Greek salad with baked fish, fruit yoghurts as alternatives and maybe a Baltic style lentil soup or thai chicken etc. And a light breakfast as in orange and banana then rice bubbles and that's it for the day. I know I've done this backwards. Lots of tea even with sugar and voila, keeping around 75kg @ 180cms. <br />And write of course.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4829165784358497536.post-65337509468428606972011-07-21T21:31:23.556-05:002011-07-21T21:31:23.556-05:00John: I loved your presentation at the Pubic Safet...John: I loved your presentation at the Pubic Safety Writers Association Conference.

I also ride a stationary bike every evening for 20 minutes, though I'm handicapped and can't walk well. It keeps me functioning. I also swim and write six hours every day.
