving by that point facing a gym session.  Both exercises could be bumped up in weight a tad.

Day 2, learned from mistake and took extra fruit.  2 bananas, 2 oranges, more salad Nicoise, rest of the nuts, dinner was chicken breast marinated in piri piri with corn on the cob, green beans, carrots and a little morrocon cous cous.  Really didn't need the nuts but hell my muscles need fuel from the weights training.

Not too unhappy with my progress so far.  My hunger is reducing, right now it's 4:15 and I'm fairly full on 2 bananas, 2 oranges and 1 apple.  Sleep also better, getting a little more and feeling much better for it.

Not training tonight as the Worcester Warriors play off is on and it's an important one.  Might even have an ale or two.  2 whole days without beer...jeez what stamina.  I'll limit it to two, I promise.
