Day 6

The start of Day 6. Oh Mama,, this morning's exercises were difficult although I think it is the cold I have talking.

OK - George - thank you for the rope tips: I have a new one which is much better. Did the first two sets tangle free. Others were the usual mess although I felt good getting two sets of 70 done - no trips. I have an old school skipping rope which is much easier to use and don't tangle with my flippers I call feet.

I do need help on lunges. Legs are sore from rope making lunges difficult, especially my right leg: guessing it is all a part of the initial conditioning.  Push ups were brilliant - last set not pretty but getting better.

Feeling sore all over but all good. Had half a vegemite sandwich for breakfast with a cup of tea. Keeping it easy.

All good - roll on Day 6.. towards day 7.

Just back from yet another work event and this was a tough one.

It was an Australian event here showcasing possibly the best Australian beef (yes, Aussie Beef) you can find in Japan. I had a very small piece and oh mama.. it was good. I realised it was a mistake as it called me for more. I instead had an orange juice and then enjoyed veges and salmon.

I know we can eat half of what ever although I ate half of what I'd consider a healthy meal.   I came home a little hungry - so had a low salt cracker (half actually) and totally feel fine.

I found my explanation of this programme at the event is a real draw card among boring discussions around work. Everyone seems to want to go on a diet, lose weight or eat healthier - but not sure how.  PCP is certainly word of mouth.

I have noticed my blogs are mainly about food - and as Marc pointed out today in his email - coming from a southern euro family background means that our lives revolve around food and most of it is bad heavy stuff.  So this change is significant.

All good. Tomorrow's 500 jump rope is actually good. Look forward to it (so says Night-guy: Seinfeld).

Onwards and upwards !
