Day 10 - "And finally, monsieur, a wafer-thin mint?"

Day 10 and going OK: it's not easy but keeping at it.

Seriously very full. Just had my lunch and had trouble eating my entire breakfast allotment earlier this moring. Must say cous cous makes it all better.

OK - as we're all becoming friends via these blogs I thought I'd share a side effect I am seeing from the PCP (besides the wellness benefits). I don't think I have ever had this much 'wind' (lets say) and gone to the bathroom as much. A fellow PCPer commented "I can sail a ship around the planet with all the wind I have".  Another post-PCPer noted it is all the veges. Anyway, in case you're going through this - you're not alone..

It was difficult to get all the exercises in this morning - skipping, sets but I did it and just made it in before my first meeting.  Find it better to get done in the morning - so aim on getting up 30minutes earlier (ie 5:30am) to get them all done.  A bit wobbly on the lunges and skipping - a tad better. All good. Just have the radio on loud and go to it.

Feel sore in the shoulders and mid-section but a good feeling. Unsure if anyone else has this problem although when I start the skipping - mid-back section hurts a little and knees are tight.. but it goes away at around jump 250. Not wanting to complain but in case anyone else has experienced this.  I did try stretching prior and I am walking my dogs 20mins before.. so there is a bit of warming up happening.

Tonight: plan to roast more pumpkin and bell peppers - then keep them in a container in the fridge. As there are no preservatives I imagine they will not last for more than 2 or 3 days.. but good ingredients for other things.

All good - Day 10 of the new Ricardo..
