So there ARE people who really eat this kind of stuff. Wow, I thought
it was just spin by these "trendy" restaurants.

Breakfast: cottage cheese (100 gr) and Hungarian salami (50 gr)
Lunch (5 pm): 1/2 fried eggplant, 2 fried ham slices, 3 ham slices, 1 Tbs
hot
chilli sauce, 1 Tbs cream
Dinner: /*
I felt so full after the lunch, I just didn't feel hungry at dinner time.
Water = 1,5 l
Cola light = 1,5 cups
Exercise:
nothing but cleaning thoroughly the house for 3.5 hrs
According to FitDay = 28 grams of carbs, and 453 calories burned.
My arms, especially my triceps, feel a bit sore after the exercise I did on
Wednesday, so I decided to take a break - the fitness routine's plan has
exercises for the chest and back today - and I really don't think I'll be
able to handle to weights today.
Same goes for the stationary bike - this is quite embarrassing, but I
actually have a small wound on my inner thigh, and I got it from the
exercise bike; a couple of days before I wore the shorts that were too short
for exercise, and this is how I got this wound. I tried to hop on the bike
today, but it felt uncomfortable. I think I will be ok tomorrow, though.
