Anyone who has been to our office knows it is a haven for all things that are bad for you. You are never more than an arm’s length away from a chocolate biscuit and we need little excuse to buy cakes – birthdays, last days or a day with a Y in it. But as part of our training, Keyan, Sarah and I have banished junk food and are attempting to eat healthily.
Jelly babies and donuts have been replaced by carrot sticks, salad and other unappetising snacks which resemble rabbit food. Our friends at Virgin Active gym in Rochester have told us to have five small meals a day and if we ever need advice on what to eat, we can always consult the Medway Messenger nutritionist (aka assistant news editor, gym addict and all-round healthy person Nathan).
Yesterday I started the day with porridge, followed by some fruit, a pasta salad for lunch and an afternoon snack of cardboard (low fat rice cakes). So far so good. The real test will come on Friday – otherwise known as breakfast-from-the-café-down-the-road day in our office. Will we be able to resist the temptation of a bacon sandwich?
Tonight , Sarah and I are off to the gym to see if we can put into practice what we were told by our personal trainer Demian on Monday. While Keyan is going to run around a five-a-side pitch with the rest of the boys from the office (I would say play football but going by the team’s previous form, you can’t really call it that).
We’ll let you know how we get on.
