I had quite a relaxed day today. Took my progress picture and finished my reading before going for my first workout to the gym. I did chest, shoulder and triceps at the gym. After that I headed for my swim. I did a 200 meter test to see if I would qualify if ever there was a reason to test my swimming abilities and I finished 200 meters breaststroke in about 7 minutes. I feel like that is very slow despite my training for so long. Tomorrow I am considering doing it in freestyle to see if I qualify. Additionally I did extra 800 meters of swimming just to kill the time. I keep the swim as an alternative to my outdoor walk because sometimes it rains and I have to work out inside in the evening. But that event has come and gone and I haven’t actually used that contingency yet.

From the pool I headed home and had breakfast. I was grateful to not have to fast today. I began working after that. I worked till evening and went out for my walk. My friend Apurva was supposed to join me but my friend Sagar joined me instead. We went to a garden for a walk because the city I live in has many planned gardens both large and small ones for the families that live in the area.

Some pictures for you to peruse.

After my walk I pretty much came home and did some more work. For lunch I had chickpeas and rice and only ate fruit in the evening because I am on a calorie deficit. I also managed to finish my gallon of water after the walk. I gained a little bit of weight bringing the tally to 106.6 Kg and it was expected considering I broke fast yesterday. Day 22 was a success.
