Day 21

1000 jumps later and done. All good but very happy it's the weekend. Today is possibly going to be the most significant test on the food component of PCP.  I have an external breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Dinner will be fine: it is with PCP friendly friends - some are ex-PCP and can guide in terms of the menu.

Lunch: with a focus on Australian and Japanese relations within the Financial Services sector I have chosen a healthy tofu restaurant (for selfish me) which is nice - and should be PCP friendly.  I think mapping out which restaurants can be PCP friendly is important: and that includes use of salt, flexibility to change menu items - and of course ingredients.

Breakfast... oh no: I am about to have breakfast with our Ambassador and two very important executives (way more important than me and my diet).. so I have had a word with our chef; asked for no salt for my servings.  I am going to have to eat around what I am served - while smiling and waving my serviette in agreement to conversation.

This was my dinner last night which was REALLY good. Thanks guys for the tips on bulgur wheat; try it if you haven't. 90grams of it is not much but mixed in with shallots, heaps of parsley, corn, garlic and flash pan-fried salmon (heaps of pepper again) was really good.
I cooked the bulgur up and it tasted a little hard: let it sit with the pot lid on and then it was much better.

Day 21 down (and ongoing)..  onwards and upwards.
Breakfast - Done: chef poached egg (which was great) - so that and mushrooms and tomato. Most difficult thing about leaving bacon and sausage to the side of the plate was sitting there and not eating and falling out of the flow of the breakfast; covered though by moving things around on the plate.. (had to have been there). Australia and Japan remain with good relations and I stuck to my PCP intake. All good in the world. Giddyup.
